England v Denmark | Euro 2020 Semi Final

[5 Hit Gibbon]

I feel like I'm going insane with the "Sterling dived" nonsense.

The Denmark #5, Maehle, you can see his right knee clip Sterling's right calf/ankle. At the same time, the Denmark #24, Jensen, barges his right hip into Sterling's left thigh/hip. The combined force of the contact sends Sterling to the ground.

People are acting like he threw himself over without so much as a whiff of a defender being near him.

Some of it coming from City fans too. There are some who seem to want to knock Sterling at every opportunity.

I’m a danish city supporter, so the decision is a bit more painful to me, since I was on the receiving end :-)
I’m not giving Raheem stick, it’s the refs decision, that is hard to comprehend.

Anyways, as I wrote in the thread yesterday.
Congrats, England were the better side.

Fair play, didn't know you were Danish so you can complain away. :-)

It was soft but I think it is a pen. Any other player then Sterling and lot more people say it's a pen

How times have changed. Lineker once got us a penalty against Cameroon, got us into the semi of the wc, he was a hero for that.


Sterling = hated

We may disagree on Mr Southgate and the direction the England team may be heading.
But you're right here.

I wouldn’t be, if it was a foul, but it was never a foul. Look at his movement. Raheems leg doesn’t move or change dirrections, he manage to take half a step, before falling to the ground.
That split second where he realises, a slight insignificant touch.. and then he tumbles.

The knee to his right leg, you can see the vibrations in Raz’s hamstrings. And then there is hip to hip contact that’s not legal after that n’all.

It’s right on the border of not being a penalty, granted. It’s the softest penalty you’ll find that is a penalty. But it is a penalty.

Fortunately the majority of people can be happy for him and enjoy the moment. Sadly there will always be a few on here and in the media who feel the need to be negative about anything that relates to Raz.

It will come in handy for England as Italy will be doing the same.

It's a penalty all day long.

Raz has been immense , this tournament is just what he needed. He will take this form into next season and help us win another Title I'm sure.

Yes I must remember that, it is the few. Thinking of giving up social media because it does amplify them
