England v Denmark | Euro 2020 Semi Final

[bluealf]

England were the slightly better side and deservedly went through.

The Ref got both penalty decisions absolutely wrong - Kane was fouled in the box - not called. And Sterling was brushed by a defender and then went down - called for a penalty. Not for me. Sterling intentionally went down after the slightest of contact - but the contact wasn't sufficient IMO to warrant a penalty.

In the Euros, VAR decisions are much more rapid and I like, overall, how VAR is working in the Euros. Yet, for me, the foul on Kane should have been overturned by VAR as should have the foul on Sterling.

So you didn't see Kane kick the defender on the calf before he then flopped over in the box?

How strange.

You also didn't see Sterling get hit around the hip area either.

Even stranger.

I would be happy to have that ref do every single one of City's games next season.

I watched both penalty decisions closely. Kane was fouled. Sterling went down after soft contact. Kane - penalty. Sterling - not a penalty.

It's controversial though, I suppose.

England fans FUME as Harry Kane's penalty claim is waved away

England fans have been left highly divided by the decision not to award Harry Kane a vital penalty as the Three Lions search for a place in the European Championships.

So again you didn't see him kick the defender on the calf before any other perceived incident that would have made Kane flop over in the box?

How can you not see him kick the defender lol

But if this is what we do to make a point correct I'll play.

Kane - not a penalty

Sterling - penalty

His right knee was knocked first then his left knee was knocked running at speed, even the fucking Pope would have gone down, some people need glasses the contact was high up at knee level, watch the replay. Sterling one of the best players in the world and he is playing for us, along with Foden, Walker, and Stones, made me very proud to be a City fan, City changing the face of football for the better, all we need now is Kane and Grealish.

Taking a break from the Sterling/Penalty issue, anyone know who the visually impaired sports ‘reporter’ is that does the player ratings for Sky?

A 6 for Kyle “Full marks for the critical covering run and tackle to stop Damsgaard when the Danish forward broke through but unable to offer anything of note going forward and his distribution was erratic. But when England needed experience and clear heads, he didn't make a mistake.”, BUT AN 8 for Maguire !WTF? AND Stones was also given a 6!

And whilst Sterling was given an 8, so was Saka ?

Was I watching a different game ?

And a 7 for Grealish but just a 6 for Phil

See video and commentary above. Again, I watched both decisions carefully - and I disagree with the ref on both.

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

Owen dived against the Argies too

Kane fouled the danish player just before the foul on him, so not a pen as ref had already called a foul by kane before he himself was tripped
