What did Palmer do?

Apparently, he ran around after he scored and at the final whistle smiling at people.

I noticed one or two of the England lads goading the Spanish lad who missed the penalty in the immediate aftermath. I don't know if anything had gone on earlier in the game, but it didn't look great.

Considering Spain had been at it all game, I think we can let the emotional reactions slide. Seven bookings, a red card, and a coach sent to the stands says all you need to know about the Spanish. The woe is me act won’t be working this time.

Didn't the English also have people red carded?

It seemed to me that both sides were as graceless as the other. But that's competitive sports sometimes. We see it at under 12s or even younger sometimes and the next day everyone's buddies again.

Pff .... The guy had been an asshole all game. How he wasn't sent off is a mystery. Then he lies on the floor for two minutes looking for a penalty and when he gets it, what do you think, he gets up to take it. If you are an asshole, you should expect it back.

It didn't look great taking that incident in isolation,but you probably needed to have watched the previous 97 mins to get a feel for the game and the emotions/adrenaline.

Its also my opinion that its about time we gave a bit of cuntiness/shithousery back,it may well be a reason we won and that we will continue to perform better in the future.

All the complaining and histrionics are them basically saying, 'it wasn't our fault we lost', when it absolutely was.
Take it on the chin, and do better next time.
