Had a barney on WhatsApp last night with non-City mates about the red shirts/City on pens.

Apparently I was just being silly. I try really hard not to discuss football with them, good lads but armchairs to a man and they have no idea/acceptance of any bias, take their football knowledge from MOTD.

When proven wrong regularly the phrase "you won so why are you moaning" is a staple for domestic games.

Kane and to an extent Grealish bought fouls and were praised for it to quote the TV last night a few times, if they end up with us that'll stop.

Those players won't know what's hit them.
 
From the Daily Telegraph about last night....

How the Danish reacted​

Denmark's newspapers showed little of the joshing humour which marked the run-up to their team's semi-final clash with England. The Ekstra Bladet tabloid, and BT tabloid both led their main stories on the referee decisions that, in their view, had robbed their team of victory.

"Denmark was cheated," ran the headline on BT's website, while Ekstra Bladet's ran with "Hjulmand furious", with both reporting on the anger of Denmark's coach Kasper Hjulmand that referees had failed to stop the penalty which gave England its second goal, despite there being an extra ball on the pitch.

"That sort of thing destroys a match in a minute. It's irritating and frustrating," he said. "It's is hard -- especially the way we were knocked out. It's a shame for the boys and bitter for us."

The TV2 broadcaster quoted two referees, and several top managers from third countries who all questioned whether the penalty should have been given in the first place, with many Danish fans convinced that Raheem Sterling had dived.

In a poll on their website, 92 percent of respondents said that England should not have been given the penalty.

The national broadcaster DR, and several of the newspapers, posted up a video showing how Danish keeper Kasper Schmeichel had been dazzled by a laser pen from the stands just seconds before one of England's penalty kicks, showing the green light on his cheek.

"And then they wonder why no one likes England," the Jyllands-Posten newspaper quoted one Danish twitter user, Kasper Grøndah, writing. "Booing during the Danish national anthem, diving like crazy during the game, elbows in every header. Laserpens. I hope they get a taste of their own medicine against Italy."

The newspaper also described how "cheers, battle cries and insults" had "turned to silence" among 8,000 Denmark fans at a big-screen event in Aarhus, when Harry Kane's penalty shot kicked Denmark out of the championship.

Poul Hoi, the UK correspondent for the upmarket Berlingske newspaper, wrote an opinion piece presenting the victory as the only bright spot in an otherwise dark time for Britain, expressing his distaste at the "strangely aggressive" celebrations in central London.

"Let the English party," the opinion piece was headlined. "They have nothing else, and rejoice instead that you have woken up in Denmark."

Ekstra Bladet also bemoaned a 'Hard Exit' and thanked their team "for the party".

Ouch!
