Mate he was like 30 yards out.

No way you’re a City fan if you don’t know that’s Phil’s specialty.

 

[Revolver]

England playing well. Hope it’s not a case of glorious semi final failure ala 1990 and 1996.

City players all doing great as is Mainoo to be fair.

Palmer on for Bellingham who is offering nothing.

 

[Jonas.shaffer]

As he was against the rags and against west ham and numerous other times, that's his party piece from there, there was even a thing on the OS about him practicing it over and over again

He was much further back for this shot than those, I believe.

 

[RayCTID]

Dutch are shit at penalties.

Their keeper has only saved one on his entire career. I'm sure that was part of the original tactical masterclass planned by the waistcoat. Phil will be getting bollocked now for ignoring it.

I can see it going all the way.

I thought Switzerland were going to be shite at penalties but only one miss. They seem to know what they are doing on corners.

 

[blue whippet]

Better.performance from England, Foden looking.like he is enjoying himself in a more central role,.relishing in a little more.freedom.
Never a penalty, I'd be cross if that was given against us. Kane appears quite static at times, Bellingham needs to pass more often, he hangs on to the ball for far too long.

 

[1894southstander]

Have you ever known Saka to be that type of player or are we just making things up here? Let's just enjoy the game without the mindless need to tear down players

He sulked when he was put there the other day. He's come out and said he doesn't want to play there even though it would help the team balance more.

 

[Vienna_70]

A much better performance.

However, Harry Hotspur is still dropping too deep, and on at least one occasion, Trippier had the opportunity to put the ball into the box, with four or five England players waiting for the cross, and he played it short.

That said, England have been clearly the better side, and Phil is been easily the best player. How unlucky was he on two occasions?

 

[Beanhead]

Football fans for you. Same on here.

Well I’m not one of them.. Manoo is easily the second best player on the pitch.

 

[burning blue soul]

Unlike most I thought it was a pen. Clearly caught Kane and didn’t touch the ball

Yep. Studs up, straight leg, high boot, missed the ball, caught the player.

As soon as I saw it I said pen.
