You think so?  I thought it was pretty soft. And I'd rather see England win.

It's a little soft, but I've seen way worse given.

And it can be avoided by not making contact with the dribbler anywhere below the waist.  You really can't blame it on the ref.  Don't touch him.

Fucking nails is hitting a shit pen and getting lucky with the rebound?  It was a dive.  

Lol I don't get the England hate but whatever. He had his progress to the ball impeded by two defenders inside the box.

This. 24 with a hockey style hip check. It was a touch soft,  but called.

Sure.  I was just kind of taken aback by the "Clear as day" comment. I thought that was a 30/70 or 50/50 decision.

In a year of athletics asterisks, England should get a big one.  But they won't...because England.  We have to make sure the most composed people get some breaks to keep them from whining.

Yeah, I was just thinking that with 100 different refs, that's probably a pen 30 or 40 times.  It's not exactly egregious.

That shouldn't have been a PK.

That was weak soft shit. Terrible

Jesus.    That’s such a weak ass fucking penalty 

I agree. It's soft. And in added time in a semi-final. You should never give that.


Fuck Denmark for parking the bus.

Hope Italy wins now.

No idea how England is going to deal with a defensively stout team attacking them at pace at every opportunity.  It's not like England can just keep the ball like Spain did.

sterling took a dive, and anyone who says otherwise is full of shit. he fell down screaming like Terry Tate had just run through him, when in reality what little contact there was wouldn't have knocked over a piece of paper machet. total horse shit. i hope denmark scores and then we get a 120' OG by Sterling.

Is it a foul if it's outside of the box? Yes or no? 

It's really that simple. It doesn't have to be a cardable offense.

Agree that it was a soft penalty, but also agree with this. The Danes invited disaster by playing so negative and all but begged England to score.

Is it clear enough to tip the scales in a quarterfinal match? I'd prefer he didn't call it and let VAR take a look.

If Denmark could actually get the ball into the box, I wouldn't be surprised to see the ref look to give them a pen if given half a chance.

Probably?  But I don't know that this is the actually way these things play out in real life.

It just makes no sense. One of the top 3 players on his squad, with fresh legs, and the best player in the country at keeping possession...

 

 

...sub him off

But how is he at parking the bus?

It's the way I see it. And looking at the replay, it was totally a dive. If that's enough to call off the penalty then so be it. But the way I look at these things is is what the defender does a foul and that hip check fits the bill. i.e. if Sterling doesn't dive he gets fouled and it's probably a pen. 

Idk. Denmark's bus parking was also getting annoying like Buzzrock said. The better team is up.

I have enjoyed Denmark’s strategy of when in possession of the ball, allow the Angerland’s to get up on you before moving it again or dribbling.   Italy could royally fuck England employing that strategy

People mock Southgate, but a World Cup semi and a Euro final is good.

It is. And it's not like England has a bunch of newfound talent. Well, maybe they do, but they've always been an extremely talented side. 

I don't think Southgate is great or anything but it's hard to argue with results and England NT manager has to be one of the most criticized jobs in sports.
