England v Denmark

[4D]

There was the same amount of contact on Sterling than there was from mount on that shit free kick that led to their goal. Fuck em

Yep. The Danes went down easily enough across the pitch.

Must remember to use those free £5/£10 bets,  not done very well with them up til now !!.

[Private Fraser]

I thought at the time there was enough contact for the pen to be given and this confirms it for me, at least:

The contact was apparently from the first defender. He was on his way down before being barged.

[Shrivvy Road]

In the video above you can see the contact. It's a stupid stupid attempt, he hasn't actually gone for the ball

[Bob's Orange]

I think the Danes were naive last night. Kane kept drifting into positions 30 yards from goal by the by-line and was looking for any excuse to flop on the floor to win free kicks in dangerous areas. As for the penalty, yes there is just about enough contact to warrant the award.

Clearly the game Denmark had to play in Baku took it out of them, the looked dead on their feet from about 80 minutes, had that penalty not been awarded I still think we'd have got another goal as they were shot with 10 men.

You can't say there's no contact there - if you do then I can't take you seriously. From that point in, Sterling loses his stride but doesn't go down until he is barged over from the other side which was also worthy of a penalty. If it's not given for the first contact then it definitely should be for the second.

And the ball had already gone at the point of first contact. There was no reason for there to be any contact at all. I reckon the defender knew exactly what he was doing but didn't get away with it.

There wouldn't be half as many comments about this if it wasn't England  #bitter

[Jimmy HaveHave]

Maybe Sancho for Saka and nobody really mentions how good Walker has been

[Shrivvy Road]

Only downside for last night was Pickford . His head seems to have gone again, weirdly it went in the 70th min against Ukraine. Last night I thought we started brilliantly but then he had a wobble and it really knocked us out of our stride

[horlock07]

We did what we needed to do, which is what we have done all tournament.

I am going to get rapidly pissed off if the events of this morning are repeated over the next 4 days, every bloody radio station seems to be playing 3 lions on repeat...

[Berniman]

Bring on the final.

I didn't think either penalty shouts were penalties but I couldn't give less of a fuck - after Lampards non goal, the hand of goal and numerous other things that have gone against us over the years - we are due some luck in a tornament.

Italy is a tough one, and my head says we will get out shithoused on the day, but it is a final so anything can happen - bring it home boys

[Samdy Gray]

I wonder if we'll go with the wingbacks again on Sunday, try and keep Insigne and Chiesa quiet.

[Jimmy HaveHave]

You may be right as Italy do like to use the width of the pitch

Perhaps some of the Irish lads replying should take a look at this
