Euro Semi finals - ENG V NL; SPA v FRA

[MikeH72]

Kane kicked the football, on the half volley, that requires him to follow through with that motion..

But it was him to kicked the bottom of Dumfries’ boots who’d jumped in to win the tackle? Gotcha

So Kane got to the ball first and Dumfries didn’t? Gotcha

I’m agreeing with you haha my 2nd paragraph was being sarcastic about people saying Kane kicked him.

Thank you brother insallah

Surprised he give that penalty but can see why he’s given it. It’s a free kick anywhere else on the pitch

The arguments of “Kane kicked his foot” & the “defender has every right to go for it” are absolutely comical though.

Dumfries has jumped into win a ball, studs showing, missed the ball & connected with the centre forwards foot. It’s absolutely irrelevant what his “rights” are when you don’t win the ball.

ITV expert on VAR says it won't even be looked at,then it is and the alleged bent referee looks at it and gives a penalty.

It's funny. Here in Germany there is not even a debate about it. All pundits/commentators I've seen/heard have all said clear penalty. No controversy at all.

Few English TV "pundits" said definitely not a penalty,but obviously happy they got it.

ITV expert full of waffle because two seconds later the commentators said VAR were checking for a possible penalty.

Everyone crying about the bent referee when it was VAR who practically gave it. I’ve only ever seen one referee overturn a VAR recommendation & we all know who that was against. LOL.

Not sure what your point is, VAR recommended the penalty.

The same crowd are still moaning that they should have had a penalty against Spain, so I'd take them with a large pinch of salt.

Recommended.Could the media pressure from Bellingham have had any weight with the referees decision?

Yeah maybe. But I really don't see what the fuss is. It's a pen clear as day IMO. And it's really not bias. If it was roles reversed I wouldn't feel aggrieved at all if that was given against us.

Not for me. I think it was incredibly soft. I wouldn't have given Germany a penalty either.

The fact it was a penalty probably helped.
