That was never a pen and should never have been called that way. Had the ref not blown for a pen VAR would not have awarded it.

The celebration at the end for winning a semifinal was insanely over the top. I mean if you had just beat Germany or Spain I would get it a bit more. But beating a Denmark team without their best player in a dodgy way certainly should have been more subdued. It was like you just won the whole thing.

Anyway congrats to all the England fans. I get being happy for your team, but you still have work to do against a much better side.

You've no way of knowing that really. In the event, VAR didn't have to award it. They only have to confirm there is no clear and obvious error. And personally I don't think there was.

It's comments like his that really put me off supporting England. Doesn't take much for the mask of inclusion to slip, revealing petty jingoism and the old 'if you're not with us you're against us' nonsense. See also almost anything written by that weird Spurs supporter who posts here incessantly.

Agree
Kind of line brexiteers have been pushing out, as though it’s a moral victory for them personally and if you are against it leave what then believe is “their” country.
Small minded arse clowns.
 
I think the thing you have to fear about the Italians is their effectiveness on the counter and from outside the box.

Austria sat in tight against them, and were effective, just ran out of steam.

Genuinely think it’ll be a really good game, because both teams are very similar in terms of quality. Italy will let England have the possession, and it’s absolutely massive that they don’t go behind early on, as the Italians are masters of the art of time wasting.

But you just barely squeaked by a depleted and inferior opponent in the dodgiest of ways on home soil.

I mean celebrate and thank your lucky stars, but don't celebrate like you just won the whole thing.

It was like when the RS celebrated that draw a couple of years ago at Anfield. It was so cringe worthy. Someone with a better memory than me will remember that game.

You question someone comparing celebrations in 2 semi final victories in the same tournament then compare it with a rs draw in a league game v WBA.

Why would it stop you wanting to support England? The team and the fans are two completely separate entities. There are many bad bell Everton fans but they don’t make you want to stop supporting them do they.
 
On the penalty again, it was definitely soft but there was contact on Sterling’s hip by the second defender. Question needs to be asked about why the defenders even put their legs across, it’s asking for trouble especially against a pacy player like Sterling
