We are currently blessed with a once in a generation collection of footballers and a boring manager. That Grealish is 25 years old with less than 15 caps, says it all really.

I desperately want England to win, but my signature quote from Danny Blanchflower is how I feel about the game.

What don't you like about the performance Cyril?? We dominated possession, we created 21 chances with 10 on target, we defended well & we got the desired result..
Yes we dominated the game and fully deserved to win, but let's be honest, Denmark didn't offer much up front and it's hard to watch because we're so defensive we're only ever one lucky strike away from disaster.

Stats mean diddly btw, gotta love all that sideways and backwards possession in our own half, we hardly ever missed a pass between Stones and Rice so our completion rate will be good too. I have to say, I don't remember 21 chances, nor 10 on target, but I wasn't counting, perhaps the penalty counts as two ;-)

I don't feel bad about Sterling diving to win a penalty because I thought Kane should have had one before, so it evens out, but it's not great football when you have to resort to cheating. Even for the oggie, Sterling dived over Kjaer throwing his arms in the air, he can't stop himself falling over. :lol:
I agree with you on the Kane penalty. Bad ref decision. England deserved the win but players like Sterling need to be taken out of the game. Diving like he does every match.

England fully deserving of the win.

You can debate the penalty which was there for me, especially with a whistle happy ref who thought it was a non contact sport, but you then need to debate Kane's one which was clear as day.

I don't think it was a penalty, BUT if the ref hadn't given it I don't think VAR would have overruled. I can see why it was given and as you said, Kane's was a pen.

England were by far the better team on the night,Sterling is a BS artist & the VAR team should be replaced by somebody competent to do the job,as they missed the clear as day pen on Kane.I hope German Felix Brych does not ref in final.Talking about final what a game that will be-bring it on!

Didn't bother him, he saved the pen, just failed to keep out rebound strike

in the lead up to the penalty, there was a second ball on the pitch near where Sterling dribbled into the 18yd box......what do the laws of the game say a referee has to do in this situation.....maybe we can ask Hawksey who is familiar with the rules....

Italians and English? Two more modest winners you will not find.

It will be quietly discussed for a couple of days, but I doubt the euro 2020 Champions will ever be brought up again after that on this forum.

FA Charged today over this and two other offences, fireworks and disturbing Danish national anthem.

In regards to booing national anthems which also happened in the Germany game, why is this even happening ? Other countries respect Englands national anthem, but a minority English supporters choose to disrespect other countries.

It's happened all my life, maybe even NOC's? Why is it suddenly an issue. It may not be right, but not really a problem.
Booing a national anthem is far better than that stupid and outdated C'mon Aussie c'mon...that should be a criminal offence.

I believe it's play on if the referee determines it to not be interfering with play. In this case, the second ball didnt cause the defender to miss a tackle so it's play on.

With the other events, If Kane's wasn't a penalty for such a soft foul then surely Sterling's. Referee was consistent with his calling of soft free kicks, even Denmark's goal was a weak free kick.

C’mon Aussie doesn’t disrespect another country like booing it’s national anthem does.

England legend Gary Lineker condemns it.
