Euro: Semifinals - England v. The Netherlands - July 10

[Jussi]

Wow what a finish.

That was a proper striker's finish.

 

[ItsFineImFine]

Southgate you lucky MFer.

 

[McGarnagle]

I've only watched the second half and don't have a horse in the race but if I were Dutch I'd be screaming about this ref

 

[Power Man]

Absolutely travesty, highway robbery

Spain will smash them

 

[Blender]

Anyone who watched the Premier League this season should not be surprised that Palmer and Watkins connected for a goal.

 

[WTG]

For all the drama from the Brits about the ref they manage to get all the calls.

 

[ScottishCanuck]

Its coming home

The username checks out.

Ollie should have been playing more. Best striker in the EPL

 

[Live in the Now]

Even if you think he didn't have the standing to directly reject the offer as it was happening, at the very, very least you can be prepared to send an FYI to the refs union right away saying "Hey, my ref boss gave me $300 and asked me to not make calls against one team"

Correct. You are supposed to instantly call them.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Full credit to the officiating crew for once again bringing a shit England team to the finals.

 

[kihei]

I'll be damned. They do it again.

 

[Savant]

Oh thank god no extra time

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

You can't be prepared for the main referee to be the one fixing games and then have to go against that person with no authority of your own as a rookie.

I get what you're trying to say, but no-one's entitled to officiate Euro semifinals. Zwayer could have gone on to pursue a different hobby and get on with his life. There's a big problem when so many posts in a major match thread are about the ref before the game is even over.

 

[NyQuil]

Another late goal.

 

[ItsFineImFine]

Watch him still start Foden & Kane instead of Palmer & Watkins/Toney.

 

[ScottishCanuck]

Look at the state of that support. Brexit personified.

 

[Live in the Now]

Lol why only 2 minutes?

 

[bluesfan94]

The goal was scored right at 90', so there should be two minutes of action following the kickoff.

 

[keonsbitterness]

Nice goal.

As a corrupt individual, I support the ref.

 

[robertmac43]

What a moment for Watkins. Came out of nothing.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

WAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Evilo]

Worse part of the draw, facing crappy team every round and still needing miracles and reffing to go through every round.

Yuck.

 

[WTG]

What was Keoman thinking too waiting till 90 minutes to make subs?

The pretty much sole reason for that are the British tabloids rather than refereeing performance which has been about average.

He was thinking: “I’m Ronald Koeman.”
