Euro: SF: England v Denmark, 7/7/2021

[Scandale du Jour]

Ah this Italy team is fine. And by fine I mean I’m their biggest fan Sunday.

I'll never cheer for Italy. They are the lesser of two evils for this French Canadian, but I absolutely DESPISE Italian football.

I'll watch Copa and root for you. Now that Messi is a free agent, I can root for him to get an international title

 

[Jussi]

Not enough contact. How do you propose defenders are playing if that is a penalty?

The defender gave the ref a chance to give penalty by putting his foot on Sterling running lane.

 

[Eisen]

England vs Italy, to me, is like choosing between AIDS and cancer. Shitty final.

AIDS is very treatable these days. So choose which team is AIDS to you and cheer for that one.

I didn't think it was a penalty after looking at the replay, but it is what it is. I think Italy will win as they've come toe to toe with some of the favorites and came out on top

 

[Live in the Now]

Nah I won't really go that far. It's wrong. This is the only time in modern football where a team got to play this many tournament games in one stadium. They didn't even have to travel except once to play a terrible team and their opponents had to go all over the place. It's a hilarious joke is what it is.

Sorry I need to correct myself. This is the only time it happened except when England hosted Euro 96 and got to do the exact same thing. None of the other hosts ever get to do this. No favoritism at all there.

 

[Theokritos]

No card for handball?

Handball is not an automatic yellow. In this scene there was no reason to card Kane.

 

[Evilo]

Number 5 clearly clips Sterling's leg.

Your link doesn't work to me, but I've seen like 5 different angles, as did everyone and not a single one showed a foul.

Celebrate all you want, but there's no need to lie or give excuses. That was an awful dive and never a penalty.

 

[Adrianopolous]

Sterling has been the player of this tournament by far

 

[Moncherry]

Denmark can thank their manager for pretty much killing any chance they had to win the game.

 

[Eisen]

The defender gave the ref a chance to give penalty by putting his foot on Sterling running lane.

Sure, just like in every battle for the ball.

 

[bluesfan94]

I've had money on Italy since the start of the tournament. Also have money on Phoenix in the NBA. Looking good so far

 

[Jussi]

I'll never cheer for Italy. They are the lesser of two evils for this French Canadian, but I absolutely DESPISE Italian football.

I'll watch Copa and root for you. Now that Messi is a free agent, I can root for him to get an international title

Oh it's going to be fun to see all those people complaining about diving cheering for Italy's diving

 

[All Mod Cons]

England vs Italy, to me, is like choosing between AIDS and cancer. Shitty final.

Just do everyone a favor. Miss it. And f*** off. Happy days. You're happy. We're happy. Everyone's happy.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

AIDS is very treatable these days. So choose which team ls AIDS to you and cjeer for that one.

Well, it kinda has to be Italy.

I hate their football more than I hate English football... but a French Canadian of Acadian decent cannot root for England.

 

[Suiteness]

England got robbed when they scored a goal
Against Germany and crossed over line and wasn't counted. There are countless bad calls in soccer history where a game was decided. Hand of God etc. Move on.

VAR was actually implemented so things like that doesn't happen again. But VAR covered the referee today for that garbage call. The system doesn't work.

 

[bluesfan94]

The defender gave the ref a chance to give penalty by putting his foot on Sterling running lane.

This is also called a tackle.

 

[Circus86]

Schmeichel was hit by a laser in the face during the penalty. Classless.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Oh it's going to be fun to see all those people complaining about diving cheering for Italy's diving

Italy vs Brazil, now, that would be quite the mind f***

 

[Jussi]

This is also called a tackle.

Except it was clumsy and late.

 

[Evilo]

That's exactly the type of stuff VAR was instituted to overturn

Yes because the ref is bound to make mistakes on stuff like that.
But who was in front of the VAR screen exactly?
Who had the balls to tell the ref he made the right decision without even asking him to take a look?

 

[Live in the Now]

Denmark can thank their manager for pretty much killing any chance they had to win the game.

I think the players had no energy left tbh. They went from Copenhagen to Amsterdam then back to Denmark because they make you go to your base because of covid, then out to Baku and back to their base and then to London.

 

[cgf]

Bummed the Danes couldn't pull it out with how well they played the first 80, but they ran out of steam. So ultimately it's probably better England tries to stop Italy.

Anyways, really happy for our english regulars on here & those players.

Italy are the grandmasters of diving.

Raheem Sterling:

 

[bluesfan94]

Except it was clumsy and late.

It was so clumsy it didn't touch him.

 

[Jussi]

Schmeichel was hit by a laser in the face during the penalty. Classless.

He didn't even notice it though. They just showed it on Finnish tv.
