England were lucky, needing a poor penalty decision and an own goal.

In fairness, the free kick that Denmark got for their goal was never a foul. Competitions like this are always about luck and decisions going for or against you. I think you have to admit though that overall England were by far the better side. We had much more possession and far more shots. Think it was about 20 shots to their 6/7

We invented the game, that is what it refers to as 'home'

Football was invented in England and when the Euros were held in England in 1996 , there was a song about "Footballs coming home"

I know Schmeichel pointed that out the other day--(just before we beat them--555) --- But its time to get all Jingoistic and stop quoting facts Neeranam, remember we do rule the waves etc etc.....I haven't lived there since the 60s, but woke the wife at 3am this morning shouting at the TV..

 

If nothing else it gets me time to have some deep and meaningful conversations on Line with Supporters......

i am for my "Italian cousins ", but I admit than Spain was better, but the winner is the one who scores the most goals

As a neutral, I thought Sterling’s dive was shameful - do these players not have one ounce of pride?  Rhetorical question but clearly not, and sad that the referee (who otherwise had a good night, IMO) bought into it.  Lets hope the final is decided by actual skill and not play acting.

Don't hold your breath. It is Italy..... Did you see Immobile (aka Lazarus) against Belgium?

Another neutral here, I agree with you, the Dutch referee decided the game when he stupidly gave a penalty that clearly wasn't one. Bizarrely Kane then can't score the penalty and gets a free tap in.

 

Hard to share this hero worship of a team that includes players arrested twice for beating women (Sterling), one censured for paying two prostitutes for a sex party during lockdown (Walker), one for giving insider betting information to his mates (Trippier), one with a ludicrous Man-Bun (Philips) and one sporting a girlie headband (Grealish).

 

Still, Kane is a gentleman, and I preferred England to go through. Hard to see them prevail over Italy though. This was as bumbling and lucky a route to the final as one could imagine.

The South Americans and southern Europeans seems to be masters of the “dark arts” aka cheating although, to be fair, I have never thought of Italy in this specific way.  Yes, a bit of a generalization (see Arjen Robben as a counter example) but I think it is comparatively fair.  
 

Will need a referee with balls of steel to hold the line and call the game fairly.  Can only hope.

Was Sterling arrested for beating a women..??.................... Wow.. she must have been small...

He was.

 

"On 8 August 2013, Sterling was arrested for an alleged common assault on his former girlfriend, a model. A few months earlier, on 20 May 2013, a charge of common assault on a different woman was dropped after a witness failed to turn up to court."

Walker was caught with two prostitutes during lockdown.

 

Trippier gave betting tips to his mate.

 

A real group of "heroes".

Wouldn't dispute these facts......but have a suspicion they are hardly unique to any (international) football team

Prosecution dropped this one during the court case as the 'ex' was found to be an unreliable witness.

Is that the time when he scored twice in 60 minutes then got pulled off in the second half ?

& Phil Foden cheating on G/F ----& Wayne Rooney -with his Granny's......etc etc I think your taking it all to seriously Tanomazu...most of them are kids who because they can kick a ball around are suddenly surrounded by women who wouldn't normally give them a 2nd glance. --You must see a bit of a parallel in that in Thailand.

 

There's not to many clean skins --but I think I would rather spend the afternoon with a nutter like Gazza then some Knob Head like Gary Lineker

Did you even watch it? There's some selective vision if you did.

 

The own goal would have been scored by Sterling anyway and Kane himself was taken out for what could have been a penalty so in the end it all balances out. The stats tell the tale.

Yes, and in Foden's case it was particularly bad, that he did that gangbang with the icelandic girls, since he has a small son and long term girlfriend.

 

I bet I didn't take it as seriously as Foden's girlfriend.

Seen Sterling miss those!???? And to be fair, Kane committed a foul just before he was challenged in the box so the ref was correct not to give him a pen. As for Sterling's penalty, it was a soft one but the fact is, if you don't go down, you will never get a decision. Sad, but something we are stuck with.

I would agree.......I tend to view football more as a form of entertainment rather a 'true' sport like (say) athletics .........rules are obey, dis-obeyed, ignored, players are allowed to pressure officials........all designed to whip up the crowd.

[wilai]

Technically......The Sterling pen shouldn't have been given as the ref should have blown earlier due to an extra ball on the pitch!
