Let's be honest, the Danes have been poor. That was cheating by Sterling but on the balance of play England deserve it.

Was half rooting for England because of Shaw and Maguire but this is tasteless.

Fecking corrupt shambles

Yes it was a dive but I don't give a feck thats why you don't sub Raheem.

I'll take it, I've watched Germany do it, Brazil do it, Italy do it, I've even seen a Dutch person who likely cheered on Robben whinging about it. Its cheating but every other cnut does it so I don't give a feck, good man Raheem and good man Harry.
Agree, it’s soft, but a lot of people here are conveniently forgetting so many teams who have done the same to win a crucial game.

England probably deserve the win but the fact that they had to do it via a dive and a rebound from a penalty in extra time is funny.
Agreed.
I really like the England team, it's just the media and fans I dislike to the point that I hope Italy wins.

It’s rare to see such an obvious dive when a penalty is awarded. If VAR can’t overturn that decision in a game as big as this one then the whole thing has been a complete waste of everyone’s time.
I mean, we’ve known VAR is dogshit since it arrive, no?

Got to feel sorry for the Danes. First an own goal then that dive giving a pen.

Funny, if you’re English and say he dived, that’s fair game.
If you’re not english and say it’s a dive it means you’re bitter.

never change England fans
Problem is that it isn't as black and white as a 'dive' or a 'stonewaller'. It was soft, but there was a little contact and they often get given.

We can bring nationalities into it but I guarantee any other forward in that position goes down for the pen after the slight contact. His cross would've almost certainly been blocked so it was the percentage play at that point.
