He stops the second video as contact is made and then weirdly edits it to seem like it’s still playing. Says everything you need to know.
But Sterling's already going down by the time the second video ends, so if contact happens as the video is ending then what is making Sterling's legs give way before contact comes in? It's obviously a dive on the first challenge that makes no contact, and then the other guy comes in as Sterling's already going down with a tiny touch that'd never be called as a pen in a million years.

After all these years of Scholes, Gerrard, Lampard, Carrick etc, are they really going to win a fecking tournament with Phillips and Rice?

Southgate is infuriating.

Grealish is our best player at keeping the ball and winning fouls, exactly what we need right now, so let's take him off for a right back. Genius.

Imagine this penalty getting called against England. The Sun and Dailly Mail would call this revenge for Brexit. Always whining about South americans/Europeans. Sterling is a fecking disgrace

So we’re playing against 10 men now - any chance of an attack now?

Imagine having to use the Sun and the Daily Mail to make any point.

My wit's end
Imagine this place if it was a pen awarded to Man United.

Football fans are ludicrous (apart from me), always have been.
Exactly. Everything that goes against you is an injustice. But everything that goes in your favour is excellent officiating.

What's hilarious is people pretending that this match has convinced them to start supporting Italy instead of England for the final. The biases existed before the opening whistle. And if anything, England being the superior team today should have made them England fans.

Matterface been awful. :lol:

Feck watching the final on ITV even though they've generally outperformed BBC in this tournament with pundits and co commentators.

Can understand why some people based in UK watching this on a stream hence the delayed reactions to stuff.

ENGLAND ARE SO DIFFICULT TO LIKE

and I'm English, that Walker overlap and then just turns back. I can only imagine how Guardiola would've reacted.

feck me, that had to be one of the most negative things I've seen on n the pitch.

Every England fan agrees with this, but this is what football is. You’re supposed to be biased towards your team, it’s what football is all about. Do you think if Denmark benefitted from the same thing there wouldn’t be a flood of schadenfreude from the same people up in arms right now?
Fair point.
