Frankly, who cares. It's not United playing. But it's United players enjoying the spoils of victory. Was a soft pen, but it was a pen.
Semi-Finals: Italy vs Spain | England vs Denmark
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Is that the longest David Baddiel has been on a football related ITV show without donning blackface?
Those last 5 minutes have to be one of the best times I have ever seen a team kill a game completely without needing to dive or roll on the pitch in a pathetic way. England just kept the ball and completely prevented Denmark from getting it.
Best team won. Not sure why Denmark decided to park the bus starting from second half and stop playing football, defending the 1-1 up till the pen, when they were playing well in the first half. Shit tactical decision.
Gonna be a cracking final.

Yeah it was mental. Frustrating that they didn't just kill the game with a third.
This is fecking mad.
A far cry from the days of stinking it up against the likes of Romania and Costa Rica.
A bit soft, that pen, but congrats to England
Thought England did enough in the game to get the win. But, it was difficult. Decided by an own goal and a rebound off a questionable penalty. Things will have to change for the final.
Great to get there, though. Huge step.

Really happy for Southgate. This game is a mirror image of the Croatia semi final loss in 2018. We went a goal up through a direct free kick, then lost 2-1 in extra time. You can tell what it means to him now we’ve gone one further.
Deserved win on the balance. Denmark had a great first half.
You don’t understand how VAR works in the Euros. They only overturn if they absolutely can not support his decision. In reality that never happens as there is always a slight contact. That’s why they haven’t overturned any decisions at all in the Euros.
Domination has nothing to do with it. Diving is diving and it is sad to watch. I wanted England in the final before this game but now it just feels wrong.
Anyway. The best teams of the tournament will be that the final... cracking game on sunday!
Seething!All those backing Italy, well didn’t Italy get outplayed, then played for pens after getting off with a clear hand ball in the box in the last minute?
Sweet Caroline bum bum bum
Fully fully deserved. Better team by an absolute mile. Southgate is doing things his way and we're in the fecking final.
I feel for the Danes for sure, but think you need to calm down. There was minimal contact but they're given these days often. Hardly as controversial as a blatant handball.
England by far the better team out there. Denmark just ran out of steam after a great run. They had a fantastic tournament and can be proud. I think England have enough quality in the final third to win the final. Comes down to if their midfield can contain the Italians though. I think they will. For as much shit as Rice/Phillips got this tournament I think Italy is the perfect team for that midfield.
Consider yourself lucky - you do not want this clip
I just wanna see what the outcry is about Thank you sir!
Curiosity getting the better of me
England was by far the better team and deserved to win. However, that was a dive. The referee should be banned from big competitions forever. Mistakes exist, but with VAR there is no need to make such big mistakes, just go and fecking check it.
The final would be interesting. I have Italy as slight favorites, but Wembley will give to England a huge boost. Nevertheless, the best two teams in the competition reached the final, which is something that doesn't happen very often.

Favourite thing of the tournament is how England fans were crying at anyone who dared mock them singing it’s coming home song, defending it by saying it’s ironic, untill it’s not
oh and not forgetting all the diving, well played and deserved.

Congratulations to England. They were the only team trying to win in ET and it's the final I wanted to see.
But my heart goes out to Denmark. The resiliency they showed throughout the tournament after the horrible incident in their opening game and then to lose to what is, at best, a soft penalty is heartbreaking.

Anyone else notice Sterling's calf is caught for the pen? He was going down, anyway though.
Don't get me wrong, I don't think it should have been given, but I can understand why VAR would not overturn.

There's an extra football on the pitch when they scored?
What is the rules anymore?

Itv player just died. Don't care. It's coming home.
People moaning about the pen when they scored from that free kick. Honestly feck off!
Ya but just in the groups.
England legit played the whole tournament at wembley and even Italy played games at wembley.
England was clearly the host nation and they sprinkled some other venues for kicks.
Good times never felt so gooooood!
Outrageous and unnecessary.
Was rooting for Luke but feck that shit, Denmark didn't deserve to lose to THAT.
As said, looking forward to seeing how quickly it gets brushed under the carpet. Hypocrites.

How do you know they would have won?
I guess Henry hand against Ireland was OK, because France was being superior, so the would have won anyway
What a dumb excuse, seriously.
You mean corruption? I dunno if you can do it.
If it means bitterness then I'm not even Danish.
Will be Euro with and asteriks if you win it pal, no problem though.
Exactly this.
Second football on the pitch as well. Jesus, the linesman also fecked up.
Arise Sir Gavin Southpark.
Whats with the singing and celebrations.
Na na, na na na na, hey hey, goodbye!
Think we can win it on Sunday
Can't believe we're in a final we're England, this doesn't happen.
we're England, this doesn't happen.Get in England! Commiserations to Denmark, they’ve been a credit to the tournament and to themselves and they fought hard tonight. But big well done to the team tonight, we were under pressure after going behind and pulled through and Kane came through under immense pressure too, that might be the most important penalty he will ever take!
Whatever happens now, let’s get ourselves focused and prepared, we must not leave on Sunday with any regrets.

Think the referee is supposed to stop the game in that situation.
