Denmark made England work for it but they hardly created any decent chances.
Well, going by reports his heart stopped beating and he had to be resuscitated. So I suppose he factually did die.A man nearly died on the pitch and they were robbed over a dive to get them into the final...
Football eh? Bloody hell
It's not me you need to break it to.Don’t know whether I should break it to you but....
The game was petering out and heading to penalties, which would’ve been a fair conclusion to that game. The ref not going to the monitor to double check that penalty decision is inexplicable to me. I’m convinced that if he had, he would’ve reversed his decision.What were they robbed of exactly?
Erm, not really though. England had total control in extra time especially before the pen.The game was petering out and heading to penalties
Reaching really with that. The better team won with the Danes seemingly settling for not playing any kind of football from the 60 minute mark.The game was petering out and heading to penalties, which would’ve been a fair conclusion to that game. The ref not going to the monitor to double check that penalty decision is inexplicable to me. I’m convinced that if he had, he would’ve reversed his decision.
So they were robbed of a chance to make it to penalties, which I would’ve made them slight favourites for over England who are historically terrible at penalties and have a short keeper with small stubs for arms.
People kept going on and on about Spain having control and not looking like scoring. England did a lot of that today. It counts now?Erm, not really though. England had total control in extra time especially before the pen.
They didn't create any really. Kasper was their best player. His save from Maguire's header was absolutely superb. The one from Sterling in the first half he didn't know much about but he definitely kept them in the game.Denmark made England work for it but they hardly created any decent chances.
Only in your contorted view.People kept going on and on about Spain having control and not looking like scoring. England did a lot of that today. It counts now?

England were dangerous from set pieces, which is expected but beyond that, they didn’t create any big chances.Only in your contorted view.
The only one was going to win it. Only one team created good enough chances to win it and that wasn't the Danes
Commiserations mate, you played exceptionally well tonight and have been probably the most entertaining team of the tournament. I feel Danish football has already turned a corner, having such an array of tallanted young and emerging players who will without doubt, go on to achieve every success in future tournaments.What can you say? We were clearly second best in both quality and energy levels, but still managed to make a game out of it.
I would much have preferred to lose to a quality goal though. Somehow losing to the rebound of a really soft penalty just makes it so much worse.
All in all, the team has done us proud. Great tournament from the lads. Just need to keep our heads high, because this team should qualify and make it out of the group stage in the next World Cup.
What chances did Denmark have to be out of sight by half time?England were dangerous from set pieces, which is expected but beyond that, they didn’t create any big chances.
It is what it is, Denmark should’ve been out of sight by halftime. They played really well up to that point and Pickford was very shaky. It’s a shame they didn’t test him more.

I take it you're not a brexiteer / pro "England should take more asyl-citiziens" with those comments.Delighted, country that voted to move their asylum process to Africa just a few weeks back, country that declared parts of Syria safe just so they can send back asylum seekers.
Feck em.
oh, and they were crap tonight, lost as many games as they won in the tournament 3v3, not worthy finalists.
An England goal in extra time was almost inevitable- Denmark were physically fecked and had no answer to England’s attacking threat. If we didn’t score at that moment, it would have been all England in the second half of extra time until we scored.Erm, not really though. England had total control in extra time especially before the pen.

Nah dude I'm English born and bred, ironically named Paddy cause my dad's Irish. I just don't like over reaction to certain players being failures.I thought you were an Argie looking at some of your posts on Man,. City thread and the Argentina in crisis threads that pop up in last few years...shocked with all this England love.
He's SwedishI take it you're not a brexiteer / pro "England should take more asyl-citiziens" with those comments.
If that's your stand: Would you also want anyone to generalise you as a british person call you a brexiteer albeit almost half of England not being one? You seem extremely generalizing, because you want to prove a point in football-matters. Many danes are neither for this, so please treat others the way you'd like to be treated yourself.
I think every country should do more for asylum seekers. I think Denmark’s asylum and immigration politics are a disgrace.I take it you're not a brexiteer / pro "England should take more asyl-citiziens" with those comments.

No I’m not.He's Swedish
That Kane incident was such a blatant foul by him, please stop talking about that.Fans using the unfortunate Eriksen incident as some sort of given right that everything should go Denmark’s way is disgraceful and disrespectful to the man himself. They qualified from the group having lost two games, they played some decent football and got to the semi. Scored a free kick that the keeper should’ve saved and didn’t do much else. Moan about the penalty but conveniently forget an absolutely blatant back pass in the first two minutes which was completely ignored, plus a penalty that could’ve been for Kane in addition to a few more missed chances. England were the better team and deserved to progress.
It is pretty sad to be honest. All this talk about us being sore losers, but the Englishmen are incredibly bad winners. Truth probably being somewhere in between.The gloating on this thread is cringeworthy. The CAF has always been my go place to place because the level of discussion was always more sophisticated than in most social media, but I guess I’ll put it on hold until normal United football is back on the menu.
Carry on.
Can't believe the amount of people talking about that Kane penalty. Such a blatant foul from Kane, you'd have to be deluded not to see it. Also haven't watched the foul for our goal that they're complaining about. It looked clear as day on first watch.It is pretty sad to be honest. All this talk about us being sore losers, but the Englishmen are incredibly bad winners. Truth probably being somewhere in between.
Anyway after a rough sleep still super proud of what we achieved. Did we deserve to win? probably not, but we did absolutely not deserve to lose to a dive like that after fighting for 110+ minutes. The levels of justifications they go through to justify the dive is ridiculous. "Kane was fouled earlier" no he was not. "Christensen was fouled in the build up to the first goal" 50/50 aerial duel half way up the pitch, only the most mental would align that the same as an ET pen.
At least we have the balls to admit you guys deserved to win, now we're awaiting you guys having the balls to admit it was a dive
This pretty much sums it up. Didn’t expect so much people would call it a pen the day after. If Sterling did this for City against United imagine this place.It is pretty sad to be honest. All this talk about us being sore losers, but the Englishmen are incredibly bad winners. Truth probably being somewhere in between.

So only nations whose policies live up to your high moral standards are allowed to do well in sports? What a bizarre take. I'm guessing you will be quite busy invalidating Olympic medals in a couple of weeks.Delighted, country that voted to move their asylum process to Africa just a few weeks back, country that declared parts of Syria safe just so they can send back asylum seekers.
Feck em.

No, that wasn’t my point at all.So only nations whose policies live up to your high moral standards are allowed to do well in sports?
The team was on its knees. Constantly stopping and going down. They were knackered.Some weird decisions by the Danish manager. Damsgaard and Dolberg were the most dangerous attackers and Braithwaite was awful. Were they knackered or injured or something?
Fair enough. I don't really understand mixing politics with sports at that level, but to each their own I guess.No, that wasn’t my point at all.
And Denmark did do well, very well.
But their recent scummy politics has me in a “feck em” moment, no sympathy from me.
He has been trolling around in all threads about DK since the Wales game I think, no need to waste your energyFair enough. I don't really understand mixing politics with sports at that level, but to each their own I guess.
Hate to break it to you but the Danish armed forces also contributed to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as the air strikes on Libya.Nice.
They lost a country very well known for interfering politically in another territories, and pairing with United States to bomb the Middle East and create refugees, and on top of that selling military weapons to Saudi Arabia.
I guess the cleaner country won.
I hope the cleaner country wins on Sunday, it has to be England.
Is there a video of the Kane incident? Having seen it live I thought it was a pen but watching the brief highlights I can see a foul by Kane but I'd like to see it in detail.That Kane incident was such a blatant foul by him, please stop talking about that.
England had the referee on their side throughout the game and I think it's beyond cheap to decide a Euro semifinal with such a soft penalty. Still, England were well on top, deserved to win and probably would have scored regardless of the penalty.
I quite enjoyed his whataboutism, completely ignoring how scummy those asylum policies are, because “another country did something bad also”, erm no shit.Hate to break it to you but the Danish armed forces also contributed to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as the air strikes on Libya.
There isn't a single nation in the world that doesn't have 'scummy politics' so please leave that nonsense out of the this thread. Denmark have had a great tournament, but they deserved to lose last night.No, that wasn’t my point at all.
And Denmark did do well, very well.

As we all know England is a beacon of humane politics. Shocking post.Delighted, country that voted to move their asylum process to Africa just a few weeks back, country that declared parts of Syria safe just so they can send back asylum seekers.
