If Denmark won that game it would have been a travesty. They were fecking shit and lucky it wasn’t a landslide

Eh. You can’t expect England fans not to be happy because the ref made a wrong decision.
Never a pen, anyone who says otherwise is not objective. Sterling is a cheat.
Don't forget when Frank scored in the game Germany ripped them apart in.
At the very least can the absurd idea that 'English football' is about 'ard guys and tough tacklin' just die. PL is rampant with diving and sterling has cheated for his entire career.
I can't even fathom what would happen had a dane won that pen. The crowd was livid about Schmeichels joke!
I thought the foul on Kane was a pen. So i guess all in all its not that bad.
This has to be the worse ever, so bad and so costly. Henry lost a lot of respect that day.
No-one’s wrong is something we all have to come to realise with VAR, so many this tournament where it seems 50/50 on the opinions.
The defender is daft as feck, nowhere near the ball and hits Sterling’s knee.
Call it soft if you want, but I’d have been fuming with Walker if he’d have made the same idiot challenge. You simply don’t do that in the box.
Yup, you can complain about refereeing, you can't complain about other teams cheating.
An absolute cheat Sterling is...luckily enough he doesn't have the talent of a Maradona because no-one will remember him bar a few English pissheads
Agreed. Other way around and I would be fuming.
It’s all this bollox about “Danes can’t complain, they didn’t deserve to win”. They lost by a single unfair goal. In 1982 England ended up losing by two goals and their fans/journos/pundits still won’t shut up about Maradonna’s handball. Sterling’s dive fully deserves to be equally infamous. Arguably more so, considering there was VAR involved.
Two players jumped in front of him, one dangled a foot to unbalance him and the other ran into his thigh. Go to a park with 2 mates and try to run that fast with those two things happening and see what the result is.
Ridiculous thread.
Ridiculous thread.
He really hates UEFA from not getting the final i guess.
Who even needs a specific reason.
Are you saying the Kane denied penalty was a dive?
Detest it all you want, the best team took the victory.
Lampard vs Germany was completely different, it was an egregious era. Black and white. Although they were good value for their win overall.Yep, and I'm sure you just happily dealt with it and admitted the right side won when Drogba's offside goal won the league, or Scholes vs Porto, or Lampard vs Germany etc etc
Stone wall pen, get a life you bunch of sad sacks
final here we come!
final here we come!
The Irish in shambles tonight.
Same. Make up call.
What happened in 1982? I'm an England fan and I genuinely can't remember any sort of incident, let alone something that people "won't shut up about".
Yep, was a dive. Can't pretend I'm not delighted for us to be through but I do feel for the Danes. Reckon we deserved the win but not like that. Still, I'll take it (sorry CafDanes).
It's amazing, really.Yes, of course it's completely different, it went against England.
The agony and misery is always worse when you awake the morning after. SER19 still has the worst to come 
.
.Some England fans are insufferable
All this bitterness and cry more talk just because it’s pointed out that was a clear dive. And xg to defend it, great stuff

Denmark were trying to run the clock down from the 60 minute mark. Didn't deserve anything from the game anyway.
I do hope the English will take it in good grace if the Italians shithouse their way to a win on a Sunday.
He said he didn't care it was a ropey decision.
No, a ball crossing a line by 600mm is not open to any sort of interpretation.Yes, of course it's completely different, it went against England.
England fans can and should be happy though. A trophy is near and in the end that's what will matter to them.
I'm 34, not 'nearly 40', OK?
Those types are just kids though. No point getting wound up by it.Some England fans are insufferable

Haha feck off
The pen wasn't even the worst ref decision in this game FFS! England would've been 1-0 up after 2 minutes had the ref given the backpass. Mount deffo would've scored from that.
I mean it wasn't a penalty IMO but I think people need to stop with the hyperbole...
Agree. It shouldn't be a penalty.
The minimal contact only matters in terms of VAR overturning it, because when they're instructed to barely ever intervene they essentially end up only overturning incidents like that if the ref got something factually incorrect, like if there was no contact at all when he thought there was.
Which is stupid, because it means they end up letting decisions they know they wouldn't give stand. They're too afraid of delaying things by intervening but if you're gonna have VAR it's stupid to have it as a half-measure. Let them refer it to the ref to look at and people can just suck up the delay.
Chiellini is already annoying me and the game won't start for a few days.
What about the Kane pen incident?
As we've learnt with Gerrard and Rooney, it's not diving when England do it.
Not wound up, it’s funny to see the fans of a winning team getting to a final too busy melting down with excuses and being extremely touchy about it. Surely they should be a little happier
What? How is that how they use it?
Special treatment, see the before 15 doubtful freekicks
