Cheating is cheating. Tarnished the tournament which has been so good
You're utterly pathetic. Take a shower. Get a new hobby.
Historical moments of cheating | With a super-sized portion of salt
- Thread starter SER19
- Start date
England heroically cheating and fluking their way to the final.
With the blatant dive, missed penalty and bundled in rebound, they managed the Stevie Starfish and Xabi Alonso in Istanbul trifecta. Lads, you're Liverpool.

In such a high stakes match, he absolutely should have gone to look to be sure. The VAR obviously had no doubt. Unbelievable.
That wasn't really "cheating" though. He just booted someone up the arse!
No team can claim to be hard done by in this context

It literally means that if they play like that they'll score 1 goal in every four games.
Anyone who genuinely thinks thats a pen is smoking something 
Don't care though. Cheating is now a staple part of football... Its time we stop whinging about it

I know that fans and pundits have a weird obsession with “contact” but surely the officials are above that nonsense?
If I fling myself on the ground in the box, brushing my leg off a defender on the way down then there is definite contact. This doesn’t make it a foul.
Expected goals
christ. Let's dig one out for 1986 and put that game to bed.Ah, you were the stronger side so you're allowed to cheat and don't actually have to score goals. Nevermind then, as you were.
Cheating is but var missing it and a second ball interfering with play is amateur hourAnyone who genuinely thinks thats a pen is smoking something

It wasnt a clear dive in my opinion and i am Irish. There was connection. But at the same time it could easily not have been given.
We also cheated to beat you in 66. Cry.
Personally I thought the Kane incident was a penalty. Fact is that by far the best team won. You can run all the bullshit that you want but facts are facts
it was soft but I thought it was a pen

It is so pathetic that people has to bring up expected goals to defend such a screw job. Will always have a * to their name in this Euros, but its still not a remedy to the Danes
Clear dive and very very soft pen to give. England deserved to win but not like that
xG don’t decide games. The game was won by a single goal. So nothing you’re saying is relevant here.
Second ball is stationary and in no way interfering with play.
But the dive....can't fecking believe var has given that as a pen.
Danes have been diving themselves. Damsgaard probably worst in the tournament in group stage.
I detest this kind of argument. The game was 1-1. The penalty was blatantly wrong. Hence, they were hard done by. You can shove your xG stats elsewhere.
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
Guess fifa was scared that they wouldn't sell tickets to the final....
If Rashford did this for United in a Champions League semi, would this thread have been made.

So many bitter guys around here. Glad we see a great final, Denmark would have lost from the start.
Very soft pen, but that is how they use it in the tournament

Also bear in mind that many England fans and journalists are still bitter about Maradonna’s hand ball. Nearly 40 years after it happened. A goal which didn’t decide the game.
Changed his mind now Eriksson the wimp, worried his Danish mates might be angry with him.
Loving the bitterness tonight.
You can guarantee that if it was Wales or Scotland in the same situation, it would have been an incredible penalty etc.
In the final, and it feels good

Same here. I think it could easily have been waved on. But there was connection.
And he was rightly shown a yellow.
Yup, wrote that above. Being a wimp now, showing his bitterness against UEFA innit.
By sunday it will be forgotten about. Life goes on.
It was one of the softest penalties I’ve seen and would be annoyed if it went against us. It’s pretty typical of players to go down in that situation with the slightest of touches at the highest level, Sterling will claim that it was enough to bring him down.
However, VAR wouldn’t over rule that, there was contact so wouldn’t be deemed a clear error.

There is always someone making this kinda threads. Even in the biggest Utd wins, there would always be someone doing it.
This is the Caf after all
He’s right and you’re wrong though. You really need to watch more replays.
