Re: EUROS thread. The semi finals

Poor with 3 goals though, could won golden boot .

Carrying an injury, is a bit like Bale at the end of his Welsh career he was always going to be picked .
Kane is a tallysman captain , massive experience in tournaments, he is always doubled up by defenders , inspiration to young squad playaers , oppositions fear him .

You never fail to amuse me:hehe:

Re: EUROS thread. The semi finals

Spain far superior in every department.

Though I fear England's name is on it after that awful display by the officials.

Will be a cracking final. Football for the win.

Yes two very different sides, think England seem to be in a never give up groove in this tournament.

It's most definitely coming home.

Re: EUROS thread. The semi finals

Holland won the last two knockout games scoring five in 90 minutes.

England drew both their games teams scoring two goals.

They needed extra time twice and penalties once, all those extra minutes will take their toll and they will be leggy and burnt out, Holland should win comfortably, as the games come quick and fast.

Football. Not quite as straightforward as some would have you believe…

Not as bad as other decesions.

The defender showed his studs.
Was high on his ankle.
Didnt touch the ball .
If it was outside the box you give them all day game after game .

Re: EUROS thread. The semi finals

Pundit defender says no penalty. Pundit striker says penalty. I must admit that I'm with Wrighty on this one. If that's a foul outside the box then it's a penalty inside. We say so often when it's Cardiff or Wales. I find the football's so much more enjoyable though when I don't care who wins.

That's the first (And probably last) time anyone has ever said that to LOM.

Do you think if the tackle was made elsewhere its a foul???


You see them given quite often , this one however is contentious because its a semi final , in the penalty box , its England and Kane, judges simply asked referee to review his decesion???.

Re: EUROS thread. The semi finals

for me, if that was against any team I supported I wouldnt be happy at all, Kanes shot gets away, the defender has every right to go for the ball, Kane leg follows through from the strike, the defender has committed to the challenge and it doesnt have any malice in it, both boots collide

we are slowly losing sight of the fact that football is a physical game and contact is made at times

England: It's coming home.
Football: Where the **** am I? The weather is awful.

Win some, lose some. We are also losing sight of the fact that officials get things wrong (If indeed it was wrong, i only watched the 2nd half) It's football.

yea humans get things wrong, thats fine

but we have VAR now, so we can have a number of officials making the decision ( or should be )

Re: EUROS thread. The semi finals

Looks written in the stars for England, given how this tournament has gone Spain will be a no show and England will get a 1-0 win from an absolute borefest.
