EUROS FINAL. FT: ENGLAND 1 - 2 SPAIN

Re: EUROS thread. The semi finals

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.

I've only seen it once or twice. But to me, the ball came to Kane, he took a shot, skied it, and then followed through onto Dumfies' outstretched leg. I don't see how it could be a penalty. Kane wasn't impeded, he took his shot and missed it.

I'll take your judgement on it :thumbup:

I think the officials’ logic was that Dumfries had his studs up and it was therefore dangerous play. Not a penalty in my book, although if the same incident had happened anywhere else on the field and a free kick had been awarded, I doubt anyone would have objected.

Re: EUROS thread. The semi finals

I thought Dumfries had every right to go for it the way he did. Kane rolled around squealing, then miraculously got up and scored a perfect penalty.

I think England deserved to go through overall.

Re: EUROS FINAL. ENGLAND v SPAIN

Never a penalty in a million years before the introduction of VAR, but, from the first replay I saw, I thought it was always going to be given.

I didn’t see much of the match because I was watching City, but I agree that England were the better team based on what I did watch.

Looks like England are set to do a Greece.

Re: EUROS FINAL. ENGLAND v SPAIN

Anywhere else on the pitch that would have been a free kick to the Netherlands. Maybe if Dumfries had stayed down the same way that Kane did it may have been seen differently, but then England fans would have accused the ref of being corrupt.
There was no clear and obvious error, so it shouldn't have been given.

Re: EUROS FINAL. ENGLAND v SPAIN

The Dutch media, fans etc pointing out that Saka played the ball with his hand before the ball dropped to Kane.

I didn't see it at the time but VAR is a nonsense if it looks at one alleged foul and not another.

England deserved to win and it was a great strike from Watkins.

Fair play, that’s funny. And totally ridiculous.

Re: EUROS FINAL. ENGLAND v SPAIN

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.

Unfortunately I’ve had a sinking feeling this would be the outcome since Bellingham pulled that strike out his arse against Slovakia.

England peaking at the right time and Spain not quite hitting the heights as consistently as they were earlier in the tournament, I can see the 88th minute 1-0 winner now.

When are they announcing it’s a “Bank Holiday” on Monday ?

PS:——- they wanted him sacked last week, when their corner kick ended up back with Prickford (no, I have spelt it right):hehe:

Re: EUROS thread. The semi finals

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 )

:thumbup:var has ruined it, the ref shits out when they are called to watch it on the monitor every time i cant remember one thats stuck with original call, should be used for offside only

Re: EUROS thread. The semi finals

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 .
