    Re: EURO 2020

    I wish they'd change the rule about who takes the kick. The person fouled should be the only one allowed to take the kick.

      Would love this, as it also means if you’re allowed to retake after missing due to keeper encroachment, the original taker, who was fouled, must again take.

          I’m salty at the existence of the England national team and the overwhelming sense of something being owed to them. The hardest part about watching English football is when internationals roll around.

          Unbearable.

          Forza Italia.

            Wasn’t a penalty.

              I tend to agree with you; however, after the penalty award to Mbappe in the group stage, it showed consistency. Raheem Sterling deserved a goal in that game the way he was playing. Overall, he's had a pretty good tournament in my view. I still don't understand why people are so infatuated with Harry Kane...he's lazy. I'd much rather see Sancho up there being flanked by Sterling and Grealish.

                Semifinal of a European championship and they don’t even give the referee to review his decision that decided the game.

                    Definitely a soft penalty but I feel the challenge on Harry Kane by Mæhle could of been a foul. I also felt like the foul given before that Danmark goal was soft and then you had the Danmarks 3 man wall slide over to Englands wall to block Pickford's view just before the ball was struck. I heard the commentator mention it briefly as it seemed like a few players had complained about it.

                    Regardless of all that I do feel like the better team went through as Englands defence has been impressive this tournament. No goals allowed in open play and only 1 scored against them in route to the final is not easy feat regardless of opposition and Sterling along with Walker and Kalvin Phillips have been great. I still favour Italy to win it all but hats off to this England team

                      Yeah I don't think it was a penalty either but I also thought the earlier one on Kane should have been called. It's hard on Schmeichel but he should have held onto the first PK shot by Kane. You'd expect a keeper of his size and stature to smother that shot and not allow a rebound.


                      Sterling will never get the credit he deserves but his football intelligence is pretty high. He makes some great runs off the ball to put himself in position for tap-ins. It's a shame he's so poor technique-wise.

                      @Cod - I wouldn't call Kane lazy. He's just physically run down right now. He's still playing fairly well though. It was his ball to Saka that unlocked Denmark for the equalizer.

                        I constantly forget that he's 26. He's been around for so long, so I'm always reminding myself how young he is.

                          Yeah same Kreb.

                          I always will remember Brendan Rodgers yelling at him and Shelvey in that Liverpool documentary from years ago lol.

                            Their overwhelming response to pointing out that the penalty was an obvious dive has been "Yeah, well Italy does it more"

                            So, while I find this all mostly amusing, you may be right.

                              I think its funny people seem to think UEFA is going to do something about the "laser in the eyes" thing. Also watching the footage, it doesn't seem like it effected him at all really. He doesn't seem to be aware of anything but the PK taker.

                                Personally, I’m hoping Italy dives their way to the trophy. Like nothing we’ve ever seen before.

                                We know they have it in them.
