England went for defensive play against 10 Danes who were so tired they weren't going to score in a million years. I guess it worked but don't expect any sympathy from neutral fans for that kind of play. | ||

Stopping shots is part of football too. The extra time xg is meaningless since England's jump in xg came fom the penalty and follow-up. Which also highlights a flaw of xg; England would have had a lower xg if Kane scored the penalty directly. | ||

Sad but true  (well, sad if you're from the islands :D) It's one of my favorite sport paradox. The country where the football was born has in many betting agencies lower chance to win a world cup title than the chance of alien landing actually happening (the last time I checked China had 1:2 500 while alien landing was 1:2 000 )I like the Three lions song, why not, but I like nitpicking on this as well when English fans are footballing coming homing  ANother classy thing, why am I surprised. But considering the UK laws catching the idiot should be easy, or...? What next, the Mayans invented cricket? | ||

I think Italy are currently a better side than Spain, but I think they’re a better matchup for England going in the final. Can’t see it being anything other than a tight, nervy affair either way! | ||

Italy playing way better but fail to score. England gets another free penalty/ other stupid ref decision and win. English fans be like "we were better, we deserved it" I wouldn't even be mad if England would truly display some good games. I hope Brych is Ref for the finals. He hates diving and both side are pretty good divers | ||

The video’s emergence this week has caused a huge controversy at Barcelona, not simply for the accusations that Dembele’s comments were racist (and that Griezmann was complicit with his laughter) but also because Barcelona’s biggest sponsor is Rakuten, the Japanese auction and retail giant. https://kotaku.com/konami-fires-soccer-star-after-racism-controversy-1847248826 Ah now I know why France lost. They missed their racist buddy Dembele. | ||

In the same way the penalty was given against Croatia in the WC final felt wrong to me, even if perhaps technically correct according to the laws. I think Italy are currently a better side than Spain, but I think they’re a better matchup for England going in the final. Can’t see it being anything other than a tight, nervy affair either way! I don't think the penalty was even technically correct. De VAR should've intervened imo. | ||

Well, technically speaking the first football like game comes from Aztecs So they may have. But I have no idea as I don't care about weird sports like crickets. The first ball game we have records of which reminds football comes from China. Deal with it, Brits.Yes, modern football comes from England. Note the part MODERN football. The game itself has much bigger history than just codification of rules and the first professional league. Edit> It is a competitive game that involves kicking a ball through an opening into a net. The use of hands is not allowed. I wonder about what game am I writing. (Cuju FYI) On July 08 2021 18:16 Jockmcplop wrote: As if England would get any sympathy from any fans across Europe anyway.

Getting unfair penalty which every fan of England sees as a fair play. And so on. | ||

It's like when Flash was playing SC2, his fans were so annoying I couldn't support him on any level. Same with JD, those were even worse. IMO. When choosing between Italy and England I like the English style more. But support them means being an English fan, ewww. | ||

Eh maybe this is true, because my perspective is biased, but going off these football threads people do seem to have a certain dislike for the English - whether this is just football related or not I don't know. It was present long before the Denmark game. | ||

If they park the bus and get a lucky penalty, hell no. Italy has won enough in the last years so I am even leaning a bit towards the English side | ||

Having said that they aren't a particularly exciting team, whereas Italy play fast football and have more quality in certain areas, so I do expect England to keep the game as slow as possible if they are the ones who manage to assert themselves. If the game is very fast and exciting we will probably lose, if its slow with alot of passing around then it could go either way. | ||
