lol so apparently in korea some of the football forums there did the gender swap face app on frenkie de jong and ended up making a fake footballer named "frenkie angela"

for a second i nearly believed it

While we all discuss the penalty for good reason, what about this? https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/ofvohd/denmark_opener_against_england_should_not_have/

Hmmm I'm not sure about this, I've never seen this rule actually applied to the game before.
I did think it was a soft free kick (nowhere near as soft as the pen, mind). Shaw didn't wrestle him to the ground as much as he briefly grabbed his shirt in the middle of a big ol' melee of people grabbing and pushing.
Not complaining though, we got even luckier, and that free kick was quality.

Man those face swapping apps are too realistic now, god knows what actual mischief will be done in the future.

Firebolt if that had been ruled out I think I would have just left the bar and refused to watch the rest of the game haha.

Don't underestimate the home advantage...but everyone here hated England's play this game. You got 1.2 bln in transfer value on the pitch against maybe 3 PL level players that can barely run and you sub off Grealish for safety, lol.

Who in Europe supported England at the end of this match:

Yeah we should have gone for the 3-3 draw like everyone else.

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.

As if England would get any sympathy from any fans across Europe anyway.
Especially when they are winning games.

I'm certain that if they play good football they get sympathy yes. When Germany played well in earlier tournaments many Dutch got sympathy for them. If that can happen I don't see why people can't get sympathy for England.

Edit: I do think some people go too far though (in this thread as well). Doubt that it's a conspiracy by the uefa or something.

Oh poor England no one likes you buhu!
If the team actually would play well without cheap tricks, the fans would behave like normal human beings (disgusting stuff with that young german girl in the stadium as only one example) more people would cheer for England. Not biased at all but plain facts.

I still cannot get over this penalty. Let's pretend we don't know Sterling is a diver w/o any honor, but what about ref and VAR? Second ball on the field is too close to the action, ref must see it based on his positioning -.-

Is this EC semi-final for real?

Only proves he started to fall before the contact was there and its a clean dive.
He tried to fall over the legs before he even got touched.

It was a dive.
He was on his way down (ie he already made a dive) when the contact was made.
I can see why it was given but VAR should have made the ref look at it.
I don't really get how people get from that to UEFA conspiracy though lol.

Exactly. The VAR should have intervened here because he clearly dived before even being touched. The "different angle" shows this quite well.

I don't believe in a conspiracy but this is just awful refereeing. And it is also terrible uefa policy to not allow a VAR decision to overrule the ref on the field if there is any contact whatsoever. Why use VAR in the first place then? Only for offsides?

‘Twas a dive like. I imagine my slew of podcasts will actually dissect and admit that in a way that’s largely been skirted over here in the tv and papers.

It’s a little unedifying given the supposed British love of fair play, absolutely no arguments there. But I mean they’re far from alone there, the Italian extra time antics in the Austria were hardly the epitome of fair play, and I’m unsure why exactly UEFA would possibly conspire so that England of all countries could win a tournament.

That's actually the positive side of the bad side of the English fans. Thanks for their actions in the past there are plenty of laws and rules which should make this easy. Unless the EURO games were exempt from them

The one thing even more annoying than the penalty last night was seeing Denmark handicap their chances to score at every corner with that shitty strategy of crowding the goal line.

UEFA EURO 2020: England v Denmark
Last updated 07/08/2021 12:00

Disciplinary proceedings have been opened following the UEFA EURO 2020 semi-final match between England and Denmark (2-1), played on 7 July at Wembley Stadium, London.

Charges against The Football Association:
• Use of laser pointer by its supporters - Article 16(2)(d) of the UEFA Disciplinary Regulations (DR)
• Disturbance caused by its supporters during the national anthem - Article 16(2)(g) DR
• Lighting of fireworks by its supporters - Article 16(2)(c) DR

The case will be dealt with by the UEFA Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body (CEDB) in due course.

https://disciplinary.uefa.com/insideuefa/disciplinary/updates/026b-12b4954fdca9-7a91aa789872-1000--uefa-euro-2020-england-v-denmark/

UEFA finally noticed that English fans are horrible during the anthems. It took them what, 5 games to notice? Well, at least they've noticed.

Soft what? XD What is soft? There was literally no touch before he started to fall over.
Shearer, Wenger and Mourinho each said it was no penalty but what do they know.

I agree it's not a penalty. I don't think it's a deliberate dive. I think he was losing balance already when the touch came on his left leg.
