Pande was never even close to admitting that the penalty was dodgy. In fact he repeatedly argue that it should always be a penalty.
But seriously, let us leave it be and enjoy this game instead.

Way off of what he actually said but ok XD
Nothing reasonable from him except whataboutisms and saying it was a pen lol.

Think his argument was that nobody should complain about the penalty because given the game situation at that point, England would have scored anyway. But arguing with Pande about Chelsea or Engerland are a totally lost cause. Nobody should ever take his arguments seriously when they are about one of these topics :p

That was a great shot and an equally good save.

Watching in the pub over here is an interesting experience, 50% hardcore want England to win, 50% hardcore want England to lose

Pedal to the metal still, awesome to see that both teams are still chasing the win rather than setting up for penalties.
|
Its better than most OTs so far.
Still dont think it should go to pens, they always feel like a gamble.

Very tense last few minutes. Neither team wants to let this go to penalties.

Infinite overtimes but now with baby bumpers on every player except goalie :D

Most fascinating moment of the tourney right there. Sterling in the box, and actually staying on his feet :O

Honestly, I hate pens in finals for one simple reason: A deciding goal makes a player a hero. But in pens, usually it is all about some poor dude becoming the national loser.

England outrunning Italy in these final minutes. Not losing possession in 5 minutes of play.

Should be red there. He needs to thank the stars that Kuipers is too afraid to show the color he deserves in overtime of a finals.

Sometimes when Donnarumma goes out to get the ball it seems he was determined to go even before the ball was in the air. All or nothing.

German expert/ref said yellow is correct since he clearly went for the ball and also played it. Dunno.
