Semifinal: England v Denmark (in London, UK)

[Aritro]

I'd back this England team to comfortably overwhelm anyone in a Wembley final other than Mancini's Italians. They look like they're on a mission.

One thing's for sure, it'll be a boring as **** stalemate with both teams playing antifootball. The Italians will have the advantage as they're more adept at creating chances while playing like that.

It's actually incredible how different the Poms look with Grealish on the pitch.

 

[Aritro]

This English team is a lot more likeable than their mid 00s team and wouldn't have minded them winning that penalty against Italy or Spain at all but it's brutal for an underdog Denmark.

Yep, this is pretty much my outlook on it.

I'm sort of glad it was an oggy and a dodgy pen, feels a much more English way of winning.

I don't think there's too much argument that the better team won, but, man I'd be ****ing savage if I was Danish.

The pen felt like a good, old fashioned evener. Kane should've had one, so the ref (who I thought was awful and it's been a good tournament for the officials) righted the ledger.

VAR needs sorting though. The "clear and obvious" weasel wording should go. Either use the technology properly or don't bother.

Today two wrongs made a right, but it shouldn't be like that.

Honestly Italy play the antithesis of anti-football, it's really odd how these stereotypes persist whilst it's clearly wrong, or maybe not odd, and a reason where we are where we are as a civilization. Bit deep, I've clearly drunk too much.

Wow David Beckham has really let himself go

We need a word for that. Maybe antiantifootball.

They've been pretty good to watch to be fair.

Morning all. There's a bandwagon pulling into platform 3 and I've got a first class ticket........out of my way *****

I'll probably have a look at the final though. Tough one for the Australian followers after 2006 and Italy, up against the natural hatred for England.

Are you serious ? Think the majority of Australians will root for Azzurri over England regardless of the Fabio Grosso ‘dive’. Poms will most likely win though.

if it wasn’t for the lockdown Norton st leichardt would have been fun on Sunday.

Are you serious? Nobody who saw it forgets that dive lol. Like everyone I know will be going for England. Also they're quite sympathetic in football, the whole it's coming home stuff, how unlucky they've been at times. Hand of God, Lampards disallowed goal against Germany

 

[Burgey]

They always bang on about the hand of god goal, conveniently ignoring the same bloke ran through their entire side like he was playing against a set of traffic cones.

they’ve certainly improved since Mike Bassett took over, though

Second goal came after the first though. And it finished 2-1. Try harder

 

[Burgey]

Second goals usually do come after the first, so this isn't really a revelation on your part.

I thought everyone agreed the Grosso one was a pen. Has the news still not reached Australia?

 

[Burgey]

Never a penalty. Disgraceful decision.

Everyone who actually knew anything about football did at the time. The only people who didn't were people from countries with no culture.
