Euro 2024

[Rich]

Never, ever a penalty.

[kingfunk]

Softest pen I’ve seen in a while that.

[fidget]

That was some penalty considering he'd just broken his foot.

[slaine]

Never, ever a penalty.

It kinda was... soft though

[Kenneth]

Although I’m habitually contrary, I do think that’s a penalty. Studs showing, nothing of the ball and potentially dangerous. We’ve seen a lot softer contacts given this year.

[slaine]

will still a Netherlands win... they have players that can actually score... we have players that can pass backwards..

[slaine]

wow... strange times.. I actually agree with you kenneth...

[chadrtc]

England absolutely dominating this, surprisingly.

[slaine]

kane is still a passenger...

[chadrtc]

Holland doing their best impression of England from every other game than tonight.

[Kenneth]

kane is still a passenger...

Yep. If they had another runner up top instead I think the Dutch would poo their pants.

I’ve watched all of the Dutch games and they’ve scored a lot but in general play they’ve blown pretty hot and cold, and have had plenty of chances wasted for each they’ve scored. They probably won’t get many in this game so need to be clinical, or exploit Pickford’s baby arms like with the goal, which was saveable.

Nah, his follow through hits the defenders foot. What’s he supposed to do? Let him tap it in?

We’ve lost sight of why pens exist.

Only you and Wrighty giving that one

England playing well, the Dutch occasionally look dangerous.

Liking this love in... a real striker might actualloy score...

[Mark79]

One of those that you can convince yourself that it might be a pen when you watch the slo-mo replay over and over.

But never a pen when you see it again in real time.

Weird that Var got involved though. What happened to clear and obvious?

[Kenneth]

I still disagree. It was given for being dangerous play, foot up, studs showing, not getting the ball. At the start of last season we saw red cards for **** like that, now it’s a yellow and a foul, which seems about right.

Anyway, was rice fouled in the build up to their goal?
