*** Italy v Spain & England v Denmark - Euro Semi Finals 2021 ***

i dont expect anythong else from a scotsman, if they wasnt bitter at english success, they wouldnt be scottish

Lets hope UEFA sort out a Russian Lino for Sunday

Denmark were pretty  negative bar the last 10 mins

Italy v England hopefully a cracker ,
Italy v Denmark , ain't so exciting

They needed to dive tonight to win the match

Hopefully they don't get away with it on Sunday

never a pen  ... Sterling terrible dive  although he played superbly tonight

there are many who wish ill on england in many forms and we see it daily  -  why wouldn't you support your country or is it THEIR country?   You see it every where  - this negativity towards our own place - our own place where we live.

Keane : " Gareth is nasty enough to make those decisions " ???

clear penalty in fact two clear penalties
hope this helps

Clear pen, all day, 100% certainty.

Laser pen ....idiots !

Cowards, and rats.

Pen or not... the final reads: ENGLAND V ITALY

50yrs down the line, no one will remember that moment, just the result of the final

Nah, not in the slightest anti- English  (as they say, some of my best friends......).  Anti-British I most certainly am.  Not the same thing at all. When we are independent I might be more neighbourly about it.

Sill no real answer as to why people think Scotland would support England in the first place.

E.g. some on this thread ranting about "traitors"......  Traitors to what exactly.

Anyway, enough of that. Tired.

Ciao

the medal and trophy says winners,nothing else

I'd have to agree to disagree on some  Wolf -
I've watched football since 1980 and the club football on a European platform was far worse than now as was the international stuff whilst England were naïve in comparison ...I don't like Var killing the joy of goals but it's inevitable and will get better at least...handball totally agree

flower clearly anti english  - it just proves my point  as with several others -  just go back to your own place and sulk
we won and it will be an interesting final against Italy who are good but only scraped through on penalties

Great Danes did well maybe  attack more ,don't  sit back or pay the price !


Black dives matter

might be mentioned, but the fact they won it, we still marvel at their brillance elisjohn - Maradona one of the greatest ever seen

1966 semi final

England 2 Portugal 1
B charlton 2...eusebio (pen)


Nobody remembers semis!

I suspect your love of the modern game may be due to your team being in the prem for the first time ever Brentford, after x number of pens are given against an unfashionable club next season in the league you may change your stance somewhat

England should have killed it off in extra time, they was a pass away from being clean through for a one on one with the goalkeeper. Still they kept it for a lifetime

Nah, not in the slightest anti- English  (as they say, some of my best friends......Grin).  Anti-British I most certainly am.  Not the same thing at all. When we are independent I might be more neighbourly about it.

CiaoCool



No-one thinks sweaties should support ENGLAND, the traitors are the so-called Englishmen who hate thgeir own country.


History lesson: You were asked whether you wanted your independence, you collectively replied "No thanks we haven't got the bollocks"


Nighty night 

topman, he is without doubt the best player ive seen, and ive seen them all from early 60s

Most of the haters are not even english and try to hide it  - sick of the nationalist movements and their bile  - they cannot even let it alone with a football team

admit we played well and were the better team and take your anti english bias with you

NOt sulking.  In a vert good mood as it happens.

Wont sulk Sunday either - however I could be seriously disgusted and p1ssed-off.......but then again on the other hand................

You know what I mean tiger

Our media will be going off like nothing else exists, it'll be silly beyond belief

"we're gonna win the next 3 majors and dominate the world for years to come" will be trotted out until they lose their first match after the tournament and he should be sacked ffs, the virus will vanish for sure it'll kill that I suppose



STFU and get back to the sewers you RAT!

so some of the critics are SNP types and/or not english   -  I nearly always find out on these subjects on here  - they have no interest in the success of england in sport or more wider in UK plc

moisok.... why let it get to you fella, not everyone will, you cant change it and the more you force it, the less likely it will ever change, people thrive on conflict

Nah I'm thrilled, amazed and realistic mate and wouldn't even feel comfortable in any way representing them, did try and get username changed at one point for that reason...many years since I've watched anything other than the odd game let alone live close by...but accept bigger teams will get decisions against them....it's just not a new thing....

was the Anfield penalty when I was a kid (not against Brentford obviously)

yes but they come on here battering away with their big mouths and you wonder why?  we won and played well  but you get these whiners going on -  why allow them to get away with it with their anti english bias  ON ALL SUBJECT ON HERE  -  it is just giving in to them  -  same with all the  internet

Harry Kane is actually a Spaz

stand by and say nothing  is not the way to go  - too many have already done that

lux  is another one

their mouth becomes bigger the more you show it gets to u.

i couldnt care less, just enjoy the moment, u will be looking forward to sunday, they wont. its a once in a lifetime moment

sure harry couldnt care what lux thinks

If you are English and you don't wish England to win the Final - then you really do have a serious problem.

Correct.

I have no interest in England in sport (other than what my sheckles dictate, football team excluded)

And I certainly have no interest in the wider UK plc.  Don't lose sleep over it or anything, just vote to secure its end.


Its not "bitter", just a viewpoint and a perfectly valid and legitimate one. You don't agree, good luck to you, but doesnt take away from my POSITIVE view of what an independent Scotland would be, staying stuck in UK is NEGATIVE thinking.

some like failure it gives them perspective on their own failings

I identify as a puddy cat not English

Just a very ordinary Italy team in our way.. and we're at Home!  

What could possibly go wrong.. ?

btw - i deal with plenty of scots on a daily bases and i find them a relaxed helpful bunch.

you know the answer to that being a spurs fan..... fortunatly Dier cant be picked

Maybe one day someone will give the English a vote on Independence. No one ever considers asking us our opinion???

...on English Independence I assume you mean?   If possibility of England getting independence from the UK I'd back them all the way.

See and who said I was anti-English. Clearly not.

did you know that Denmark had only 10 players when the game finished,they ran out of subs during extra time ,so the had no choice other than sit back and defend ,so not only did  England beat 10 men,they beat them  with the help of  an awarded no contact penalty,that happened when there were TWO BALLS THE PITCH,"now how did VAR not see the TWO BALLS when they were viewing the NO CONTACT PENALTY,against poor Denmark WHO HAD ONLY 10 MEN.

....  its a good point Tiger, never real thought of that.

Seriously, if such a referendum was held and given the belligerent state of the current UK/English/Brexit psyche, they would probably vote for English independence.

Interesting in its own way.  I have an idea

I'm listening.

He is one of the best footballers in the world, rich and wildly successful. Doubt he'd be too bothered about your worthless opinion of him.

sofa what's your nationality? if that's not too personal...

“If an extra ball, other object or animal enters the field of play during the match,
the referee must stop the match only if it interferes with play. Play must be
restarted by a dropped ball from the position of the match ball when play
was stopped, unless play was stopped inside the goal area, in which case the
referee drops the ball on the goal area line parallel to the goal line at the point
nearest to where the ball was located when play was stopped.”

lux is pointless piece of sht... hth.

-----------------------

Nothing concrete - just a route I hadn't considered.

Is the quickest to Scottish independence actually English Independence. Not as crazy as it sounds. Something like "Brexit has b*llixed things up because wasnt proper Brexit - Scots, Welsh and N.irish dragging us down"  etc etc.

Might start a thread on this on the politics forum. Conscious of "spoiling" a football one.

English to their credit might show more balls tahn we did.

oh. i c

I'll go for that, anything to get rid of the jocks.

Ok, well done England although I do believe the penalty decision was ridiculous. Hopefully a good game on Sunday.

i thought harry Kane gave a real captains performance tonight

2 balls on the pitch, a dive to boot

No one does "winning" quite like England

why thank you - a win is a win... and echos in eternity

SS, you dont even know the rules of football ffs, 2 balls on the pitch doesn't matter unless interfering with play, ffs, get yourself a real life will ya.

THE second ball was close enough to interfere with play it was only 15 yards away.And another question is how did the ref not see it,
it looks like it was a (dare i say it) A FIXED GAME.
and it has finished VAR for ever,because it was viewed world wide,AND THEY GOT THE DECISION WRONG."THEY ARE THERE TO GET THE CORRECT DECISION ,BUT THEY GOT IT WRONG ANDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD they missed the second ball.

a tiger always bites

hard.

Was the 2nd ball on pitch
when penalty was spilled
straight back to kane by kasper
the friendly goalie,... Or had
they removed it as soon as
possible, as it wasn't interfering
with play, as per the laws?

tiger,VAR LOOKED AT IT,CONTACT MEANS CONTACT,THERE WAS NO CONTACT,EVERYONE THAT LIVES ON THIS PLANET AND SEEN THE THE TACKLE CAN SEE THERE WAS NO CONTACT.VAR IS FINISHED FOR EVER AND 3 TO 5 BILLION PEOPLE AGREE WITH ME.

And your point is?

might be a delay

it was the same in 1966

the ball didn't cross the line

there is no end to England's CHEATING

Foydc.

missed out Italian

Lol

Fell asleep, who won??

I backed England,and i am delighted to collect my profits,my point is that VAR is a waste of time .thats all i am saying,England deserved to win,but the game will be remembered as a no contact penalty that was wrongly awarded,AND even is England win on Sunday everyone will say that Denmark were robbed in the semi final.It will take the gloss of the glory for years and years to come.

Sontaran, you were worthy of the win as you were the better side on the night. Only just though.  Denmark were superb at times.   Good luck in the final.  However it happens getting a penalty is derived from attacking.  However, Kane did his share of "simulation" too.  It seems it is part of the game now.  Various players have been over-lauded tonight, not least of all Sterling but the best England player on the park, bar none, was Kyle Walker.  He was stupendous tonight yet has barely had a mention.

The TV CHANNELS all over the world are showing the NO CONTACT penalty.

i didn't watch the post match stuff on ITV

what did Keane say?

didn't ITV have a ref on who said it was a penalty?

have the Danes said anything?

There was contact. Just not very much of it. German TV, and star referee Manuel Gräfe, concluded it was a very harsh, very soft penalty (and Gräfe would not have given it based on TV pictures), but it was still in the "can be given, not an obviously wrong decision" category.

It won't really tarnish the English title, if football does come home on Sunday, in the views of the German nation for years to come, do not worry, brassneck.

yeah that was my opinion as well

great minds

I thought the ref should have been made look at it on the monitor by the VAR. There would have been no 'clear and obvious' hurdle to get over then. He may have thought Maele caught him with the foot. It looked that way in real time.

There shouldn’t be var . The ref made his decision and that’s it
Try and be sporting and accept defeat in the right manner

By the way defenders always claim no foul ,and they always lie
A player didn’t go down at that point on the pitch in those circumstances unless he has been fouled

doesn’t

Never a penalty by any stretch of the imagination.  A shockingly calculated dive from football's latest MBE!  What an example for the kids.  When I was young we used to practise a Bobby Charlton thunderbolt, present day kids will now be practising the "Raheem" - the Raheem Sterling dive!  That is how far English football has sunk!

I'm drinking all your tears and they taste so sweet.

Must be great being Scottish. A brand new shirt for the big game on Sunday. Another container of Italian shirts arrived in Glasgow for sale this morning to wee bitter and twisted LOSERS.

Got no time for bitter people, life's too short.

Another stinking day for SS
