Sour grapes is an awful condition to shoulder. In all likelihood England can now go and win this as Spain arent the great side they were five plus years ago. Lord only knows how you guys will feel when England are crowned CHAMPIONS.

There hasnt been an outstanding team in this tournament, England could quite easily win now, Spain are no great shakes. Southgate could be the spoiler if he decides to bring TAA back into the team, tonights team selection looked good, and balanced prematch and so it proved.

So, had Kane's shot gone in would there have been a VAR check and would the Dutch guy been booked? Of course not.
I am stunned that a penalty was contrived out of that. And, sorry to say, it looks like it was contrived.
VAR has ruined football and given the opportunity for ego-bound officials to step in and play a part when there was no part for them to play.
Why did they review it anyway? Did the referee make a 'clear an obvious error'? And then the weak as pi*s ref runs over, takes one look and gives the penalty.
It might all seem great for England to have some good luck for a change but VAR will eventually spell the end of football if it is used so unjustly.
But after 52 year of gambling I know that a really outrageous slice of luck either way very often balances itself out very quickly. So, let us not be surprised if luck - and politics within the ruling elite of the game - combone to trun England over in the final....

Studs were lower than knee. So 100% not high. Tackle after the shot.
Maybe officials didn’t see it has they fainted when seeing Kane have a shot on target. Woke up. Presumed there must be an error. There’s no way lane could be in the box and shoot. So just gave a pen.
Southgate. V Swiss we mustn’t make subs cos need kane on for pens.
Souhgate v Holland. Let’s take Kane off at 80 mins. Maybe crappy striker might nick one late on.
First time in 10 years he’s subbed Kane. Then player gets winner.

Just relieved we were on the fortunate of VAR last night.
Premier league had the chance to vote it out a couple of month's ago and copped out.
So no moaning from Managers this season?

I'm with the minority that thought it was a penalty - the way to judge is imagine that tackle happening in a midfield area, and ref gives a free kick (maybe card) every time.

What about the Saka handball in the penalty box, immeadiately before Kane shot - clearly the right call on the whole incident was free kick to Holland, yet Var never even looked at that!

Hate in these situations when people always say something like if that was anywhere else on the pitch the ref would have given a foul. Giving a foul in a non dangerous area like the halfway line and awarding a penalty for a similar incident always have to be two separate things imho.To give a penalty it has to be a 100% foul in the box and that certainly wasn't as if anything Kane kicked Dumfries.

The player was beaten to the ball and left his leg out with studs showing. Had a player gone for the ball, missed it and a running player fallen over the leg it would have been a penalty. It was a penalty.

Ive really noticed the difference in referee's interpretations of the laws of the game across Europe
Its russian roulette depending on what referee you get as to whether you get a decision
Its most noticeable is with handball and the difference in interpretation between the Champions league and premier league. Even penalties given for handball in the SPL would never be given in the EPL
We were lucky to get a referee who would give that as a penalty although I'm sure it wouldnt have been given in the EPL
I suppose the argument that it would be a foul anywhere else on the pitch should be valid but we all know that the refs have a higher threshold for a foul in the penalty box which is wrong and a deviation of the laws of the game

Dusty's post is spot on - the screaming and wailing (even from some English commentators) that it wasn't a penalty is ridiculous. It was a perfectly fair penalty decision, from a player who didn't know how to challenge within the game's rules.

It was never a penalty,no England player even claimed for a penalty, Kane catches the guy with his follow through.I watch some e Bundesliga and they give pens for ridiculous things ,they can thank them appointing German officials ,though how they missed Declan Rice and his wrestling moves at corners I don't know.

Ridiculous penalty. Thankfully it went for us. It would’ve been talked about for years had it gone against us.
Personal interpretation of fouls is still my biggest gripe with VAR.

i thought spain would win it before it started but i traded out a few days ago, they've played well and maybe they are due a bad one, conversely england have done it the other way, they might be coming good at the right time and i'm thinking that they may win the final simply because they can't keep being cr@p

It sounds like there’s plenty of news coverage north of the border on it then. Do all Scots tune in to watch our matches? I think I’ve watched Scotland play three times in the last decade and that was all in the last month.

The problem with var refs,the on field ref seems scared that the var ref is somehow a better ref. Never do you see a ref go to screen,then insists on same descision.
The var ref should say,check screen to make sure if happy,but they seem to be saying,we think that’s a foul are you sure it wasn’t.so the on field ref pannicks,thinks he ll be dropped from games in future,so caves in to var.
It might be better,to do away with var refs,and just get on field to check screen after big calls.but the on field is the only one allowed to make the descision,with no input from var.

Most English fans don’t want to see the back four passing it to each other, it pisses us off watching it. It’s even more annoying when the ball is at Pickford’s feet seconds after taking a corner. It didn’t happen anywhere near as much in the last game. They were also great in the first half.

All good teams end up doing it,because opposition park bus. Hence why pep likes keepers who play football,has they become part of the attack.as Barcelona and Real Madrid basically face bus Parker’s every week. As England do in qualifiers v Moldova and San Marino.

Hilarious yes, but the anti English hatred is so evident its hard to ignore. No Ifs, no maybes, defender goes in studs up in the box is dangerous play and a certain penalty. Im not even sure Scotland/Wales can even be consdiered footballing nations no wonder they hate the English so much.

For it to be banter you’d need something of your own instead of being the c0ck **** of each of England’s opposition as they get defeated.
You need a little bit more to be proud of other than ‘there was a headline in a newspaper once in the 1970’s that said Scotland might get out the group this time’….but didn’t.
