Overall a good tournament from Denmark, but poor tactics in extra time.

The final's going to be a close match imo. Really hoping Italy pull off a convincing win.

Happens all the time. A player wants a foul and stays down, the ball comes back near them and they get up and run like nothing has happened.

What made that different was that he was not even slow to get up, as most do. He just got up and ran. Obviously he's not the first person to do it, but it was on a different level than what I'd seen before.

Forza Italia

learned from the best

Both idiots didn't realize there are tens of cameras on them.

Have to wonder if Eriksen could've made the difference.

If you're not willing to use VAR to overturn shit like that then get rid of it. The upside of having lots of goals ruled out and excitement killed is you stop shit like this. If that isn't happening then give me the hundreds of marginally offside goals back next season

Forza Azzuri. It's going to be a great final. You can't deny that England overall deserved their win.

 

[Paid-off-Ref]

I’ll take this.
They played a 120 minutes and get a day less of rest. Best we could have hoped for TBH.

 

[Bjerknes]

Italy 3, England 1 despite Insigne's red card for being a midget fucker.

 

[Alen]

The better team won eventually. With dark arts, cheating, diving, but they were the better team.

 

[Ventus]

How the fuck do they get a fucking home game in the Semis and Final? What kind of fraud tournament is this?

Everything just seems to have gone their way. Even Denmark were missing their best player.

Morata about to break every record

 

[Knowah]

Remember when diving was going to get punished with VAR?

I remember that being a talking point.

I don't know how we're gonna combat England's tactics, the crowd makes it extremely difficult as well. Seriously I'm not looking forward to Sunday.

 

[Mike-e-y]

Make no mistake this England team at home is going to cause some real problems for Italy. I’m worried about the pace they have on the flanks and how we can contain the runs and pace of Sterling.

If we can seize control of the midfield with Veratti, Jorginho and Barella that really will be key. I see those three as having more than Mount, Phillips and Rice but this is going to be a hell of a final

 

[Ventus]

The better team won eventually. With dark arts, cheating, diving, but they were the better team.

1. 6 minutes of extra time.
2. Being home
3. Denmark being without their best player.
4. Scoring via an own goal and penalty that never was.

Let's just embrace the inevitable. England are winning it.

I don't think it was any different. If anything Immobile just casually got up and ran at half speed towards Barella.

Players often jump up and sprint to the action if the ball comes near them. Saka was a prime example.

It didn't look good from Immobile but I don't see why it has caused such a reaction, there is often worse. Probably just not shown on replays.

Immobile tripletta incoming.
