[Hist]

Wait so the fixers' mega plan was to let both teams score and go to extra time, and then when the time is right throw in an extra ball to confuse the Danish players. Raheem will then take the active ball and run at the defense and attempt to dribble through them. They will quickly surround him and and try to tackle him and he will fall from the softest touch. Damn these fixers are good at planning

I still can’t believe they got a penalty for this. If it was a Juve player, they would have give a retrospective ban a la Krasic.

Imagine getting eliminated for something like this? pure scandalous decision. Such a fairy of a player, just pace and nothing else.

He is a good player, but his finishing is pretty awful and his diving is even worse.

 

[X Æ A-12]

Didn't even notice in real time, close to the play as well

Apparently Danish coach told the 4th official too before the dive

Meh, if its the rule then it should be called but I don't think the 2nd ball had any effect there. The scandal is his diving

chiello vs sterling

Not his job to look after Sterling. That’ll fall on Emerson or whoever he decides to play as LB.

Chiellini and Bonucci will take care of Kane.

It's mind-blowing how the refs still make such big mistakes in 2021. They got all the help, there's a room full of qualified people who are there to specifically look at these moments, yet they fail hard.

I mean, they are perfectly aware of the fact there's gonna be a top 5 diver playing there, they gotta be cautious about moments like that and stuff, yet they fall for that anyways. That's just inexplicable.

 

[juventus4life]

Didn't watch the game live. From the replay, it seems to me that Sterling was diving and the ref let England have the PK despite VAR.

 

[campionesidd]

I feel bad for Kasper Schmeichel. The dude is awesome.

 

[Espectro]

ok people... here we go...

Top 3 players from the tournament...

1 - Chiesa
2 - Kane

Kane seriously ?

 

[Espectro]

Kane seriously ?

I know… have to choose one from England because they do have been the second most consistent team in my opinion… was going for Sterling but that dive arrrrrgh

so I pick Kane but if it bothers you… change it to a Pickford

Kane has been useless almost all tournament.

Ok for me:

1. Schick
2. Spinazzola
3. Pedri

The thing that worries me most are our wingbacks

 

[Fab Fragment]

The thing that worries me most are our wingbacks

Wingbacks and the lack of a proper CF. Wish we had Kean.
Too bad Zaniolo couldn’t make it either.
What’s more worrisome is our physical condition. We were huffing and puffing against a Spanish side whose previous 2 games had gone to extra time.

The real question is does Mancini stick or finally twist? The formation has been growing steadily more stale during this tournament and Italy really could be playing into England’s hands as they have a huge range of options to choose from. On the other hand changing something now could backfire horribly.

Italy are in a real tough spot. England’s trophy to lose, being at Wembley and all.

Now is not the time to twist, you don’t go experimenting in a major final.

In all honesty this England team has show they struggle to play against teams that are set up solidly. They struggled against Scotland and Denmark and we have far more quality than those teams.

The main concern we should have is how we deal with Sterling and Saka along with any pace they bring off the bench in the latter stages. Our defenders really struggle with pace and direct runners. If we can push their wingers back and double up on them then England have little to nothing to offer. They’re not going to control possession like Spain did that’s for sure.

It’s going to be a hell of a game

 

[KirilovBG]

Lol dat penalty

 

[Strickland]

Italy needs Lazio Immobile to show up, not this braindead, unable to finish anything Azzurri Immobile. If Immobile has his shooting boots on, Italy wins this easy, if he doesn’t, it’s a toss-up

The worst thing isn't his finishing, he hasn't missed that many chances (although he has 17 shots with only 3 on target). It's the absolute lack of quality off the ball movement and link-up play, it always looks like this is his first time playing together with Insigne or Verratti.
