The Round Ball Game - II

[johncorrigan]

Never a yellow card. Poor decision.

Stonewall yellow as far as I saw, jayne - McGuire led with the elbow - I thought for a moment the ref had gone for the red card. The ITV commentators are appalling - having to watch a good game with the sound down.

Kane, VAR surely! No?
Not getting the breaks here....

Foden on for Mount soon? I can take ET, but penalties - no thanks (not just history - this tournament!)....

6+ minutes?! This is all but unbearable....

****

Yeah, so here we are again. Already nearly on the floor here, how about you guys?
Fresh energies required now, but.... who? For me, Hendo and Foden. Strength and creativity. Go for the win. Penalties are arbitrary agony.

****
Here they both come.... its now or never...

****
NO, then - YES! OK - 2-1 - more penalty agony.... hold on now England - hold tight everyone else!

We deserved that - we’ve had all the play .

Little bit of luck going our way with the oen, but Sterling earned it with a great run. Foden has been a great sub.

The earlier rejected penalty appeal was more of a penalty that that!

Disgrace - that was NOT a penalty

[jayne lee wilson]

yeeeeessss!!!!!

We've done it, we've only gone and done it!

Done for here, in the glorious now..... But there might be champagne for breakfast!!

Enjoy the moment....enjoy the heck out of it!

Well, to be fair, he didn't score the penalty, so that evens it up, no?

[Ein Heldenleben]

Did Denmark end up with only ten players through uaing up all their subs? The ITV commentator is so busy spinning hyperbole that seems to have been glossed over. Sterling was magnificent in Extra time - absolutely destroying supposedly fresher defenders.His fitness level....

[teamsaint]

A well deserved win for England, who constantly took the game to Denmark.
Denmark ran out of steam a little how we did in the WC, and Southgate really made our squad depth work for us
Never really expected to see England in a final, but this has been a fine effort all the way through.

Raheem Sterling has just said it was

Yes Jensen went off injured, during half time in extra time I think, they had no subs left

[Alison]

So agree about the commentator, poor show.

[LMcD]

So agree about the commentator, poor show.

Perhaps he (I'm assuming it was a 'he') was hoping to encourage viewers to watch the final on ITV even though (s)he probably knew very well that the great majority of viewers will watch the match on BBC, as is customary on these occasions.

[DracoM]

We cheated our way past Denmark.
I am ashamed.
