Apparently the Italians were doing it, and so were the Danes in group stage matches. Probably not at the level that England fans were, in any case. My unpopular opinion is that national anthems are dirges and should not be sung before sports matches. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the idea that we should have gone out to score another and potentially conceded in the process so that some people on OTF wouldn’t moan about us being given a blatant penalty. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
m_fenton Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 I mean, even if Denmark had held out for another 15 minutes after going a man down, what makes it certain or even likely that they'd have won a shoot out? We beat Columbia in 2018 and Switzerland in 2019 - Southgate's England emphatically aren't Old England. Schmeichel's saved 23/91 in his career (25%) vs Pickford's 11/46 (24%) - so even the goalkeeper "advantage" I've heard tons of people mention doesn't actually exist. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, either before or after the penalty. Now, it's a game decider, otherwise, it wouldn't have been. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of stone throwing in glass houses out there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obi-Wan Kenobi Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 UEFA have solved the game's problems once again and taken their usual course of rapid, decisive, and comprehensive measure of issuing fines from the problems reported: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/57788267 Football is saved again, what would we do without you UEFA?

martinji Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 This thread: 5.5 pages of pre-match comment and build-up, 17.5 pages of match, 18 pages of debating the penalty/"dark arts". And some people thought VAR would remove debates from football 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
