Lovely dive from Sterling!
Let's hope the keeper coach had a word with Pickford. He was wound up tighter than a bomb disposal techs sphincter.
Lee Dixon says ‘level head’ just as they did a close up on Maguire. I laughed.
So much for Northern European teams not playacting and diving eh!
They both had their arms up. Apparently outjumping your opponent is a yellow now. Ridiculous.
someone needs to have a word with maguire as he looks like hes about to explode
If it was really the head injury he was claiming how is he allowed to continue playing under concussion rules?
So much for Northern European teams not playacting and diving eh!
Both teams tbf
Not really surprising given that absurd yellow but yeah, he's got to get his head together, play the game
Both teams tbf
Yup that's what I meant
If it was really the head injury he was claiming how is he allowed to continue playing under concussion rules?
Macguire got a yellow, so he doesn't have to go off if he receives treatment on the field.
And Macguire continues to play with fire.
Schmeichel shows hows its done, calm and efficent and pickford seems like a shouty child with ants in his pants
Help! Why can I not see the match?!?
We have been trying to get it since 20:00, and although the ‘home page’ on my tv says to ‘watch now’ on the ITV Hub, the match isn’t there. It’s literally not an option anywhere once you log onto ITV.
Just watch it on normal telly...
It's a bit weird but you have to select the watch live option on the left menu then scroll right and select watch live again for the match. At least that's how it is on my Samsung TV app.
@grum, when I click ‘watch live’, I get a menu to my right with itv2, itvBe, itv3, and itv4, but none of these have a game of any sort listed.
@jambourgie, I haven’t had a regular tv for many years. 🙁
Hmmm it does come up on mine once I've selected watch live on the left but it's not very intuitive. It's itv the main channel that it's on
As a desperate measure you could try hesgoal
itv hub was stuffed up a few games ago. just replaying the 3 second clip. Ended up switching on the freesat. check on your phone etc
‘He does fall over sometimes as well..’
Boy, who said Southgate doesn't gamble. Grealish on the left means Sterling on the right which means Maehle is unmarked.
Could easily be a pen. Soft but it's a foul imo. Probably not enough to overturn the ref on the field though.
Someone wanna explain what the VAR guys were doing there?
Edit: with all those monitors, I'm leaning towards epic Fortnite tourney.
Big Kane, kicks the defender, goes down like he's been hit with a cruise missile. Pesky Italians, eh?. 🤣
Big Kane, kicks the defender,
Toepoked the ball actually. As the replay pretty clearly showed.
You know when Lee Dixon says it's not a penalty for England, well, that.
Was 6 and half a dozen, but the dying swan doesn't help your cause. England look like they're the only team capable of winning this as it stands, bit early to be hanging on for pens.
one of those where he couldn't really keep the ball but by toepoking past the defender means the defender misses the challenge, and creates the contact
Could easily have been given
Defender didn't get the ball, got the man. Soft but anywhere else in the field as they say.
As one of the analysts said a few days ago, the way the game is these days, you have to go down to force the ref into a choice.
@nobeerinthefridge is looking out for England dives the only way you can enjoy football now? 😛
the dying swan doesn’t help your cause.
In this case I agree but sadly, often it does
Wasn't a pen. Kane was looking for it.
Italy won't be worried watching this game
****ting about in the corner and conceding a corner with 2 minutes to go!
Don't think that was a corner was it?
Italy won’t be worried watching this game
Italy that were dominated by Spain and scraped through on pens because Spain's finishing was so bad? Hmmm ok.
Christensen's wasn't a free kick, he was looking for it. Look what happened.
Yup that was a total dive for their goal. They also encroached with their wall on the free kick itself.
@nobeerinthefridge is looking out for England dives the only way you can enjoy football now?
Yep, highlighting duplicity is my only vice. 😉
Is Southgate aware of the strength he has on the bench? Got to go make changes sometime.
Somebody needs to try a shot from the top of the box. They know you don't want to cross it. They will sit in the bank of 5 and 4 and let you play around the edge. England adoing very well to create the spacea they are but they are practically daring you to shoot. Do it. Maybe Schmeicel spills it.
The ref does seem to be buying most things we are selling this evening!
England are clearly the better side but so were Spain last night....

He wouldn't if the Danish defenders didn't keep pressing fivers into his hand. Why get all over Kane's back when he's two'd up and facing the touchline 40 yards from goal. He has certain attributes but scoring from there isn't one!
Don't say it, nobody say it.
England are clearly the better side but so were Spain last night….
Aaaaaaahhhhh. You said it!
I don't think the ref has been very good, he has missed quite a few "professional" fouls and fallen for too many soft contacts.

He's weird. Normally grabbing a fistful of a players shirt and hanging on for dear life is a nailed on yellow. Unless you are Paulson.
I think they're saying there's some nob with a laser in the crowd.
Was it or was it the ball boys?
That makes no sense. That midfield trio have not given denmark an inch. Or is that about penalties. ?
I was thinking Sancho for Sterling, who has faded in and out but Sterling is probably more assured in pens.
How have we not got people attacking the box?
That is a dive.
Dying swan.
Dear oh dear
That looked soft too. Not a clear and obvious error is it though.
This'll end up 4-1 now
I know he’s trolling but nobeer has a point.
EDIT not about the 4-1
Meh, who cares? GOALLL
Haaaaaaa. Who cares!
I'm not trolling, a little tongue in cheek, but none of those were penalties.
Now that was less a pen than Kane's but because the ref gave it VAR couldn't really overturn it, "trip or attempt to trip"
Crap pen but Kane stayed switched on.
That was a shockingly bad penalty. Got lucky
I’ve been really pleased with the amount of non white faces in the England crowd. Really refreshing. 😀
So, even if someone's dived, VAR can't overturn it. Bravo football, go you.
What’s the point of VAR again? That dive was shameful. Denmark don’t deserve to go out on that.
That's why you have to do the Swan. If it's called on the field, it is a very high bar for VAR to overturn. If he'd givent the Kane one it wouldn't have been reversed.
There was a bit of contact in the challenge before the one he fainted on but he stayed up. A bit, mind.
The ref last night was better.
iTV Commentary has been poor, very poor.
don't go defensive now, push on and exploit gaps, we have the players to do it, not the subs to just sit and absorb.
And after that penalty, I don't want penalties.
It was as justified as the free kick the Danish scored from.
Denmark may not deserve to go out, but England deserve to win, 100%
So, even if someone’s dived, VAR can’t overturn it. Bravo football, go you.
It wasn't a dive. Maehle made a small amount of contact with his leg. Contact isn't even necessary. Kick or attempt to kick, trip or attempt. Sterling is past, you swing your leg in a careless fashion, it's a foul. So VAR can't overturn. He goes down to force the issue.
Maybe then one day we'll hear the end of the Hand of God as the great injustice.

Too late, he's not taking your calls. Grealish for Trippier. If you want to play in their end,, kill time, force fouls, that's an odd choice. Unless he's thinking ahead, or Grealish had a knock
Back 5. Or 3 and wingbacks if you are being charitable.
He goes down to force the issue.
Erm, isn’t that the definition of a dive?
sterling looks finished.. big shift tonight. shouldve left grealish on
It wasn’t a dive. Maehle made a small amount of contact with his leg.
Away and shite! How does nudging the left leg cause the right leg to drag and not come forward?. It was a dive, you said it yourself, he had to to the dying swan 🤣🤣🤣
Maybe then one day we’ll hear the end of the Hand of God as the great injustice.
If VAR had existed that would have been a 'clear and obvious error' and overturned. We'd have won WC 86, Gazza's tears wouldn't have existed in 1990, Three Lions would never have been written......etc.
It wasn't a clear and obvious error was it (Sterling's that is). Umpire's call.
How not to manage going 2-1 up with 10 minutes to go when you have been well on top.
Away and shite! How does nudging the left leg cause the right leg
You are looking at the wrong contact. Maehle is the player he got around. Took a swing with his right leg from behind Sterling, catches the outside of Sterling's right. Watch the replay like VAR did.
Im not saying he dived exactly but he went down. As he is 'entitked to do" as they say. It was less a cert to me than Kane's though.

Yep and the England goal in '66 may have been adjudged to have not crossed the line. It goes on.
This is stupid. They have the biggest players you've seen and you are content to play in your own box. One slip, one mistake, one dive......
Im not saying he dived exactly but he went down.
Nuff said.
What an irresponsible thing to say on live tv
Aye, what a clot.
