England

Congatulations to the English people 🙂 Really harsh penalty call but the better team probably won it today. Good luck in the final.

Great drama, brilliant to watch. Skill, and fight. And played in a good spirit. All round better  than the men’s game.

Well we did it. We rode our luck again but we were the best team I think. Another awful penalty. Why are they all at a saveable height ?

I though it was a pen but you see things like that happen 10 times a game and nothing is given.

Exactly. The refs has to give 10 a game if that one is a pen. And very controversial to give at that moment.  As a Dane it gives me flashbacks to another time England got a dodgy late penalty in a euros semi final. 😆 🤯

I always used to think that if you’re going to give a penalty so late in the game it’s got to be a real penalty because you’re effectively deciding the game.

Maybe the ref was as sick of the Italian diving as the rest of us?

3 out the last 4 euros semi finals we've scored a last minute winner. To quote Alex Ferguson 'bloody hell football '

Basically - which then begs the question why would you waste your time watching really shit men's football?

I only watch England play these days - and I used to watch that Bronze / Bardsley / Houghton City team most home games back in the day. 

That’s like questioning the reality of being a Rover 🤣

That was a pen. The fact it's not given in different circumstances doesn't alter it, for me. 

It's the calmest, most sure "that's a pen" call I've ever made from my sofa.

Absolutely, she was dragged down to the floor by a defender in the penalty box. What else could it be?

The issue is that these offences too often aren't punished.

If there are 10 penalties there, then give 'em! Why pick and choose? If someone drags you down in the penalty its a pen full stop.

Only way to end these offences.

Yep really simple.

Like diving. They'd get rid of it in one weekend if it was a straight red with a 5 match ban.
