Euro 2020

That wasn’t a dive

Softer penalties than that have been given, more obvious penalties haven’t

England have had the better of the last 60 mins and deserve the lead

[josykay]

Ohhhhh, does poor England, even after having 60.000 fans in their stadium, and next to none danish fans, still need a referee gift to win. Ridiculous.

[Micfeind]

they ran out of steam at about the 70 min mark

[hellhamster]

I really wish Denmark tries to fight this VAR decision. This is some absolute bullshit.

[Jessicka]

He should have been booked for diving.

Based on the discussion around Immobile, he should have been sent off.

[Fenzha]

I was convinced it wasnt a penalty when i first saw it but with each replay i they showed my focus on the feet/lower legs weakened and there was contact around hip/waist area.
Weak, but there.

Man if you touch me slightly it's a contact but that doesn't mean you'll make me fall or that it's a foul even. Sterling made 1000% more out of that situation than what it should have been.

Yep.

Soft penalty. But anyone who says that was a dive is displaying their own bias

[sheffield]

this ref will never have to pay for a pint in England again

[Mazza]

Well that wasn’t a penalty, but okay. Denmark I think have run out of steam.

True, still if they go out like this it's very harsh imo. When Belgium went out in the quarterfinals I felt Italy was just better, so I was like "Ok, we didn't deserve to go through there." Having your opponents getting the victory handed to them must be infuriating.

Sorry, don't know how else to call a player that simulates getting fouled to get a penalty.

[quetzai]

I find it hilarous, i've been reading so many complains from english people about spanish or italian players diving / cheating. So what now?.

Agree, everyone wants a fair game.

[hellhamster]

Absolutely no penalty because there is no contact, and VAR should have cleared it.

How THE FUCK was this a penalty? More importantly, HOW THE FUCK did it go past VAR?

If this isn't blatantly fixed, I'm the pope.

10 own goals in this tournament too hehe

English fans are the worst of the world. Hypocritical, arrogant, and next to nothing to show for it, and finding ways to complain even when nothing happens. But well, England also got a damn fat UEFA bonus, with having all but one game in Wembly, during an pandemic, when nobody is able to travel to England.
It was generally BS that seemingly the host country, not UEFA was able to choose, how many people are allowed into the stadium. Aside of course of England having also no precautions at all.

Cant really see what little contact there was from that angle.
People seem to be focusing on the first challenge where there was absolutely no contact, but not the collision of the hips with the second player.
Weak call but definitely not nothing.

Have you watched a football game before? The other player did no motion to throw him off with his legs.

Mehle didn't even touch Sterling's leg and he lunged like he hit a metal bar with both his shins. Jensen's hip barely grazed Sterling's while he was already falling and it wasn't intentional. This is the definition of a dive.

Actually, looking closer at Sterling's behaviour, it seems like he already made up his mind to go to the ground BEFORE Mehle's leg was anywhere close to him...

[Cren]

I didn't see all you people complaining when Denmark scored in their last game from a corner which wasn't even a corner. Why wasn't this thread filled with complaints then?

Is it just because people wanna see England get knocked out and especially since it was Sterling who have a tendency to go down easily?

Seems like so much hypocricy here.
