Even if you’re the biggest England fan in the world and are adamant that it is a definite clear penalty, there’s no denying that it’s controversial (and the Danes would certainly see it that way) DISCLAIMER- I am not defending the Sun, Scottish or otherwise, just wondering what is wrong with the headline.

Actually, just had a look at the English Sun (I know, I know) and they’ve done the opposite. They’ve completely ignored the controversy over the England penalty. Haha.

waltere Posted July 8, 2021 Report Share Posted July 8, 2021 I "may" have been drinking for a while at this point, but I'm genuinely confused as to how that penalty could possibly be considered controversial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minimal contact, as far as I could see. I was sure the VAR would deny us. That said, we deserved a penalty earlier when Kane was fouled (and the referee decided to give a free kick the other side), so all good.

Hugh Jass Posted July 8, 2021 Report Share Posted July 8, 2021 Dunno if you saw this on the telly or not but the car crashed into the plinth that the ball was on and knocked it off. Highlight of the entire night for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The atmosphere in London is going to be off the charts. Early start, breakfast, mooch around the city, head over to Wembley around 4/5? What a day you've got ahead of you, regardless of the result. Momentous. Soak it all up, mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mate booked us a hotel a while back so I'll be in the Wembley area from 1.30pm or so...will have some lunch then get on it but not too much as I want to remember the occasion!

Mrs J is taking the kids to see her parents for a couple of days and will be back Sunday lunchtime. I’ll make sure I see them for a bit when they get back then head out about 4ish to get to Wembley around five. Last night we all met around 5.30 and just had some beers on Wembley Way. Unfortunately the number of utter Neanderthals around made it slightly less enjoyable but hopefully Sunday will be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah getting the booze equation right is absolutely key. Only had the equivalent of two pints before going in last night and didn’t bother with the queues inside the ground. If anything I felt under prepared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll allow myself to have 3 or 4 but once you start heading towards the 6-7 pint mark then you're in trouble (if nothing else i find you just can't concentrate on a football match after that amount) What was it like last night in general? Few of my mates went and said the atmosphere was tense in ground but great outside afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gooner1990 Posted July 8, 2021 Report Share Posted July 8, 2021 Funny how lots of people are telling me I'm 'lucky' to have a ticket and someone has already offered to buy mine off me for £1,500. The same people who told me 18 months ago I was stupid to pay £500 for a game that could have been Switzerland v Turkey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their hub thing kept failing on us mi-match yesterday. So frustrating. I still can't believe England are in the final! I'm old enough to remember the Southgate penalty in 1996, this feels a long way from those days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
