Kane and Sterling the two biggest cheats in the tournament yet we are always blaming the Italians, Spanish and Portuguese etc for diving. That was never a penalty, absolutely awful decision.

"Football's Coming Home."
Definitely rooting for England on Sunday.
They haven't made a Major Tournament Final since 1966!!!
More than 50 years of heartbreak, they deserve this!

First of all--England utterly dominated the match and deserved to win.
And yes, both in real time and in replays I thought it was a penalty. Sterling got clipped on his right AND hip-checked on his left. That's a lot of contact a few feet from goal. Not much contact, but enough to draw a penalty IMHO.
And I'm sorry, I'm sick of the Spaniards and the Italians writhing around in agony on the pitch and then "magically" jumping up like nothing happened. It's bad for the sport. Yes, all teams do it to a certain extent, but some teams are just ridiculous with the flopping and diving.

“First of all--England utterly dominated the match and deserved to win.”
It was an even game for the first 60 minutes, the Danes then looked shot and England took over. I never said they didn’t deserve to win I’m just dubious about the way they did. Football is a contact sport, just because there is slight contact shouldn’t mean it’s a foul. No Danish player made a challenge on him and he went over looking for a penalty. I don’t like diving, never have, my point is all teams do it yet we get all high and mighty about other teams doing it and then laugh it off when ours do. It’s all cheating and unfortunately part of the game for years now.

Aaron RAMSdale about to sign for Arsenal @OldSchool. Surely he’ll immediately become your favourite player? I don’t actually rate him though, not sure it’s a good signing.

I don’t hate the signing, I would have if we paid their initial asking fee. He’s an adequate keeper and a typical one. Makes some stops that are highlights and blunders some so you think we’ll fuck I could have stopped that. Arsenal certainly spent money and think they have one more coming, we’ll see if it was well spent.
