I know previously it looked like I strongly disliked Southgate but it turns out my account was actually hacked for a long while and someone was posting Southgate slander on my account. We've rode our luck and we may need to ride it again but yesterday was the first game where he looked proactive to the game infront of us. Subs were spot on and nearly the entire team performed at the levels they should Could easily have gone out of the tournament a few times but we're hanging in there, as a terrible man once said "fine lines" Off to Berlin I goGlory hunter!

His foot isn't high, he doesn't impede Kane getting his shot away, Kane's follow through kicks hos foot Look at the player's reaction. Nobody thinks it's a penalty and if Kane got up and on with the game then it would never have been given. He seems to have some hold over referees that every time he decides to fall over or roll about then there must be a foul. Agreed. Never a penalty. The challenge had no impact on the outcome of the attempt on goal. Back in the day a high foot was anything above chest height. What was the defender meant to do? Throw his head in the way? The challenge had no impact on the outcome of the attempt on goal. Absolutely irrelevant to whether it's a freekick/card/penalty You can get a red card without any actual contact at all. That's the actual rules, not the "this is what the rules should be" rules that most people blather on about when a penalty decision goes a different way from their hopes!

The more I watch the replay of the penalty incident, the more it looks like a penalty. If I watch it another twenty times I’m sure I’ll be fully convinced that it was stonewall.

I think it is a penalty, if that foul happens in the centre circle it gets given all day etc etc...
Just not sure about the whole threshold for 'clear and obvious error' nonsense, but I'm just glad we don't have to deal with VAR in general very often!

it's probably given as a foul on the halfway line but regardless of position on the pitch, it's not a foul

Do think it's pretty funny that Kane will win the Golden Boot if he scores in the final and Olmo doesn't. Also pretty funny if neither score and Olmo wins it with.... 3 goals (+ 2 assists). I won’t be laughing. I had money on Gakpo

So I said we'd lose to the Swiss and we won. And then I said we'd lose to the Dutch and we won.
So I want to make it absolutely 100% clear that there genuinely is no bloody chance we will beat Spain. No chance at all. They are miles better than us.
It's been a great run and I will love Southgate forever, but we aren't winning this thing.

People forget that on the Titanic’s maiden voyage there were over a thousand miles of uneventful, very pleasurable cruising before it hit the iceberg.

I won’t be laughing. I had money on Gakpo UEFA have apparently confirmed that the award will officially be shared between all those on 3 goals if no one makes it to 4. Also Gakpo has another game to play too...

I didn’t think there was going to be a 3rd place playoff.

Oh yeah you're right. Forgot it's only the World Cup that has it.
