Get on with the game, its not a pen

Seen enough soft pens tonight. Get soft pens out of football asap

How not? He steps on the back of his leg.

Its a pet hate of mine. I hate soft penalties. The punishment does not fit the crime.

Players will continue to go down easily while refs give such soft decisions.

First contact outside the box for me.

The point isn’t just for the punishment to fit the crime it is also to get teams to play more. I genuinely think if you gave a penalty for every foul in the penalty area football would improve because Big Sam style tactics become unusable.

 

[Billy Dean]

That was the one thing I didn’t want to happen

VAR check and no penalty lol would have been a soft penalty but outside the box that’s defo a foul.

I think that's exactly what it was; outside the box. I think the initial foul is a tangle of legs before the stamp.

I think that's what the delay was about, determining where the foul took place.

"Nothing to be scared of" shouts completely forgetting we play 2 defensive midfielders cos we're scared lol

Still don't know how you can have a gash side when they've got Sane, Gnabry, Kimmich, Kroos, Werner though

But he didn’t give a free kick though either way, I thought it was a foul, didn’t see enough replays to see if it was outside, my first thought was inside, the stamp I mean

VAR can't overturn an on field decision to give a free kick.

I think VAR thought it was a foul, but a free kick, so couldn't give anything.

Probably the best outcome for England that... We're still going out lol

 

[Jamiednm]

I wouldn’t put it past England to beat Germany then get knocked out in what looks like the easiest path to a Final ever.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Give Jogi the Everton job ffs

Sweden/Ukraine then probably Holland. Tough semi-final that like the way the Dutch look.

But given the other side of the draw, you're right in that it could be much, much worse.

I thought he did a poor job today
