Agree it was a favour to everyone, but there were several subs - and on the whole refs do it by the book! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But one weird thing. 3 second half goals and multiple substitutions, yet no stoppage time. I don't get that at all. I mean, I guess the ref thought he was doing them a favour. However, Ukraine were about to make 3 subs to allow three players to at least get on the field these Euros, one an 18 year old lad. Its for the ref to apply the laws, not to start ‘taking a view’.

Silvio Dante Posted July 3, 2021 Report Share Posted July 3, 2021 Straying into politics for a minute. If you boo these players taking the knee, please don’t cheer them for winning a football match. That taking the knee epitomises the togetherness this team have when they believe in a cause. And a just one at that. Or to put it simply - don’t boo them for doing something you don’t agree with but cheer because they do something you like. Proud of them. On both counts. And I hope Lee Anderson isn’t watching.

freezer Posted July 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2021 Thought ze German officials did a good job tonight. Not sure why there wasn't a single minute of added time at the end of the second half though. Not complaining, the game was over, but surely the ref has to follow the rules, not interpret them as he sees fit. Oh, and nice one England. Fantastic result. Not bringing politics into it, but get off your knees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After 80 minutes in the last game he was dog shit and not even worth 20million. Coming into form at the right time. I'm not Gareths biggest fan but I can't fault him after that. Brilliant.

Offside Posted July 3, 2021 Report Share Posted July 3, 2021 Another very accomplished and disciplined performance from England. Apart from an element of sloppiness in the first half, it’s difficult to criticise anything about tonight’s game. The work rate and desire was a joy to watch in that second half.

Slacker Posted July 3, 2021 Report Share Posted July 3, 2021 Not taking anything away from a fantastic team performance by England,I was quite surprised how poor Ukraine were.To come back from 2-O down from Holland,even though they eventually lost,I thought they would have been a fair bit tougher opposition.

Before half time they were starting to look like they could make a game of it after they changed system, but the second goal coming when it did absolutely knocked the stuffing out of them.

2015 Posted July 3, 2021 Report Share Posted July 3, 2021 I wasn't nervous for the game today, which is rare for England, maybe a bit of arrogance. I expected us to win, we are the better side.

As said above we are bullying teams which are not up to our standard in a major tournament for once instead of qualifying when it’s taken as granted so Gareth has to take a lot of credit,as for Kane the proof will be in the pudding when the big games come round when we won’t be so dominant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
