Yeah, I meant sour, but as Arsenal supporters, it worked out.I think you meant sour, but as a gooner, I can never be sure

He did get booked for it and got substituted the minute after.Should have been a booking for sure.
People would complain about any team cheating their way to the final.I don’t think anyone is blaming Sterling. I know I’m not. He does what all players would do. This is 100% on the ref and VAR. people mostly calling out the English because they historically complain about other nations diving.
If I were an England fan, I would hate to advance like this. If they end up winning the thing, it will forever be remembered as the Sterling diving cup, just like that infamous goal in 1966, that supposedly wasnt there. Or our missed qualification in 1992.
Sorry this is more than 3 hours there and back. In addition flight Copenhagen - St. Petersburg and Copenhagen to Amsterdam. England has an easy way! Very easy UEFA support.That's my point, it really isn't. You're talking about a 3hr difference in flight time. These guys aren't flying middle seat with Spirit Airlines. It's for me not a relevant issue and people always overstate the effect of travel in every sport.
If you want to complain about England playing almost all games at home, have at it, but that's a separate issue.
To refresh your memory:
It's no more a penalty than last night. Whenever they've asked the German players about this in interviews, they smirk and try to evade..because everyone knows it was a dive. But no-one in Germany gave a damn then, no-one gives a damn now. I watched it live, and there was the widespread perception that Argentina were trying to cheat their way to the World Cup (their SF win over Italy was already seen as an injustice), so beating them by any means was absolutely fair play.
In reality, Sterling did what I've seen players of every nationality do in those situations. Even in this tournament. Also hardly surprising that the English would accept the gift and try to ignore the fact it was a dive (again behavior you can see from fans of all teams, there's always an excuse/rationalization for your own dives, never for the other team). Also hardly shocking the English would be triumphant and overjoyed after reaching their 1st final in 50+ years. It's almost as predictable as the fact that all the folks who don't like the English are now 'so bitter they must eat so many lemons" to paraphrase an English pop song from about 10 years ago.

But the big difference to that time is? Yes the VAR! Why we have this? Don t forget the second ball.
This is what a Danish newspaper correspondent in London wrote: "Let the English party. They have nothing else. And rejoice instead that you have woken up in Denmark today." I mean jeeze..that's the kind of thing you might put into a late night Whatsapp message to a buddy, but to submit that for publication? If an English writer wrote something like that, they'd call it an example of the "ugly Englishman" and English jingoism.
He did get a booking, as was fair, and is what should have happened yesterday.Should have been a booking for sure.
Yes, both Hoejbjerg and the coach made a point of it.The funny thing is that it's quite obvious that the 2nd ball was totally irrelevant to the situation because none of the Danes even made a point of it. The defenders were far too focused on Sterling to even notice the 2nd ball. If they had stopped playing right there and pointed at the 2nd ball, the ref would have had no choice but to whistle the play dead. Of course, the ref should have noticed either way, but that's on the ref not England.
But you're misunderstanding me. I'm not defending the referee or VAR here. Trust me, my heart sank when I saw it happen during the game yesterday. In fact, I stopped posting here because I soon thereafter switched off the match in disgust. My whole argument here is that I don't blame the English for taking it and for being happy they made the Final. It's no reason to say "that's why no-one likes the English" or other embittered, resentful stuff.
He hasn’t played that much tbh, and was one of a few weird panick subs by Hjulmand.Something I took out from this eurocopa is that I don't think I've seen at this level a midfielder as slow as Christian Norgaard on the Danes. Does he always play like that or did he have a knock or something?

It's an opinion piece. It's disgusting that it got on the site, but it isn't the official view of the paper or proper journalistic work.This is what a Danish newspaper correspondent in London wrote: "Let the English party.

Please, stop using Google translate. That sentence doesnt make any sense. Instead link what you saw, I will happily translate and get rid of any missed meaning.
