Last, this is the same fixture as last year’s Womens World Cup final and a similar battle. Spain are ‘Spanish’ but with newfound directness (Paralluelo); England are unconvincing and scraped through thanks to narrow wins, shootouts & a surprise switch to a back three. Spain won.

Football is a simple game. Twenty-two men chase a ball for 90 minutes and at the end, the G̶e̶r̶m̶a̶n̶s̶ English always win. All the best for the final on Sunday, England! #EURO2024
WE HAVE DONE IT 🤩 The #ThreeLions have reached the EURO final for a second time in a row… and in our history!

One of the issues with the Cucurella handball decision from a German angle is we’re used to something different in the Bundesliga where a close decision in a big game like that would involve the referee giving multiple interviews to explain & maybe appear on #Dopa.

Toni Kroos signs off from football with a crap free kick into the keeper's arms. I guess that's how careers end in practice.

"If you give me six lines written by the hand of the most honest of men, I will find something in them which will hang him."
Replying to @daisychristo
“It is an offence if the player touches the ball with their hand/arm when it has made their body unnaturally bigger” - I think the below image does support the VAR intervention, I’m quite hawkish on handball but it’s hard to argue his arm is really in a natural position here imo

If the rule you follow brought you here, then what was the point of the rule?
Replying to @daisychristo
The snickometer isn’t the problem - it just confirms the ball hit his hand, the rest of it was a pretty straightforward interpretation of the handball rule. His hand being out interrupted the flight of the ball, clear handball offence imho. Don’t like VAR but it did its job there

I've done the research for you. Googled "list of every English football club A-Z" Arundel. 1 club from Arsenal to Ascot United.

I wonder how many youth and reserve coaches told Eze and Olise to ‘stop showboating’ when they were coming up They are the players that you pay to watch

NEW PODCAST: sofpodcast.com/2024/04/sound… We were going to devote the whole episode to the scrapping of replays in the FA Cup but then VAR decided it needed attention after shattering Coventry's dreams and the uncontrolled accusations of Notts Forest* *that's what we call them now

Gnonto was clearly offside. Boro should hire Jeff Winter to put out a statement calling the lino a cheat.

It’s still very possible that the whole top half of Serie A could be playing in Europe next season. *6* CL (4+1 and Atalanta as EL winners) 3 EL (2 + Fiorentina as CoL winners) 1 CoL
