    Don’t they check reds in this?

    It was extremely cynical but I fail to see how that was serious foul play.

    Wtf, how is that a red. Good job it doesn’t affect anything but just rubs salt into Welsh wounds. Soundly beaten by a very good Denmark side.

    I'm very surprised that was given as a red. I'm very happy that was given as a red.

    I want to see entertaining, attacking football. If a defending player wants to foul an attacking player with zero attempt at playing the ball, I'm all for them walking off.

    There's nothing in the rules to justify that as a red though. It wasn't dangerous. I remember Joe Ralls getting sent off for Cardiff for a challenge on Lucas Moura for something similar but worse - that was dangerous.

    I never said there was. I said I'm happy to see reds for that. I'd gladly support a clear rule change.

    Yes - I agree. A frustrated, late and cynical challenge, but not a red. I don’t understand why VAR didn’t review.
    4-0 against Wales didn’t do them justice, but they were well beaten. Denmark much better team

    Amazing fourth Danish goal.

    I agree with @st_brendy - there was no intention to play the ball he just kicked him. What if he injured the Danish player out of sheer spite.

    Wouldn't be surprised if they made the semis really. Far from convinced by Holland.

    Agreed. At the very least, I'd expect a really good game with goals.

    I did about 10 days ago that the world rankings would suggest an England v Denmark SF in the bottom half.

    They’re looking very well-organised and they have some great players. Maehle and Damsgaard are filling the Eriksen gap admirably.

    Arnautovic is going to get an early bath I feel.

    Makes such a difference not having the proper fanbases allowed in.
