unfortunately it's part of the modern game - players feel a touch and they feel they need to dive - today Sterling proved that diving pays and that's not right

Have you ever run @ 25 miles an hour with a ball at your feet, 3 people trying to get the ball off you, one slightly clips you? Bloody hard to keep you balance. Maybe **** refs, who would believe you.
It's a business, brown paper bags all over the place, but simple mechanics and physics can not be denied.
Pay attention to who you’re replying to!
 
Looking at it again...It was a soft penalty.

I don't think that warrants the word cheats?

We ground them down,they're a physical side,they tackle hard,pass the ball well and fought like ****.We got on top in the end,I'd much rather we'd have scored from open play but it is what it is.
I don't think I'd disagree with that. Not often is it a soft penalty in the era of tv video referee review. The issue may be the rules need revising. Broken shin bones or rcrushed cheek bones ? Bring on the X-Ray machines !:emoticon-0105-wink::emoticon-0105-wink:

Schmeichel had a blinder.

We’re in the final...



Allam’s OUT.

I didn’t see Grealish in the post-match celebrations. Someone tell me I’m wrong and he had a big smile on his face. Subbing off a sub is also quite humiliating, and if he needed to take off a winger for another defender, he could’ve taken Sterling off. It was a baffling decision.
He seemed to be smiling after the final whistle if I recall. They're all pros working for the team.
 
Not a great game but we won. The penalty? I thought not but it was given, end of.

Not England's best day but we're in the final, hope for something better.
