    OK, I get it, but surely the whole point of VAR is to correct bad decisions made by the ref so why would the Ref ignore it?

    I’m not talking about 50/50 decisions, I am talking about blatant errors which the ref originally got wrong and are “corrected” by the VAR.

    I don’t get it either, the camera clearly picks up more than the ref sees unless he’s in the right place exactly and then he doesn’t have the benefit of seeing it in slow mo etc

    Rude. But I think every book on the topic will show the actual scores for each game as being 4-2 to England (1966) and 4-1 to Germany (2010). So clearly Hurst (only person to score a hat-trick in a World Cup Final) shot was a goal and Lampard’s wasn’t, irrespective of what the plebs think.

    But as you are looking for a book, may I suggest https://backtothefuture.fandom.com/w...Sports_Almanac. Good enough for Marty McFly so should be good enough for you.

    Anywhoo, enjoy the football tonight, whoever you are supporting.

    Reports of playing a back 3 and wingbacks is interesting- I thinking we’d see the same line up as the Semi’s

    Hopefully the fullbacks can get involved early and cause the Italians some issues about wether they press or drop off.

    Good to see that you are still not running out of topics to be wrong about: Carli Lloyd scored a hattrick in the 2015 Women's World Cup final between the USA and Japan, by scoring in the 3rd, 5th and 16th minute.

    I suppose that technically it’s only 51 years as England were still the World Cup holders until 1970!

    Seeks to be unrest at Wembley and fighting between some fans and security. Apparently it is fans with no tickets who were fighting and some managed to break through and make it into the stadium. Hopefully the authorities sort it out.

    Not surprising when you see the sheer amount of fans that have been absolutely caning it since early afternoon. From the pictures outside the stadium and the state they are in they won’t have a clue what happens during the match!

    Indeed. Seems that tonight's game will be Gammon vs Porchetta! Hopefully police get on top of it.

    If they win you can pretty much guarantee it.
    Either way I think he'll probably be knighted and deservedly so.

    It's bad but just remember these are a minority and don't reflect the majority. I'm sure the same happens elsewhere.

    Not flattering coverage in Italy. Talk that the Italians may cite security concerns to ask for the match to be postponed! That's no doubt hearsay and unlikely to happen.

    Yet again disgusted by 'my' nation, too many people intent on ruining for the masses. How we have not stamped out these people over the years amazes me.

    What does it take for these 'loyal fans', I would suggest us being banned for competing based on a few extreme fans, perhaps they might then realise they are twunts ruining the games.

    The Euros 2020

    Not even fans, just a load of drunken angry c*ck ends decked out in England gear - it will be carnage in and around Wembley tonight. Feel for the fans in the stadium, by the time they come out it could be apocalyptic

    There is good reason the very big matches are not at 8pm in this country!

    Too long for the fans to warm up during opening hours.

    A Dutch tv reporter saw it happen. His words: “They were there on Olympic Way since 11AM yesterday morning. And they have not stopped drinking since they arrived!”

    Bunch of morons, but every country has them.

    I think you’ll find there’s some pretty bad behaviour amongst Italian ultras in your average Serie A game…

    Hope to god England lose. Absolutely can't stand England fans. The senseless violence, trolling of little girls, beating up families in front of their kids for not being English and who can forget stereotypical domestic violence. Not for me.

    I can get behind England in international rugby - but probably will never do that for football.

    I 'think' that is driven by fan behaviour, as I detest the whole bigotry of Scottish Rangers/Celtic, which is a national shame.

    About the Dutch referee Björn Kuipers. It's his last game as ref. His international career ends tonight.

    Kuipers owns a few supermarkets (franchisee) and his wife owns a few hair dressers shops. He hasn't done badly: the supermarket business has made him a millionaire (no kidding) according to the chamber of commerce open sources.

    About the VAR: originally, UEFA had appointed the same Dutch VAR as the one during Eng/Den. But he is demoted! There's another VAR ref (German), the Dutch VAR ref is 'only' an assistant tonight.

    Thanks for the tip. Listening to a radio commentary where they talk about the game rather than their own opinions is refreshing. I just have to remember that their intended audience doesn't have the advantage of the score being ever present on a screen such that they keep mentioning the state of play for the radio listeners.

    Not on iPlayer and one other method (it was mentioned but didn't register). Indeed iPlayer shows the option at the bottom of the main page.
