    You're convinced it was a foul.
    That's fine.
    The wider world doesn't agree and that's fine too.
    Settle yourself down and enjoy the build up.
    Let's hope there's no more diving from both teams tomorrow.

    Why have a ref if someone can overturn his devision? VAR is a referee ASSISTANT, not replacement. Nobody can undo the refs decision apart from the FA or UEFA via written appeal, and it very rarely happens.

    In the case of the Denmark march VAR was only called in to see if a serious error had occurred with the refs decision. It hadn't.

    Why are we still talking about this? It's done. Shall we go back and re-hash a load of other incidents we are unqualified to critique?

    Moot. 2 balls on the pitch right next to where play was taking place. Should have stopped the game by the rules.

    No, it's ready been covered. The rule is that play only has to be stopped if the 2nd ball is interfering with play. The extra ball had been there an little while, it was stationary and didn't affect Denmark in any way during Sterling's run.

    So if a ref awards awards a goal, and VAR tells him it was offside, the ref can decide to stick with his original decision. I think not. In which case surely the VAR has overruled the ref?

    I too thought it was a dubious penalty after the game but had only seen the camera angles shown on TV. The rest of the world is basing their opinion on the same angles. A lot of Danish fans are a still claiming there was no contact.

    When I saw the other angle that VAR had avaliable and that would have been close to the ref's view, my opinion completely changed. This video is tucked away on twitter and you tube so most of the rest of the world hasn't seen this and for many of those that have it doesn't fit the narrative they want to believe because it's Sterling and England.

    Lineker is now telling it like it is and he knows a quite a bit about penalties.

    https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.m...y-24492286.amp

    Anyway I agree it's time to move on, I look forward to the game even though I consider Italy as favourites. I hope to be able to enjoy the occasion and achievement regardless of the result.

    Enjoy the game too (but hopefully not the result)!

    • The VAR team will check all match-changing situations, but will only intervene for clear and obvious mistakes. The referee can hold up play while a decision is being reviewed.
    • If the VAR review provides clear evidence for a serious mistake in one of the game-changing situations, the VAR can then ask the referee to conduct an on-field review. The final decision can only be taken by the referee.
    • The VAR is also able to take into account any infringement that could have taken place in the immediate build-up to the incident (the attacking phase of play).
    • For 'factual' decisions (e.g. offsides, fouls in or outside the penalty area), the VAR can simply inform the referee of those facts and the on-field view screen isn't needed, but it is always the referee who takes the final decision.
    • The on-field review process will be communicated within the stadium using either the stadium screens or the public announcement system.

    If we’d have been on bbc in the first place, we’d have won in normal time.

    I have. It was a great game, two equally matched teams, but one has to win and I'm happy in the knowledge that the referee and the chaps behind the VAR know far more about football than me.

    I normally only watch international games, so I'm really rather looking forward to tonight.

    The Euros 2020

    To avoid the BBC Scotland or STV commentaries I play the 5 Live radio and mute the TV. Sometimes requires syncing by pausing the screen for a couple of seconds

    Good luck to both teams but I’m going for 2-1 England.

    If you watch the game via iPlayer, you can select the 5 Live commentary as one of the audio sources.

    I just want to wish everyone a very happy footballing evening whoever you support/want to win.

    Whatever the outcome hopefully people will remember that it’s just a game and entertainment for the masses. It does not define countries nor it’s populations.

    I don't really follow football but I heard that one of the Italian players is immobile, so that must help England's chances.

    Not once person has been able to explain why Jensen's "tackle" isn't a foul since I shared this footage.

    Just thinking the same...good job TZ was around in 1966 or 55 years later we would be still arguing if the ball crossed the line.

    Anyway 2-1 to England is my prediction.

    For me the only Italian that would get into the England team is the keeper.
    It all comes down to Southgate, does he send them out to play, or stop the Italians from playing.

    Looking forward to the final now but am avoiding any of the build up - don’t wanna get swept up in the optimism as I do worry we will come up just short (it is England after all). And a pessimist is never disappointed!

    Got to go to be at work for 7.30 in the morning so can’t even numb the nerves with too much beer. It’s gonna be tense. Come on England

    Its not difficult to understand, if the ref gets it wrong the VAR won’t overrule it, they’ll advise but the end decision is still the refs.

    Show me a history book which says that Lampard's shot was not a goal.

    You know what a book is, right? The sort of thing which Nietzsche wrote.

    I think that's a bit below the belt Tony. Just because you don't agree with them doesn't mean that they don't understand the laws of the game.
