It'll be on at home in the background, I expect a dull slow match with more passing backwards than forwards (75% of play to be within their own half) with no more than 6 attempt's at a goal by England.

I'm hoping for a win, but only because then I get into the pay-out tier in the office sweepstake

I reckon more of the same if no early goals, then subs later. If Holland score early on, then maybe we get a better game.

He may prove that shit football wins. 🤷‍♂️

I just can't see how it's ever even remotely a penalty. Using this logic it's impossible for a defender to ever tackle it even attempt to do so.

Only reason I can think of is the high foot rule. But wasn't that bad.

Never mind 😉

Wasn't a pen in my book, what's he supposed to do, give him a free shot. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Much better though. 👍

After seeing it a few times, the defender's foot was stationary.
Kane kicked his studs.

Studs up on a high kick and contact made = penalty. Nice to see VAR work for us for once.
