Well it is a dive as you state. 'England’s penalty leads to cries of hypocrisy across the continent', land of fair play etc. English lectures on foreigners diving can now be consigned to the bin. A shame the ref, who had a fine game, bottled it on this occasion, add the '2 balls' incident where he did not act either, if it happened to us we would be screaming blue murder. There is a feeling across the continent that England's ride has been 'smoothed out' generally in the euros. I believe it's otherwise known as 'sour grapes'

Little doubt in my mind that he played for the penalty. Happens all the time though and, as much as I despise the practice, it often works against us (England and Palace) so it seems reasonable that we have a decision in our favour. Yes, it's unfortunately part of the game. Theatrics are embedded into the game now to the point where it's a massive disadvantage if you don't go flying to the ground as result of any light or moderate tackle. If we're going to start being whiter than whiter in comparison to other teams, the game against Italy might be the wrong one to do it in considering how they play

It was a foul. There was clear contact (twice) after going past players at pace. Some of you have never played the game if you don’t realise it doesn’t take much to knock you over at speed. Does no one remember Andy Johnson?

Don't give that and we win 1 -0.

The penalty was soft, and the ref should have reacted at the two ball Bad losers are so tiring.

Congratulations! After 2-1 the danish commentators started joking that the only thing which could save us now would be another crazy action from Pickford... What a decent and magnanimous post. Thanks SK.

When "our" Victor Moses got carded for diving, I was saddened but accepted that thems is the rules. You can laud a good result , but diving ruins good football. I thought sterling deserved at least a yellow. Every pundit I watched said it's a blatent dive. And the pundits know more than you dan.
