How was that Belgium goal allowed?

 

I get there was a touch from the defender, but come on.

 

That's offside all day.

If the defender made a deliberate play for the ball then it will stand.

It should he their choice and their choice only.

I definitely think it should be their choice BUT I hope they haven’t been coerced

That ain't right.

Neither is Tesco’s prices being cheaper if you’ve got a club card.

Dunno man you backed Russia or something? 

 

Haha no. I want Belgium to win, but the rule makes no sense.

 

The Defender is punished for trying to clear the threat, even though he held his line to play the attacker offside.

Surprised to hear the Russian fans Booing the Belgium players taking the knee...sure they enjoyed Lukaku scoring!

Yeah I didn’t think about it that way actually, I guess the rules are just ****ed.

Mate, go to the Grinds my Gears thread. There's been a significant update 

 

I'm feeling my Clubcard rant is going to haunt me for years.

 

It's not like I lost a dinosaur at the Everton game in 2016

Nah that’s very narrow minded 

Ah ok I'm narrow minded for letting people do what they want rather than forcing them to do what I think is best for them against their wishes. Got ya.

Yeah, they've definitely looked mentally fit to play

I'm surprised anyone is surprised by that.

It is the rules though, although one that I believe is unfair. A similar thing happened with Mings agains Man City this season to the same result. Definitely something that needs addressing.

Ok cool nice one glad you admitted it and we avoided an argument.

Does it matter if that's what they wanted to do. Maybe they felt they needed it out their system.

Have you never been distressed in a situation and made, or wanted to make, a decision which your peers have tried to dissuade you from, or that you came to regret subsequently?

[AyewJoking]

Am I missing something? 

 

Cross goes in and lukaku is offside, is it the rules to wait and see if the defender intervenes but ends up gifting an offside lukaku?

You serious? He’s clearly being sarcastic 

[Super_horns]

I know they will understandably say Denmark were affected by what happened but even before the awful events Finland were defending well and carried it on in this half .

I really respect you as a poster and agree with a lot of your views, but I don't think I will see eye to eye with you on this matter.

[Blarmy]

Whoop, Youri just cocked up. 👍🏽

Keown: "It's not Denmark's day today is it?"

 

You could say that Martin, yes. You absolute melt.

[Koke]

Denmark very slow and passive. They're got far better talent than Finland but just poor second half. Good on Finland and well done to them.

No criticism of Finland. They have done exactly as expected and have done well to stay focused. This could well have ended in a draw if the events hadn't unfolded as they did, but Denmark will never have lost this otherwise.
