Kicking your opponents knee is not a free kick, it's a yellow card. Simulation is also a yellow card. Kane should have been sent of right there. Also, Kane should have gotten probably 10 yellows for diving throughout the tournament, but he constantly got free kicks. The evidence is staggering. The tournament has been FIXED

Na because those free kicks are given so ref doesn't get it wrong often. Not if its game changing. If it is a player on a yellow anywhere on field it's not given. Game changing. If Spain get a soft pen you will be fuming

@@johnkeohane4239 I said it’s “never a penalty” what more do you want!?

Great point

@@marvellis6762 and so Gareth will stay as maneger and bring the British teams games down ??

Every team gets a bit of luck to win trophies, last night it was England´s turn which it hasn´t been in the past.

Simple penalty, don't tackle with your studs up.

He didn't.

Okay. So you can go studs up on somebody's ankle and all is just gravy and good? It's a foul and dangerous play.

Prior to that, Kane received the ball from Saka, and Saka made a handball. Totally denied by that referee that look at ALL images. And what about the VAR? Also denying the handball of Saka prior to Saka playing to Kane? Ex top referee Erikkson said it was a handball and should never have been a penalty. And many defenders (top-level, and even at the English side like Roy Keane and said it was a total disgrace this referee due to this). Also top level referees are saying this was not a penalty, UEFA is now evaluating this referee and looking at his matchfixing conviction prior to this match. This is recognized internationally as a VAR-scandal, and that of that corrupt referee. The referee had previously been convicted of match fixing. Is such a referee still allowed to referee a professional match? And then a semi-final. What use are FairPlay rules, prices and slogans then? And it wasn't a penalty (even in England, chastened defenders say that on TV channels), because it was a block and Kane had already taken the shot (it was his swing, not a kick from Dumfries, so it was theater from Kane). but to go one step further, and this is hardly mentioned anywhere, but this was pointed out by former top referee Erikkson (Denmark): Saka made hands just prior to Kane's shot. Kane hit the ball to Kane and he struck out. The referee should have just blown the whistle there. Could VAR have deliberately left out this image of the handball? Or was that referee doing match fixing again? And why was he off the field so quickly after the match? Also unusual. In the 2022 World Cup for the Dutch Team out due to a handball from Messi (unpunished but later match winner), in the 2014 World Cup against Spain an unjustified penalty (was the Spaniard who tapped De Vrij?!?), but fortunately not decisive. This takes away the appeal of watching football. Maybe football should become like golf, in that you play with a handicap. and we immediately know which countries have privileged positions.

When are these snowflakes gonna ban grass pitches for fear of grass cuts! A defender looks like he wants to block a shot. Arrest him it's GBH. What the hell is happening to the game.

Agreed

@@zanirebrahim4629exactly. It’s like people forget that it’s a contact sport played by men. But this is what happens when u have a bunch of people who don’t understand the mechanics of the game being in charge or refereeing it.

@@broca246 you are absolutely right mate. And it was Kane who caught the defender with his follow through.

SAKA hands the ball 5 seconds b4 the clash between Kane and Dumfriess so no penalty

His studs were up but angled away from Kane. It was soft.

But but .... Saka made a handball prior to kicking the ball to Kane. Foul play! And why in the premier league those kind of actions are not even a yellow card worthy? It is a bloody shame. That referee has a track record of matchfixing and is already convicted to that prior to this match. Kane should have never allowed to kick that ball. And Dumfries ... just set a block, he was not kicking. Not at all. You can only say that with an English cap on. Internationally, this penalty is recognized as a VAR-scandal. It is all over the world. Have fun with playing the final, based on a scandal. A bloody shame to UEFA and FIFA, that are promoting FairPlay. A shame on you.

The Spanish do it The Italians do it The Portuguese do it The Brazilians do it The Argentinean players do it... And what do they all have in common? They all won something . We need to be nasty , we need to play dirty because we'll behaves teams never win anything . Suck it up and blame the Spanish for always doing it in la liga, CL and major tournaments

Kane has been doing it his whole career. It's pathetic.

There the ref would never give it. The match fixing in European football is real, the evidence over recent years is staggering

Knowing the rules !

Kane kicked the bottom of his foot. Was the defender supposed to just let him take an open shot ? Football is a contact sport not a ballerina show.

Kane didn't get kicked. Kane kicked the defender with his follow through. Otherwise no problem. Well, apart from the referee being a match fixer. Total nonsense.

It was a free kick if it was the mid of the pitch, but it defo wasn't a penalty just cause it was in the box. We got lucky in a tournament for once. I'll take that.

It was a clear foul and thus a penalty. Studs up and follow-through directly into Kane, not the ball = FOUL.

Ea24 agrees

agree

Saka made hands twice 5 seconds earlier

He was right M8 , it was never a penalty ! It was from a previously bribed ref FFS

I would just like to apologise to Harry on behalf of the defenders union. Sorry for not letting you have a nice shot on target. We will roll out the red carpet next time. The contact was because of Kane's follow through. He actually kicked the defender.

Stoods up? Well, must be then in that case. Clown.

How can it be a penalty when Saka made hands twice 5 seconds earlier?

@@freethinker0409 Just because a ball touches a player's hand or arm doesn't make it a handball... There was clearly no handball by Saka because his arm was in a natural position and the ball collided with it through no fault of his or his team.

@@PBurn88 man literally touched it with both hands and changed the direction of the ball

​@@freethinker0409 I don't think it touched his right arm, only his left. Checked a replay but it's difficult to tell. Not that it would matter though, doesn't change what I said. Whether it changed the direction of the ball or not is irrelevant, that still isn't handball. If your arm is in a natural position and the ball collides against it, then it's not handball. That's how the rules of the game work.

😂😂😂😂😂

🧂😭🧂😭🧂 You going to make another 100 comments saying the same thing over and over again today like usual? Amazing how quiet you were last night

I'll never understand why people think 1966 was a robbery when England would have still won without that goal. But they are silent on the hand of god, or that 2010 disallowed goal, or Simeone's dive, or anything else. By the way the actual robbery was 1970, the first time Germany managed to beat England and they needed the ref to do it.

It’s so obvious you’ve never played and kicked someone’s studs! Hurts like hell

Kane and Bellingham are proper cheats. They always dive and trying to con the ref and it works every single time.

@@Bert-lw1ot So if I kick someone's studs and the ball was in a position like that , then both whent for the ball , but in 20 seconds I'm able and ready to blast the ball wherever???
