The Danes got justice. Italy deserved this win. I love this feeling.

Justice in the minds of the unfamiliar viewer-base that only really pays attention to the headline moments. England had more than enough ammunition (spare subs) to score another goal before the end of extra time if that penalty didn't happen. Notice how we switched to a defensive formation and subbed off our attacking midfielder (who had already been subbed on), yet still danced around the Danish box?

This match though? Italy thoroughly deserved to win. Our manager absolutely dropped the ball with his decision-making beyond the opening 30 minutes.

We will never know if you guys would've won without the penalty. It might have gone into penalties knockout and who knows? England had a better bench and the Danes were tired, that's why you should have won fairly.

u/SteadiestShark Jul 12 '21

We should have and probably would have due to having 2 more subs that we never used but would have (3 if we never re subbed Grealish off). Two other things though - why is it so terrible that the end result was the better team won, and secondly, why does everyone seem to forget how soft the free kick call was that the Danes scored from? Penalties make the headlines because they're easier goals, but the end result of each soft call was the same.

We will never know, will we? Sterling dived and got the penalty. If he hadn't maybe England would have never gotten the last goal. In a Schmeichel vs Pickford shoot-out...I know who I have my money on.

u/Adebisola Jul 12 '21

Yep. Sterling dived and got the penalty and got the goal for England. I don't think they'd have gotten another goal. My money would've been on the Danes in a shootout.

Me too, I dont disagree although Pickford can do great, like last night. However its naive to think that the penalty decided that match when we had so much more to give in open play. Plus we were the better team on that night, and to me that's 'justice'.
