@LadyJ Sterling never getting a yellow for simulation after what, 6 dives? Jorginho almost out after the start due to a contact, Chiesa (literally our best chance for a 2-1 before the pens) out due to a contact too, and the ref was on our side for what, a pulled shirt? Which game have you watched?
@LadyJ "Not blind" is a mere opinion too. But enlighten me, how many English players have you counted going out after a contact? I personally counted zero, and one Italian, almost two.
@Elessar Of course diving/simulation/time wasting is something Italian football is not famous for. They'd never do it [media=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUF2oTy8BVA]
@romper69 Was that yesterday's game? Who dived, among the Italian team, in yesterday's final? Who was trying to slow/waste the game after scoring 1-0 yesterday?
@Elessar If it was six times wouldn't he have been booked. But of course..the ref must ave been on England's side. But then why wasn't Jorginho given a red for his tackle on Grealish? Maybe Jorginho himself simulating being hurt after helped.
@romper69 The ref simply allowed the game to continue and just didn't award you a penalty any time he dived in the box. They weren't booked but they didn't lead to a penalty either, and in one instance he was visibly annoyed by the thing. And a lot of other more or less minor fouls were simply ignored by the ref, for both teams, or do you realistically think that Chiesa faked a bleeding ankle out of the game?
