| I just can�t agree. | |
| The defender�s foot is moving near 90 degrees across the way the | |
| attacker is facing / kicking. If the defender was moving some | |
| way towards the attacker as part of the charge down / block then | |
| I would understand it and say maybe you run the risk. | |
| What is this more of? | |
| The attacker kicking into the defender�s foot as part of a | |
| follow through. | |

| Only one player kicks his opponent and it certainly isn't | |

| We (England) have been particularly good at this all tournament. | |
| Going back to the first game, Orsato gave us a lot of very soft | |
| free kicks although I notice he didn�t against Switzerland. | |
| Tonight, penalty aside, I think almost every single 50/50 | |
| decision went in our favour. Not complaining as a fan, but as a | |
| referee, I don�t think he had a good night at all. | |

| It may well be the case that if Zwayer had awarded a penalty, | |
| VAR wouldn't have intervened for an OFR. But I really don't | |
| understand how a no-penalty decision can be seen as a clear and | |
| obvious error. | |
| Thought Zwayer had a very good first half and was ok in the | |
| second until the last 15 minutes when he started to look less | |
| relaxed as things heated up somewhat. | |
| As for the football, England were much improved in that first 45 | |
| minutes, but for a good part of the second half, both teams seem | |
| gave me the impression of not wanting to take any risks and | |
| being prepared for extra time and penalties. A good strike to | |
| win it though. | |

| Please advise how you are supposed to block a shot in that | |
| situation. Having played over 700 games at a decent level and | |
| never once having been cautioned, in spite of being a defender, | |
| I must have been getting away with murder for my 42 year playing | |

| normal contact was accepted as just that and there was no | |
| outside interference because we all accepted the decisions by | |
| the officials, even if we didn't agree with every one. | |
| JUst to clarify, the defender is actually side on to the ball | |
| and it is only because Kane's leg is bent in trying to shoot | |
| that he kicked the defender, | |

| He didn't block the shot. The attacker played the ball. He | |
| didn't touch the ball. He went in studs first, missed the ball, | |
| and put his studs into the attacker's foot. | |
| Having seen plenty of football from the 70s and 80s, you never | |
| being cautioned does not surprise me in the least. Thankfully, | |
| the game has changed. | |

| Was it not Portugal who won the Euros without having won a match | |
| in normal time? | |
| No one looks back and says mediocre, just says winners | |
| If (and its a big IF) we win on Sunday no one will care how | |
| mediocre we have been either | |
| Back to back Euro finals. First major final on foreign soil. | |
| Unbeaten in the Championships - we seem to be doing ok | |

| You can think that, but it�s just not correct and ironically the | |
| picture you have posted rather than painted supports what I have | |
| said (direction of attacker towards centre of goal and direction | |
| of defender towards the technical areas). | |
| A still image in this situation isn�t all that helpful (other | |
| than for point of contact or the point I�ve just made). It | |
| doesn�t show you how the contact came to occur and I note it is | |
| after the point of contact with the ball by the attacker. This | |
| one just a few frames before shows something different and is | |
| still after the ball was struck. | |

| Did you play in the 70s and 80s at any decent level? Just | |
| curious, because the game is still the same and I played through | |
| to 2004 without ever being cautioned, I was also officiating at | |
| a lower level in those days as well and since 2004, with | |
| essentailly the same Laws of the Game. | |
| QUestion which is still relevant is which player actuall kicked | |
| his opponent. IS kickking your opponent not an offence these | |
| days? | |

| Thought Zwayer was quite average, nothing more or less than that | |
| though he seems to have a good rapport with the players. Penalty | |
| was debatable ( I lean to thinking not ) but the protocol for | |
| VAR involvement ( a clear and obvious error ) was trashed. | |
| Imagine the howls of protest if that decision had gone against | |
| England. Most 50:50 decisions went to England. | |
| There are two scenarios; one is that England's name is on this | |
| trophy and so by a mixture of good fortune and fairly uninspired | |
| football but with crucial goals scored, the victory will be | |
| theirs or the luck will run out and hubris will lead to nemesis. | |
| Sunday evening will tell us. I shall be in Paris watching the | |
| match. I wonder who the French will be supporting ? | |
