Gutted for the Danes, man. How is Oliver your best ref.

He’s just following the recent tradition of English refereeing at major tournaments.  Of course, it’s unlikely any referee will top Graham Poll needing to show three yellow cards before sending off Simunic at 2006.  That high watermark is surely too difficult to top

He did; he could’ve waved a couple of red cards that day.  But he’d learned from Graham Poll that showing cards willy-nilly can end up making you look a right twat.

 

Mind you, I don’t think any of those tops Clive Thomas blowing up as Zico heads the ball into the net from a last gasp corner vs Sweden.  But he’s Welsh, so they can take the brunt on that one

Do we blame Southgate for not getting musiala to play for England senior team? Just needed to pick him once. 

I do :)

 

Probably too many years of playing Champ Man and immediately capping dual-national youngsters.  Though in this instance Musiala was always highly rated
