       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.
       The defender kicking into the attacker as part of
       challenging them for the ball.[/quote]

       Only one player kicks his opponent and it certainly isn't
       Dumfries. Normal attempt at a block and just nothing to see
       until Kane rolls around for twenty minutes to insinuate that
       there was a deliberate kick from his opponent.
       English players tonight were definitely falling around to try to
       get decisions, perhaps the furore unleashed by our media had
       some effect.

       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
       career. I suppose that I was lucky in playing in an era when
       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 ?
