So the Turkish player gets banned and misses his teams QF for making an offensive gesture yet Bellingham gets a suspended one game ban for his?

Toney? I think he's right. Bringing a striker on with a minute to go was a ridiculous thing to do. Should've been on 25 minutes earlier. They were genuinely dreadful for 95 minutes and very lucky to still be in it.

It happens in many matches, even at ER, hoping for a lucky break in time added on or wasting time depending on the circumstances.. Players know this so a bit of attention seeking IMO. Toney has done nowt since returning after his betting ban so lucky to be there at all.

One was glorifying an extremist group, the other was a childish gesture.

They obviously deemed it bad enough to fine him £30k and give him a suspended ban?

Childish or not he’s a role model to millions and can you imagine the carnage when the kids are running about grabbing their groins and gesturing the opposition team

Wonder what would happen if we did something like that to a group of passer-by’s on a Saturday night after a few beers! 🫣

You just know he’s going to play a blinder in their next game.

Seems incredibly harsh for Demiral to get a ban after scoring two goals

You find me a team 1-0 down bringing on a 2nd striker with 90 seconds to play, at ER, in the last 20 years. That does not happen often. It was a ridiculous sub. Should've been on much earlier.

Toney is a great option off the bench, as he showed.

Not sure I'd call it just childish. It's a fairly offensive thing to do especially when you consider the influence someone like Bellingham has amongst kids.

Didn't some Hearts weirdo do the crotch-grabbing thing to us after scoring at Tynecastle a few years' back?

Was always very strange he got no sanction for that

That Germany flag training top is a thing of beauty. 👏

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

I remember in the early 90s I had a Green Germany strip with the colours of the German flag across the sleeves, a work of art.

Its got the added political element, which is just a no-go for the beaks, whateve you think about that position its well-known now.

Totally get that it just seems one rule for one and another rules for others!

[Aldo]

That’s a yellow for Kroos there surely

Replay does show he nicks the ball with his toe

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

English refs hopeless as usual, clear booking there

Pedri nailed about 3 times and subbed of injured after 7 minutes. Somehow no German booking yet.

2 potentially bookable offences by Kroos too

[GreenCastle]

Why are the English refs so bad?

[HH81]

Spain in command.

Should be at least 1 up.

Yeah, poor refereeing, it doesn't matter if it's the first minute or the last minute, a booking is a booking.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Germany seem to have settled in to the game now.

[pollution]

No corner ?

[MWHIBBIES]

Too many good keepers at this tournament. Standard is exceptional. Needs a few Zibis to spice things up.
