England has better players, the match was even.
But the penalty was a disgrace. You can give 10 penalties in every match if that's a foul. All the stuff that happens in a penalty area and they chose this to give a penalty. And a lot of small decisions were all in favour of England. In a tight match that makes the difference.
No point trying to compete in a tournament as a smaller nation.

And hands by Saka btw before the penalty. Not that I think these kind of hands balls should be penalized. But Uefa was so proud to show that sensor that can help detecting these bullshit handsballs. But that sensor was mallfunctioning now or something. Also the "foul" by Dumfries looks even less obvious from this angle.

Th dutch side isn't good enough though to win the title and they had a lucky draw getting to the semi final in the first place. England would have won this match 80% of the times i guess. But England was out of the game before the penalty and in second half just so much on sided dubious descisions.

But thb it's getting realy annoying to watch. It's not just this match and it's also a thing in club football. Refs favour the bigger team and the weirdest VAR descisions are often decisive. It's no coincidence that all the big teams went through with shit defensive football. It feels staged.

I didn't watch the match. I was snoring on alcohol. I did myself a favour.

Edit: About the VAR, it was introduced to increase fair ruling, practically it doesn't always work.

I think the penalty could have been given, but why did var even check it? and yes, before that it was handball. UEFA probably wants England to win the European Championship. Sadly it will be a boring final, like 3:0 for Spain Crying or Very sad

Meanwhile the British are rushing to Berlin (history repeating?) for the final they are going to lose.

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cv2gnrydm7xo

'We're flying to Poland' - England fans scramble to reach Berlin for final

Quote:
England’s Euro 2024 success has prompted a rush of fans attempting to make the last-minute journey to Berlin for the final against Spain on Sunday.

But with prices having increased dramatically after the semi-final and many attempting to get tickets, the task for fans determined to get to Germany is anything but simple.

The first hurdle for those hoping to watch Sunday’s match in person is securing a ticket. The game is sold out on Uefa’s website. The FA's allocation of tickets, available only to England Supporters Travel Club members who have attended games abroad and earned caps or loyalty points, goes on sale on Friday after a ballot.

Fans desperate to see the final live are being warned that tickets bought from unauthorised third parties may be cancelled. Tickets are being resold via some agencies from £1,300 for "cheap" seats, while VIP packages are going for £67,000. But Uefa says tickets purchased through secondary markets may be “fraudulent”.

...

Next is the not-insignificant task of getting to Berlin. The usual option would be a two-hour flight from the UK, but the cost rose dramatically following England’s win in the semi-final.

A KLM flight from Manchester to Berlin Brandenburg via Amsterdam on 13 July was listed at £954 on Thursday - compared to £223 a week later.

Congrats to Spain! By far the best team in Euro. As for England...trying to steal the cup by playing the way they did in most of their games, not gonna work. They should have put more effort instead of playing safe. GG Spain!

I'm glad the best team wins the title. 7 matches 7 wins, not a single penalty shootout.

Match was way more difficult than I expected for Spain, but England needs to replace their coach sooner than later before the next WC, they're wasting away a brilliant cohort of players.

Kane is such a loser and fraud. Southgate is a fraud. Saka is a diving queen.

England genuinely thought they could get away with playing speculative basic anti-football every single game, it's almost impressive in its own stubborn way. Kudos to Spain for being the most aesthetically pleasing team of the tournament by far despite the Cucudrama and various Morata-isms, they thoroughly deserved to be winrars. And the team is young as well..they have the potential to start another cycle, dammit.
