I think the problem with such decision is that in real time it looks as if the defender was trying to challenge Kane and win the ball, but when you look at it in slow-mo, it looks a pen. But the defender kicked at speed, not in slow-mo.
Interesting that the ITV ref didn't think it was a pen.

Soft but stupid of the defender to turn his back while sticking his studs up.

Foden and Mainoo have linked up well here. Saka’s playing like a man possessed as well.
Walker and Rice not been as good and Bellingham been anonymous

Foden's looking lively!
Listening to a podcast earlier and they were saying how Foden and Bellingham would benefit the most from the way the Dutch set up and there'll be plenty of space between the defence and midfield for them to get into.

Not just saying this because it's England (he irritated me before) but fancy having mccoist on comms. Insipid, and desperate for us to lose. They didn't have 3 on last night did they? If you have to, get a Dutch guy on. I've enjoyed his commentary before and he's been absolutely fine tonight

Best half of the tournament by a mile.

Only criticism for this half is trippier limitations. Been a few times there been acres down that side. Only a mild complaint from a dominant 1st half.

Very strange feeling when you support both sides. England definitely the better of the two sides, plenty of movement with and without the ball, also disappointed in the lack of press from Holland. Would have been a travesty for England to go into the break losing... but that penalty decision was also an absolute travesty.

See - play quick, fluid, pretty football and we’re no better off than we were in previous games.
Back to the boring stuff please Gareth!

Good half. Get Trippier off for Shaw and I’d have Kane off with one of Toney or Watkins on and I think we’d win quite comfortably. Got them hemmed in their own half. Foden and Mainoo best players out there.
