    It's a perfect example of why those should always be a red, the defender there is highly incentivised to commit deliberate foul play.

    Appalling, appalling piece of legislation.

    Did he just say 'saved Danes bacon'? That doesn't even work. Saved the Danish bacon. Even saved Denmark's bacon would have done.

    Still don't know why Rebic didn't shoot after he slid it past Schmeichel and no fucking clue how that isn't a red.

    I don't like the new rule either but does it really matter? Do you really reckon he wouldn't have done the same?

    It's a great save by Schmeichel and it shouldn't have been a red card for Zanka because he made an attempt to win the ball. The referee got it right.

    Tool.

    Of course it does - now it's been saved, Croatia don't have 5 minutes against 10 men.

    99% sure that is still supposed to be a red card.

    If you make a "reasonable and fair attempt to get the ball" its a yellow. Otherwise a red. That is a "professional foul" as you get and should still be a red.

    By the law I believe Mr Nevin is correct.

    His interpretation of the law is correct. His interpretation of the lads intent is wrong.

    I highly doubt he's gone in trying to win the ball. He's gone in thinking if I take him out there's a lower chance of him scoring.

    You're right, let's outlaw red cards in the last 5 minutes, they make no difference.

    I am just trying to be realistic. I think in this specific game, it really had no impact. It's still a bollocks rule, but I personally don't think it would have changed anything here, based on the match we've seen. Maybe Schmeichel's confidence?

    It's also mental how far off the line Kasper was and the ref didn't order a retake.

    They literally always are. Every now and again a referee decides to clamp down on it but the vast majority of the time it's just ignored.

    There should be a moratorium on left footed penalty takers.

    Last Danish one was a joke. Keeper went the wrong way and then he just booted it straight at him.

    There was like a total of 4-5 good ones out of 22 if you include the previous one. Just horrible.

    Kjaer didn't deserve to go out for his penalty, but Denmark did for that foul. Those should be penalty goals.

    Heroic stuff from that Dane who took Rebic out, and the rule is right (although that was extremely borderline as to playing the ball). It's a good rule. Shame they couldn't follow it up like a proper country and win the shootout. Kjaer took the only decent penalty, but what a beauty it was. Shame they don't give bonus points for style.

    First penalty was also decent I thought, but it was a very good save from Subasic.

    I never thought I'd say it but I'd be inclined to agree. Same for handballs on the line where it was heading in anyway.

    I really want penalty goals. Make a theatrical thing where the ref pings it up to the goal line, does some double-armed signal into the net, then points back to the centre circle as all 11 defenders seethe at him.

    Problem with that idea is that, once a striker gets beyond the last man, the defender will just give up.
