This is how the game is played, sometimes refs are making the game and that’s football as well. They played exceptionally well and we are proud of Oranje.
This referee was a disgrace to his profession. So many bad incorrect decisions against the Netherlands. The big countries must win. Commercial interests rule. That's why I hardly ever watch football anymore. Completely disillusioned, I dropped out and that has now been reconfirmed.

Did they take the throw in that Bellingham scored in the dying seconds from did they bend one in from outside the edge of the box to level against Switzerland did they lay it off to Watkins to score the winner don't talk rubbish van dijk even says the referee did well in the Romain game. I'm English it was a soft penalty but you take them when they come because not always are you awarded them when you should be
As a Dutchy I have to say I am fed up with these questionable decisions backed up by the VAR....... It should improve the game, not kill it.... Possibility to overrule the ref if he is wrong!
Anywhere else on the pitch it was a foul and free kick so inside the box it's a penalty. Do you know the rules of the game or have you just woke up from a coma? Get over it. It happens this time you lost next time you may get a penalty and change the course of the game.
Dutch myself, dispite that it was questionable decision, I believe thats more on VAR. But England would proberly have scored the equalizer anyway. Fed up its scored like that in 90st min. But neither teams actually have great odds against Spain anyway
The penalty was ridiculous, the ref was ridiculous and the substitutes Koeman made were ridiculous. What's done is done, well played to England and good luck in the finals.
@@LegitScott You know this guy was busted for match-fixing? Never should have blown a wistle again at any game, let alone the semi finals of a championschip!
It's crazy. Apart from the penalty incident even, there were so many challenges on midfeild that the ref just gave a foul when nothing was happening. Like he didnt know the difference between a fair challenge and a foul and just whistled everytime. During the cross when van Dijk got yellow, it was clear that the ref was completely lost. didnt know what to do. Amazing at this level. Any germans who know this ref? is he always so shitty?
The ref was a disaster, in the days before the game we all could read that the english players were not happy with him for this game as they were afraid he would be for the Dutch. So in fact the manipulation of this man already started days before the game. He must have thought "I will show the english players that I am not." Add the fact that this German individual is a Bayern Munich fan it's a 1 + 1 when Munichs striker Kane does the "dieing swan act," rolling over the grass, pretending to be severely injured, but completely fit to take the penalty himself, you too are a disgrace mr. Kane !

German ref didn't see handball in the box from an English player just before Kane dove, just before English second goal he whistled for a dive from an English player while the Dutch had a dangerous outbreak. Ref literally created both English goals and the last 30 minutes of the match was like a personal vendetta against the Dutch from the ref. Never seen something like that, ever.

Dutchman here: England played well and I think they deserved to win but we've gotta admit that this referee was fucking horrible. Many decisions did not make sense. I think game would've been different if it wasn't for that penalty.
@@dinand935 England, Koeman dragged David platt down when he was through on goal which was a blatant red card, and then scored to prevent us from going to the World Cup
As England you also don’t want to win this way right? Football is being destroyed and we have to stand to gather and not take the bullshit to save the sport. I have no fun anymore I’m watching like this. Last time Argentinië needed to win. It’s horrible to live in a world like this.
Football used to be my sport - I was a player, a coach, a fan and even a ref, but the game is ruined. 2010 World Cup - Uruguay vs Ghana game was a turning point for me. My love for the game died during that World Cup with the last blow in the final. Within a year I had stopped coaching, stopped following domestic leagues and stopped playing. Every so often I try to enjoy football - picking the occasional tournament, like EURO2024, to follow - only to realise that the once beautiful game has continued to down its path to total corruption.
I agree with you 100%. Losing to England is not so hard to accept. Never felt any negative emotions towards them. Losing to injustice decisions really hurts. The English know, they haven’t forgotten Lampard’s goal against Germany.
Proud of our Dutch warriors, they have performed beyond our expectations. There are a lot of good takeaways for the future. Xavi 🙏, Schouten - stepping up and making us forget that we did not have Frenkie, Veerman - you redeemed yourself so fantastic, DeVrij - awesome, our relentless and beyond awesome defenders Ake and Van Dijk 🙏🙏, Gakpo - what a warrior you are, Dumfries - no one works harder, Malen, Rijnders, VD Ven, 🙏🙏 DePay - love you, hope your injury will not be too bad, Zirkzee and Frimpong, together with Maatsen … we have so much to look forward to. Yes, we could, should, would but more important- you DID! thanks for giving us an unforgettable EM. No one, no referee, VAR, team, media or the occasional keyboard wannabe pundit can take what you did away from you. Proud of my team - 🧡🧡🧡🧡 always! Good luck to England and Spain.
If that pen was given the other way, i'd be furious. Happy we're in the finals, but that was a terrible decision. Bad luck to Dutch, you were a good team 👍
First was the Spain vs German and second is England vs Holland both cases penalty issue German didn't get it but England got it even with VAR the referee still has to make the final decisions so referee have to make the difficult decisions.
How the F are you going to ask a player who just lost a semi-final about match fixing? Virgil was calm about the loaded question. Kudos to him. Degenerative journalist.
A professional football player on and off the pitch well done in keeping it cool as the media press tries to convince you that it was probably unfair, but you handled it well. Bravo
England showed the first half for 30 minutes what they are capable off if the chains are unlocked (first time this tournament), As a big Dutch fan (born there :) i have to admit i even enjoyed the finesse and quality of play from England that time. The Dutch team got control back due to tactical changes on the midfield by the staff (Veerman on the left). The second half was a tie, with a great goal in the 90 min which hurts a lot. The only thing i have to say of the referee: he made some blunders. I hope the final will be a great game, if the English team unchains itself from the rigid "god knows what" they have a good chance to win against Spain, otherwise it can become very painfull for England in their last game of the tournament. Congratulations for the victory, you all real englisch socces fans, have a good one , Peace.
As a Dutcm man i find it still a penalty. For this reason: Kane and Dumfries both went for the ball. However Kane hit the ball and Denzel missed the ball. They had contact and the one that has a higher leg is the one that gets punished. This is how the sport is. In any other area Kane would get a free kick and Denzel en Yellow card. It was in the box so the only conclusion was a penalty. When the lads watch the incident again most of them will see that. If we were on that spot we would react the same. Unfortunate contcats do not make the difference whether it's a foul or not. But the hands ball from the English guy i believe Saka should have been reviewd by the var and given a penalty as well for sure because we got one against us as well. Saka got it on his arm twice. And the ball has a sensor. So i don't get it. But England won fair and were better. Koeman better should look into the mirror why the always failing Depay can stay in the game. And more players that were ready to be substituted.
Second time netherland got robbed. Against argentina and now in the semi finals. Matchfixing for sure and what a disgrace. Penalty for blocking the ball and kane's shoe kicked ball and shoe of dumbfries. Meanwhile fifa is proclaming fair play. Something must be done to these referee decisions and only a bullit will fixed this injustice.
I really don't like when people make excuse of fixed or rigged games after losing. People makes assumption and leave the public affected by it without any further investigation. Virgil is a sportsman.
Match was totally fixed , i didn't see any protest against the penalty by Netherlands like they always do . They were super chill Plus how in hell is that a penalty Dumfries trying to put the block and it was kane who kicked his foot while taking a shot And to officiate a match by the refree who was banned for match fixing is outrageous Football is dead
They didn't protest like they usually do because what's the point? It can even get you in trouble, see the yellow card against Virgil later in the game.
And for what reason was that yellow card on Virgil?! Wasn't there an objection because there was a penalty kick on Declan Rice, who grabbed Aki in the Roman style of wrestling and shot him to the ground? Or do you not see these things?
England were the better team overall and came out deserved winners. They simply created more chances and had more shots on goal. The pen was a bit soft, but Dumfries went in high with studs up and caught Kane. Admittedly he was only trying to block the ball, but if you go in high with studs up on most areas on the pitch, it's a foul. Even if you don't make contact they still call it for dangerous play when you jump in high with studs up. The ref didn't give it initially. It was the VAR refs that told him to have another look.
The match was not fixed but the decision by the Ref to call a foul a min before the goal when Guheri fell and the Dutch Winger had broken on the right flank was terrible as was the obvious Stones corner in the 86th min..I agree about the pen as well,people who comment on it simply don't grasp that Kane struck his foot against Dumfries not the other way around...He had every right to block that shot and no other English player called for a penalty...I thought straight away it was not a penalty...
The penalty was early in the game and it was the 1:1....that penalty did not change anything, there was enough time to score a second goal but not enough good chances and conceded the second goal in the last minute, no time to react ...the referee was definitely not to blame.
Thank you V.A.R, I guess I have to say that as a Dutch fan. The penalty was a piss poor given penalty, awefull mistake by V.A.R. because I don't think it was one. Can you say the Dutch missed out the finals because of the penalty? I don't think so, the Dutch were certainly not clinical enough. They should have scored more during this tournament, we lack a killer in front of the goal. England congratulations with the late winner, and maybe it is time to replace Kane. I think he was poor to say the least in this tournament. Goodluck with your next opponent, Spain. Again, congratulations England!
replace kane.. bruh he is not depay who needs to be replaced. kane is same age as depay while kane scores a min goals of 20 each season while 20 is the most depay EVER scored in a season lol.. also kane is worth like 112mil while depay is worth 12m.. even atletico madrid didnt even renew his contract because he is so trash..lol
@danlondon4588 Everone knows there is a clear difference. For example everybody is also holding in the box on corners and freekick. These would all be cards outside the box. If we fouled the same there would be 4 yellows after every corner. Fouls inside and outside the box are judged different.
Was a close game and felt we were incredibly lucky to get that penalty! Netherlands played well and it could have gone either way! These Journalists are clowns just trying to get a sound bite from Virgil to villainise him in the English Press for when he gets back home! Well done Virgil for not biting! Netherlands are well overdue a trophy with the footballing legacy they have and I’m sure I’ll see them lift one in my lifetime! 👏🏻👏🏻
Nahh you deserved it man. Could’ve been 2-1 or 3-1 up at half time and in the second half we didn’t have enough going forward and you have too many players who can decide a match. Well deserved for England. First game you played good football and if you do that you can beat anybody. Good luck in the final, although I’m rooting for Spain 😇
Respect to big Virg. Legend. Tough luck, but he took that well, given the mix of emotions after that match. Come back strong for LfC virg - we will need you to go again.
I, m dutch and it's a shame what that revere (var) did. I think it's matchfixed. But at the end spain is the best. Engeland has a bad lazy team, also the dutch...
Brother I think you should take that back go watch the history of Netherlands vs Spain , Netherlands proved so many times how much better they are and you can see to as well every tournament they got robbed specially WC 2010
If I was the defender involved I would give Virgil an earful for not telling the world it wasn't a penalty and wouldn't pay with Holland as long as Virgil was in the team.
100% matchfixing.. Ake and Xavi Simons were literally wrestled to the ground during the last free kick and corner. Stones hit the ball on the head which should have been a corner for the Netherlands. Penalty was debateable.. normally it would go down as a challenge for the ball as it already had been kicked at the goal and Kane was the one that hit Dumfries foot instead of Dumfries hitting Kane. And Gakpa was taken out during a counter and then Netherlands lost the ball it was weirdest advantage i ever seen in football history.
I prefer Bellingham style. Just called it what it is; matchfixing. I know Bellingham got 40 thousand dollars fine for saying it (what is absolutely ridiculous and shows how much corruption there is) but why are they so worried about the money? So disappointing. They make so much money. It’s so weak. The footballers are not at all hero’s.
"Called what it is"... Come on, mate, be serious. There is no proof that there was matchfixing. I know, remarks based on evidence have become really unpopular these days, but really, if you make such a bold statement you will have to come with rock solid evidence. And no, not just "I know" or "I heard". Evidence that could stand in a court.
i never saw a decission like this in the past 40 years of my football career. Big mistake of the ref with huge consequences, unacceptable imo ... uefa maffia
like the penalty from england gets against denmark in the semi final 2021 ..and that was also the (dutch) VAR who take a unbelieveable decision ..i have the feeling the they are all egotrippers behind the screen and wants to be famous by this kind of stupid decisions, who destroys real foorball ..the ref didn't react here after the kick of Kane it was the VAR again ..
unfortunately england didn't create a single opportunity without a bad call england was dogshit spain is gonna give is the first double digits scoreline on a euro finals this sunday england won't do shit dogshit team dogshit coutnry dogshit supporters
They should've never let that ref on another match with Bellingham in it. Even if he was just bad, their history means there will be these questions about integrity. UEFA sent Makkelie home after Croatia - Spain for the added time and controversy around that. If they are so keen on smothering integrity questions why the hell did Zwayer ref this match in the first place?
English and Dutch are extremely closely related linguistically. Anglo Saxons migrated from what is now Netherlands and both languages later acquired a very strong influence from French. So, English is really easy for Dutch speakers to learn.
Cause English is a world language. You could ask these questions to a 10 year old Dutch kid, and get coherent, factual answers in. English. Congratulations to England by the way. Gonna be one hell of a final. Let's celebrate football together.
Dutch culture is very easy with adopting new languages. I think 95% of the people here are bilingual, many trilingual in various degrees fluency. We're officially the most proficient English speakers of countries that don't have English as a native language. I myself speak Dutch, English and German, and to a lesser extend Spanish and French. And no, I'm not a "language person".... I never liked languages. My daughter is 5 and speaks Dutch, Spanish and English. But thats a bit of an unfair example because she has grown up with her parents speaking those 3 languages at home to her and each other :-)
As a Dutch, hungover and annoyed, I'll give my two cents about the match: A) Bad referee B) Subpar Dutch performance; England performed better Back to bed I go
Dutch here. It wasn't a penalty, England are lucky with it. Sometimes things go well, sometimes things go wrong. No hatred for England. They can't help but be lucky for once.
How is it not a penalty? Defender went in, studs up, didn't touch the ball, and made contact with the opponent. Please, explain why that's not a penalty
@@jamieisausernameThe shot was already taken and wasn't hindered by the contact by Dumfries that came in Kane's follow through. There is no doubt contact but Kane already took the shot so there shouldn't have been a foul.
@@jamieisausername There's obviously contact, even a blind man knows there's contact. But the ball had completely left Kane's foot before the contact was made, therefore the contact had no impact on the play and therefore shouldn't be a penalty. By definiton, they are also kicking eachother, not just Dumfries kicking Kane. Micromanaging football with Var and changing what was just a shot over the bar into a penalty is why people get fed up with it.
Dont be to hard on Virgil. After the game the emotions run hard. England was a little better during the whole game but they didi not create much chanches either. Bitvat the end they deserved it more.
Very proud of my newly adopted home. The Dutch have absolutely done themselves proud even in defeat. The ball is round and VAR has gone too far. Someone needs to save football from this overeach of power. If that's a penalty no Defenders can ever clear 50/50 balls inside the penalty box anymore. Interpretation of both the hand ball rule and the dangerous play rule needs emergency revision.
virgil : you want me to get in trouble ?? meanwhile drogba: ITS A FCKING DISGRACE in the ref his face and in the carmera he didnt care and he was right about it hahahaha
The ref dominated midfield, set up intrivate passes with thrusting energy. Don't even get me started on the ball the ref played through to himself that the he then buried to win the game.
@@harrybarker4370talking about rules. Obvious handball by english player just before delivering ball to Kane. Be fair guys. I dont even mention the other clear mistakes the ref took in advantage for England. This ref was a total joke.
Spain got helped by Referees against germany. UEFA also rigged the Bayern vs Real Madrid match when they falsely ruled out De Ligt's goal as offside. When are we gonna wake up and realize UEFA is corrupt? How can a ref that got investigated for match fixing be anywhere near a semi final
Doesn’t matter whether you support Spain 1,000 per cent. It’s the Spanish players against the English players that will decide it. Spain will win it in terms of artistic impression, but England will win it where it really matters, on the scoreline.
From Uk great admirer of Virgil he spoke well but despite the controversial penalty England overall were the better team on the day and deserved to win.
Omdat Malen niet zo slim is als Kane. Hij had moeten acteren, net zoals Kane. Dan gaat de VAR pas kijken. Maar die scheids staat bekend om match fixing schijnt.
Know any good places in Liverpool to watch the final? I'm a Dutch fan supporting Liverpool, and wondering if the ambiance is any good in Liverpool during Euro finals?
In 1982 West Germany and Austria "played" out a draw which ensured both teams went threw. Neither looked interetsed in scoring through out the entire game.
He is a confident and calm person but I do not appreciate the people who only talks about injustice when it happens to them but acts like nothing happened when the referee helps them to win. Netherlands won many matches with the help of referee mistakes in the history , mostly against smaller and less influential countries.

@@dinand935 England, Koeman dragged David platt down when he was through on goal which was a blatant red card, and then scored to prevent us from going to the World Cup
I’m happy England went through but that was never a penalty.
Very well composed from Virgil van Dijk.
Matchfixing.. Awfull how a ref can screw up a semi final..
I thought that Virgil comments were very polite and very restrained. A proper gentleman even in defeat.
Previous time the ref got 300,- to whisle likethat.
I geuss this time he got 350 ,-or so.
It's always easy to win if u got the ref as your 12th man.
As England you also don’t want to win this way right? Football is being destroyed and we have to stand to gather and not take the bullshit to save the sport. I have no fun anymore I’m watching like this. Last time Argentinië needed to win. It’s horrible to live in a world like this.
Argentina at least were winning a number of their games handsomely. England it's just one-goal wins, penalties, extra time...
Football used to be my sport - I was a player, a coach, a fan and even a ref, but the game is ruined. 2010 World Cup - Uruguay vs Ghana game was a turning point for me. My love for the game died during that World Cup with the last blow in the final. Within a year I had stopped coaching, stopped following domestic leagues and stopped playing. Every so often I try to enjoy football - picking the occasional tournament, like EURO2024, to follow - only to realise that the once beautiful game has continued to down its path to total corruption.
I agree with you 100%. Losing to England is not so hard to accept. Never felt any negative emotions towards them. Losing to injustice decisions really hurts. The English know, they haven’t forgotten Lampard’s goal against Germany.
Proud of our Dutch warriors, they have performed beyond our expectations. There are a lot of good takeaways for the future. Xavi 🙏, Schouten - stepping up and making us forget that we did not have Frenkie, Veerman - you redeemed yourself so fantastic, DeVrij - awesome, our relentless and beyond awesome defenders Ake and Van Dijk 🙏🙏, Gakpo - what a warrior you are, Dumfries - no one works harder, Malen, Rijnders, VD Ven, 🙏🙏 DePay - love you, hope your injury will not be too bad, Zirkzee and Frimpong, together with Maatsen … we have so much to look forward to. Yes, we could, should, would but more important- you DID! thanks for giving us an unforgettable EM. No one, no referee, VAR, team, media or the occasional keyboard wannabe pundit can take what you did away from you. Proud of my team - 🧡🧡🧡🧡 always! Good luck to England and Spain.

Virgil had his big boys trousers on, unlike the bloke interviewing him.
If that pen was given the other way, i'd be furious. Happy we're in the finals, but that was a terrible decision. Bad luck to Dutch, you were a good team 👍
First was the Spain vs German and second is England vs Holland both cases penalty issue German didn't get it but England got it even with VAR the referee still has to make the final decisions so referee have to make the difficult decisions.
How the F are you going to ask a player who just lost a semi-final about match fixing? Virgil was calm about the loaded question. Kudos to him. Degenerative journalist.
Wow, until now I didn't realise that van Dijk was so level-headed. Fair play to him.
A professional football player on and off the pitch well done in keeping it cool as the media press tries to convince you that it was probably unfair, but you handled it well. Bravo
England showed the first half for 30 minutes what they are capable off if the chains are unlocked (first time this tournament), As a big Dutch fan (born there :) i have to admit i even enjoyed the finesse and quality of play from England that time. The Dutch team got control back due to tactical changes on the midfield by the staff (Veerman on the left). The second half was a tie, with a great goal in the 90 min which hurts a lot. The only thing i have to say of the referee: he made some blunders. I hope the final will be a great game, if the English team unchains itself from the rigid "god knows what" they have a good chance to win against Spain, otherwise it can become very painfull for England in their last game of the tournament. Congratulations for the victory, you all real englisch socces fans, have a good one , Peace.
Match fixing is what we said during the game without ever heard of his record.
Virgil is a true professional bless him, even though the ref and one of the reporters towards the end of his interview tested his patience.
Virgil is a cool dude he must be very angry but he still keeps calm Liverpools #1 CB as a Leicester City fan YNWA
Too cool according to the Dutch. They wanna see more effort from him.
Fair play to virg for not rising to certain questions
A great example of a truly great player on and off the pitch.....
As a Dutcm man i find it still a penalty. For this reason: Kane and Dumfries both went for the ball. However Kane hit the ball and Denzel missed the ball. They had contact and the one that has a higher leg is the one that gets punished. This is how the sport is. In any other area Kane would get a free kick and Denzel en Yellow card. It was in the box so the only conclusion was a penalty.
When the lads watch the incident again most of them will see that. If we were on that spot we would react the same. Unfortunate contcats do not make the difference whether it's a foul or not.
But the hands ball from the English guy i believe Saka should have been reviewd by the var and given a penalty as well for sure because we got one against us as well. Saka got it on his arm twice.
And the ball has a sensor. So i don't get it.
But England won fair and were better. Koeman better should look into the mirror why the always failing Depay can stay in the game. And more players that were ready to be substituted.
Why talk about a penalty? Saka hand delivered the bal it was a freekick for Holland ffs
Second time netherland got robbed. Against argentina and now in the semi finals. Matchfixing for sure and what a disgrace. Penalty for blocking the ball and kane's shoe kicked ball and shoe of dumbfries. Meanwhile fifa is proclaming fair play. Something must be done to these referee decisions and only a bullit will fixed this injustice.
Virgil epitomises the calm gentleman alpha Male.
Class act
Congratulations England. You won, now do that again on sunday!
How ? They need Penalty to score 😄
@@AoWSony
Saw the last minute?
@@CirclingtheFringes sorry. but you know how spain is strong?? they haven't lost single game at euro 2024? even the ref didnt know football rules.
I really don't like when people make excuse of fixed or rigged games after losing. People makes assumption and leave the public affected by it without any further investigation.
Virgil is a sportsman.
That's why Virgil is the GOAT. Doesn't take bullshit but handles the situation with class
What a great guy. To be that measured after the biggest disappointment
Match was totally fixed , i didn't see any protest against the penalty by Netherlands like they always do . They were super chill
Plus how in hell is that a penalty Dumfries trying to put the block and it was kane who kicked his foot while taking a shot
And to officiate a match by the refree who was banned for match fixing is outrageous
Football is dead
They didn't protest like they usually do because what's the point? It can even get you in trouble, see the yellow card against Virgil later in the game.
And for what reason was that yellow card on Virgil?! Wasn't there an objection because there was a penalty kick on Declan Rice, who grabbed Aki in the Roman style of wrestling and shot him to the ground? Or do you not see these things?
England were the better team overall and came out deserved winners. They simply created more chances and had more shots on goal. The pen was a bit soft, but Dumfries went in high with studs up and caught Kane. Admittedly he was only trying to block the ball, but if you go in high with studs up on most areas on the pitch, it's a foul. Even if you don't make contact they still call it for dangerous play when you jump in high with studs up. The ref didn't give it initially. It was the VAR refs that told him to have another look.
@@sebfox2194 Are you Felix his boyfreund ??? Matchfixing 100 %
The match was not fixed but the decision by the Ref to call a foul a min before the goal when Guheri fell and the Dutch Winger had broken on the right flank was terrible as was the obvious Stones corner in the 86th min..I agree about the pen as well,people who comment on it simply don't grasp that Kane struck his foot against Dumfries not the other way around...He had every right to block that shot and no other English player called for a penalty...I thought straight away it was not a penalty...
The penalty was early in the game and it was the 1:1....that penalty did not change anything, there was enough time to score a second goal but not enough good chances and conceded the second goal in the last minute, no time to react ...the referee was definitely not to blame.
What a crappy question by the last reported, shouldn’t be allowed near the players. Trying to put them into very difficult situations…
Thank you V.A.R, I guess I have to say that as a Dutch fan. The penalty was a piss poor given penalty, awefull mistake by V.A.R. because I don't think it was one. Can you say the Dutch missed out the finals because of the penalty? I don't think so, the Dutch were certainly not clinical enough. They should have scored more during this tournament, we lack a killer in front of the goal. England congratulations with the late winner, and maybe it is time to replace Kane. I think he was poor to say the least in this tournament. Goodluck with your next opponent, Spain. Again, congratulations England!
Foul is always given anywhere else on the pitch. So why not in the box too?..
where was var for the turkey game?
replace kane.. bruh he is not depay who needs to be replaced. kane is same age as depay while kane scores a min goals of 20 each season while 20 is the most depay EVER scored in a season lol.. also kane is worth like 112mil while depay is worth 12m.. even atletico madrid didnt even renew his contract because he is so trash..lol
Holland were lucky to go to half tune 1-1 and lucky yo beat Turkey stop crying.
@danlondon4588 Everone knows there is a clear difference. For example everybody is also holding in the box on corners and freekick. These would all be cards outside the box. If we fouled the same there would be 4 yellows after every corner.
Fouls inside and outside the box are judged different.
Was a close game and felt we were incredibly lucky to get that penalty! Netherlands played well and it could have gone either way!
These Journalists are clowns just trying to get a sound bite from Virgil to villainise him in the English Press for when he gets back home! Well done Virgil for not biting!
Netherlands are well overdue a trophy with the footballing legacy they have and I’m sure I’ll see them lift one in my lifetime! 👏🏻👏🏻
Nahh you deserved it man. Could’ve been 2-1 or 3-1 up at half time and in the second half we didn’t have enough going forward and you have too many players who can decide a match. Well deserved for England. First game you played good football and if you do that you can beat anybody. Good luck in the final, although I’m rooting for Spain 😇
This might be the most casual and accepting of a loss I've seen from him, dealt with the referee question well too.
Respect to big Virg. Legend. Tough luck, but he took that well, given the mix of emotions after that match. Come back strong for LfC virg - we will need you to go again.
I, m dutch and it's a shame what that revere (var) did. I think it's matchfixed. But at the end spain is the best. Engeland has a bad lazy team, also the dutch...
They dont have bad teams, but their performance was disappointing
Brother I think you should take that back go watch the history of Netherlands vs Spain , Netherlands proved so many times how much better they are and you can see to as well every tournament they got robbed specially WC 2010
Bye bye Dutchy 😂

What an absolute humble and an absolute legend this man is well played
If I was the defender involved I would give Virgil an earful for not telling the world it wasn't a penalty and wouldn't pay with Holland as long as Virgil was in the team.
Hard questions, Vergil keeps his cool, a true Captain, Respect!
Dodgy penalty aside, best team won on the night..
A gentleman who really wants to say the referee and the VAR screwed them over with the penalty
Professional attitude
Virgil’s diplomacy is incredible. Well done for showing the leadership which is so rare these days…
100% matchfixing.. Ake and Xavi Simons were literally wrestled to the ground during the last free kick and corner.
Stones hit the ball on the head which should have been a corner for the Netherlands.
Penalty was debateable.. normally it would go down as a challenge for the ball as it already had been kicked at the goal and Kane was the one that hit Dumfries foot instead of Dumfries hitting Kane.
And Gakpa was taken out during a counter and then Netherlands lost the ball it was weirdest advantage i ever seen in football history.
Are you going to be OK
Rubbish England deserved to win except it or cry me a River 😢

Now go and watch Holland-Turkiye match again😉 nice karma😏
I prefer Bellingham style. Just called it what it is; matchfixing. I know Bellingham got 40 thousand dollars fine for saying it (what is absolutely ridiculous and shows how much corruption there is) but why are they so worried about the money? So disappointing. They make so much money. It’s so weak. The footballers are not at all hero’s.
Where did he say that?
"Called what it is"... Come on, mate, be serious. There is no proof that there was matchfixing. I know, remarks based on evidence have become really unpopular these days, but really, if you make such a bold statement you will have to come with rock solid evidence. And no, not just "I know" or "I heard". Evidence that could stand in a court.
Class player, classy handling of provocative questions.

I enjoy watching paint dry more than watching England play. The most boring team ever.
How were they better? Second half they had 1 shot on goal, and it was a goal. Also they played with 5 defenders
You didn't notice the given penalty broke their spirit? BTW 3 lions as if lions are pure english nature not african I guess.
@@ZaimoZaragazzo racist
They should've never let that ref on another match with Bellingham in it. Even if he was just bad, their history means there will be these questions about integrity.
UEFA sent Makkelie home after Croatia - Spain for the added time and controversy around that.
If they are so keen on smothering integrity questions why the hell did Zwayer ref this match in the first place?
Media.. ugh,, dispicable..
Good Job Virgil❤
Why are the Dutch so educated. They all speak perfect English.
nobody in the world speaks Dutch. So at a very young age we learn English. Later on also German and French.
English and Dutch are extremely closely related linguistically. Anglo Saxons migrated from what is now Netherlands and both languages later acquired a very strong influence from French. So, English is really easy for Dutch speakers to learn.
Cause English is a world language. You could ask these questions to a 10 year old Dutch kid, and get coherent, factual answers in. English. Congratulations to England by the way. Gonna be one hell of a final. Let's celebrate football together.
After Frysian, Dutch is the closest language to English.
Dutch culture is very easy with adopting new languages. I think 95% of the people here are bilingual, many trilingual in various degrees fluency. We're officially the most proficient English speakers of countries that don't have English as a native language.
I myself speak Dutch, English and German, and to a lesser extend Spanish and French. And no, I'm not a "language person".... I never liked languages.
My daughter is 5 and speaks Dutch, Spanish and English. But thats a bit of an unfair example because she has grown up with her parents speaking those 3 languages at home to her and each other :-)
As a Dutch, hungover and annoyed, I'll give my two cents about the match:
A) Bad referee
B) Subpar Dutch performance; England performed better

Ref never told Netherlands not to shoot he never told them don't try and score, they couldn't do anything its very simple
I’m Dutch and definitely no penalty but in the end we didn’t score, we just don’t have that good players (strikers) to make a difference!
Doesnt mind if you didnt score, that means 1-1, if not 1-0 for the netherlands.
How is it not a penalty? Defender went in, studs up, didn't touch the ball, and made contact with the opponent. Please, explain why that's not a penalty
@@jamieisausernameThe shot was already taken and wasn't hindered by the contact by Dumfries that came in Kane's follow through. There is no doubt contact but Kane already took the shot so there shouldn't have been a foul.
@@RogerVanDamme5 So you admit there was contact, and he didn't get the ball. So... that's a penalty
@@jamieisausername There's obviously contact, even a blind man knows there's contact. But the ball had completely left Kane's foot before the contact was made, therefore the contact had no impact on the play and therefore shouldn't be a penalty. By definiton, they are also kicking eachother, not just Dumfries kicking Kane. Micromanaging football with Var and changing what was just a shot over the bar into a penalty is why people get fed up with it.
Dont be to hard on Virgil. After the game the emotions run hard. England was a little better during the whole game but they didi not create much chanches either. Bitvat the end they deserved it more.
Free penalty man.. free penalty
Very proud of my newly adopted home. The Dutch have absolutely done themselves proud even in defeat. The ball is round and VAR has gone too far. Someone needs to save football from this overeach of power. If that's a penalty no Defenders can ever clear 50/50 balls inside the penalty box anymore. Interpretation of both the hand ball rule and the dangerous play rule needs emergency revision.
Press trying to trip him up, shameful.
virgil : you want me to get in trouble ?? meanwhile drogba: ITS A FCKING DISGRACE in the ref his face and in the carmera he didnt care and he was right about it hahahaha
The ref dominated midfield, set up intrivate passes with thrusting energy. Don't even get me started on the ball the ref played through to himself that the he then buried to win the game.

Spain got helped by Referees against germany. UEFA also rigged the Bayern vs Real Madrid match when they falsely ruled out De Ligt's goal as offside. When are we gonna wake up and realize UEFA is corrupt? How can a ref that got investigated for match fixing be anywhere near a semi final
Can't understand percentages, can't spell, can't write. Can't take it.
Doesn’t matter whether you support Spain 1,000 per cent. It’s the Spanish players against the English players that will decide it. Spain will win it in terms of artistic impression, but England will win it where it really matters, on the scoreline.
From Uk great admirer of Virgil he spoke well but despite the controversial penalty England overall were the better team on the day and deserved to win.
Im Scottish, the penno was dubious. However, it would be given anywhere else on the pitch.
Why didnt Malen deserve a penalty in 28 min?
Omdat Malen niet zo slim is als Kane. Hij had moeten acteren, net zoals Kane. Dan gaat de VAR pas kijken. Maar die scheids staat bekend om match fixing schijnt.

He is a confident and calm person but I do not appreciate the people who only talks about injustice when it happens to them but acts like nothing happened when the referee helps them to win. Netherlands won many matches with the help of referee mistakes in the history , mostly against smaller and less influential countries.
