knowing how challenged your football knowledge is, was the premonition that Libya would reach the final?

If the italians winning in the game, the supportes can just as easily sing "its going to Rome". Now that would be very appropriate.

I am going to buck the trend here and support Italy to win against England, despite being British.

Last night England played well to win the game on merit, but instead, the game was won by deceit by receiving an unwarranted penalty on three fronts. One that Sterling took a dive, second that the referee gave a penalty he was not sure on and third, that VAR did not reverse the bad penalty call. The game commentator were accepting this injustice by using justifications that England had been wronged in the past by bad calls so that they were OK with this bad call in essence. This is why soccer is a corrupt game that financially England vs. Italy is more enticing to the advertisers and viewers than had Italy faced Denmark.

Go Italy!

The rule itself is the usual football authorities' bodge up. If the referee is not sure, the penalty should not be given. And if it is given the VAR system cannot overturn it unless they are sure the referee got it wrong. So, you can see how the authorities give with one hand and then take it back with the other.

Why does the referee not go to the side of the pitch, watch the replay, and decide whether he is sure or not. One of the reasons I no longer care about football. It is corrupt from top to bottom where cheats are allowed to prosper even after they stop playing football. Roy Keen admitted he deliberately attack a player on the field and injured his knee. The authorities did take any action till he wrote it in his book and now he is rewarded by appearing as a pundit.

Football is no longer a sport; it has become corporation's plaything.

No, it was that you would last an entire Futsal season without conceding a goal!
