He clearly did it knowing it was too late in the game for a yellow card to cause trouble. Should've been an instant penalty shot for England. Sort of conduct I'd expect from my local 5-a-side youth club, not from a top professional player in a Euro Cup final. The Italians were playing well besides this, so why he felt the need to resort to thuggery I have no idea.
a penalty for fouling on the halfway line? 😭😂😂 Any player with a developed instinct would've immediately reacted and stopped him. It also shows just how disciplined he was because he didn't get disciplined previously so could still take one for the team. England once upon a time had players like him, Rio Ferdinand, Carragher, Keown, etc all were physically gifted.
@Alejandro3000 so he violates a clear rule of the game, and its the other player's fault for not preventing the offense? Why don't we just give them all knuckle dusters and whoever doesn't get knocked out, wins?
Aww poor boy got pulled down by a man in a mans sport, throw the book at him!!! No wonder "little" Lionel Messi got away with scoring all those goals 🤔
@medhat-m Not at all how many times do you see a team on the attack and a player will foul them ok yes chiellini was little bit over the top but it's still professional foul
@mattissebfan5 well, personally.. I'm not into this soft football era... So a foul like this which is still not dangerous or can cause an injury.. Is not the end of the world for me.. Still I think it's a red card but because chiellini is a big name... Even pique got away with it many times before
It was definitely a bookable offence at the least, but it depends whether or not he was the last man, like if he was, then yeah, a straight red, but I'm not sure if he was, I genuinely don't remember seeing a replay to determine that.
Red or not though, sometimes you have to take one for the team.

The absolute state of brit bongs. Just get to acceptance already.
It's not a red card offence, he was not the last man and as such it was not a clear chance on goal. It's a yellow card. It could not easily be interpreted as excessively dangerous play either.
What's malicious is Southgate selecting Saka for the 5th penalty when he's an inexperienced 19yr old. The consequence is racial abuse by England fans and emotional distress that will have left him with ill feelings. I wouldn't blame him if he didn't play for England again. There are still deep racial issues in our country and until that's resolved 55yrs will become 100yrs+
I call this Karma, stop whining, the cup came to our Rome I suggest to seek professional help for the ones that dared to attack innocent italian fans and children. Shame on you
Well watch what Englad did with Denmark so that's why it's Karma. These slip ups happen all the time, Italians are Known for playing rough, and the ones that watch soccer for a long time know that very well and wouldn't even dare to discuss it.
fully grown men football is returning and I'll gladly watch Italy next season. I've been annoyed for long time watching the English PL and La Liga adopt metro-sexual males running around where even the tiniest touch results in theatrics, fouls and penalties. It wasn't like this in the 90s and best part of 00s. Little boy Messi the last decade was so protected by the ref La Liga teams just let him run through untouched no wonder he scored all those goals 😂 and UEFAlona just helped Barca win all the time. In grown men football you would be able to physically react to a cheating player if he dived and the ref would red card and blind eye the retribution. This would end that type of skinny player and readopt MEN.
Should England be banned from the World Cup for diving against Denmark? If not that the violence by England fans as Italians entered Wembley and afterwards with little or no policing/stewards? Or the racial abuse directed at Saka Sancho and Rashford? Selecting Saka for the 5th penalty in an international grand final when he's only 19yrs old? I'm from England and the only answer to this is a ban until the nation resets which would take another 55yrs.
well I think all those football holigans should be just shot and buried but if the dude intentionally grabs him and pulls him on the ground then that is a no go and we are talking about what ciellini did not what some other fucktards did
yet he still did that why are you being difficult? via same logic oh he only raped a bit and then let go/if she was a grown woman she would be more resistant🤔
no we also had him when we were against Denmark and he was bias. I am not saying the Italians played badly, their defence was so good. The referre was bias there's no question. Pulling Saka BY THE COLLAR should have been a red card.
Lol the referee against Denmark was Danny Makkelie, not Björn Kuipers. Just because you cannot differentiate between referees doesn’t mean they are the same person.
And no, the rules dictate it should be a yellow and it was a yellow
And wow, Danny Makkelie was biased against England? Should I remind you that the decision to give the penalty for what Sterling did was very much contested by a lot of high-level referees? If anything, he was certainly not biased against England
It should be harsher penalty because of the total lack of fair play shown, not because the person on receiving end happens to be a particular ethnic origin.
