Denmark Star: Hard to accept this loss, I must be careful what I say, but I'm very nervous.

What was given to England can't be a penalty, something that worries me a lot. We're totally against that episode. Five seconds before Sterling got the ball was a second ball on the field: I signalled to the fourth referee, but the game continued anyway”, opened up technical controversy Huylmand.

Over the Three Lions has actually crashed the echo of the controversy created over the crucial semi-final penalty with which the Southgat team took Denmark off the tournament in Emblemy: it is not only Sterling's throw, which was launched on the ground between Maehle's feet and Jensen, but also the presence of two cannons in the playing field at the beginning of the action.

The regulation says, in fact, that “if a second ball or another object enters the playing field during the match, the judge should allow it to continue if the outside element does not intervene in the game and should remove it as soon as possible”.

At this point the referee is not obliged to stop the match, but in view of the images, in this case, the second ball was very close to the action and could represent a disturbing element for both Sterling and Maehle, who was attending it despite the running game.

Enraged Martin Braithwaite: “It will take time to swallow this loss but we will try to do great things again in the future. We're proud of what we did in porn. Sorry we could get to the finals. This loss is difficult to accept above all for the way it came. I gotta be careful what I'm saying, but we're probably very nervous”
