In its statement, UEFA said: “The case is being dealt with by UEFA, the Supervisory, Ethics and Disciplinary Board. [CEDB] in due course.”

The tense semi-final turned the English way in the middle of the early stages of overtime when the referee ruled that Raheem Sterling had fallen in the penalty area.

‘Now there are also a lot of divers in England’

Danish journalist Carsten Werge on Sky Sports News:

“I haven’t met a man or woman in Denmark who could see it as a punishment, that’s for sure. No one could understand it was a punishment, and when I read international magazines, no one – except maybe English-language magazines – said it.

“I have to say that Sterling is a great player and a great diver. You can see that it gave them a penalty. It was a pity that the game was settled because of the situation because I think England would have won in the end, they were a better team.

“But we didn’t feel the Dutch referee would do his job properly in this situation. It would feel the same if you were a team that lost a penalty that wasn’t a penalty. You’d be a little. When I read the English papers this morning, it wasn’t a big deal – but so it is. is.

“We weren’t happy. We don’t want the players to dive. There are also some players on the Danish team who do it. But when I think about years ago when I watched the English league as a Danish commentator, I remember Jurgen Klinsmann – when he played in Tottenham – everyone said, ‘He’s a diver.’ ! “. Now you also have a lot of divers. Kane is also a very good diver. Maybe you’ve just adapted to the European style of playing football…”
