      ENGLISH VAR officials . . . here we go again.
      Stuart Attwell took far too long to make a call on Xavi Simons’ strike and he got it wrong by sticking with the on-field decision.
      It was a ‘good’ goal because Denzel Dumfries should not have been adjudged offside.
      Holland’s Dumfries did not affect the line of vision for France keeper Mike Maignan, who made no attempt to save a shot he could not have reached.
      It means wing-back Dumfries was not involved in ‘active’ play.
      The VAR decision-making had been so slick in Germany up until last night.
      But with VAR Attwell, who should have sent English referee Anthony Taylor to the pitchside monitor, we had the slowest decision of Euro 2024 so far — which took just under three minutes.

      Xavi Simons thought he had given the Dutch a second-half lead, only for referee Taylor to disallow the goal after consulting his assistant.VAR Attwell, 41, then spent a lengthy amount of time reviewing the incident before he stuck with the on-field decision.’No excuse for that’ – Alan Shearer fumes at abject England as Three Lions legend says ‘Denmark deserved to win’ EURO 2024 LIVE: KEEP UP TO DATE WITH ALL THE LATEST NEWS FROM GERMANYThis led to uproar among football fans, while Holland manager Ronaldo Koeman said: “If it’s offside, then you don’t need to spend five minutes touching your ear.”I don’t understand this. If you have this much doubt, you give a goal.”Dumfries did not hinder the goalkeeper. It wasn’t because of Dumfries that Maignan didn’t go for the ball, Maignan did not react because he simply couldn’t get to the ball anyway.”He would have never reached that ball. It’s a legal goal. Once again, he’s not disturbing the goalkeeper.”The game ended goalless as Netherlands and France move onto four points each heading into their final group games against Austria and Poland.Pundits and legends lay into EnglandENGLAND’s lifeless display in the 1-1 draw with Denmark left pundits and legends queuing up to take a dig at Gareth Southgate’s team.
      Here’s the best of what was said…
      ALAN SHEARER
      “Awful performance, particularly after going up in the game.
      “I don’t think one England player can look at themselves and say, ‘I’ve done my job tonight’.
      “England were all over the place, far too sloppy in possession, gave the ball away too much and got caught too many times.
      “There was no energy, no pace, no guile — Southgate is simply not getting the best out of England’s best players.
      “It’s concerning and Gareth will get some serious questions.
      “You saw England players lying on their backs — they look absolutely shattered but there’s no excuse for that.”
      GARY LINEKER
      The BBC host called the performance “lifeless and tepid”.
      On Harry Kane he said: “He needs his manager to ask more of him. I would have expected that if I’d put in that kind of performance.”
      RIO FERDINAND
      “The players don’t look the same as they do for their clubs. It is a big concern.”
      ROY KEANE
      “Courage and bravery, we’re not really seeing it.
      “There’s something amiss with the balance. Bellingham is waving his arms.
      “This is a big test for Gareth. It looks like he’s overthinking things.”
      JAMIE CARRAGHER
      “My big worry watching this and for the rest of the tournament?
      “England look absolutely knackered. They can’t get close to the ball.
      “The surest sign of fatigue is dropping deep.
      “Declan Rice is having to cover so much ground. No-one can convince me this is a strategy.”
      JACK WILSHERE
      “It’s strange that we have taken the lead in both games so far, yet instead of it settling us down and giving us the confidence to play, we have failed to take control.
      “But what was most worrying was that Denmark had a clear way of playing — while we didn’t.” More

      Artur Soares Dias should have no problems in dealing with England and Denmark’s players because he’s a decent and experienced referee.
      But one man who will not be looking forward to seeing the Portuguese official is Three Lions coach Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink.
      The pair had a bust-up in the Wembley tunnel at half-time of England’s friendly defeat with Brazil in March with Hasselbaink unhappy over the constant fouling on Jude Bellingham.
      But Hasselbaink will need to be on his best behaviour in Frankfurt tonight because refs in this tournament aren’t taking any messing about from the technical area.
      It’s something for England boss Gareth Southgate to keep an eye on.
      The dugouts of Slovenia, Croatia and Hungary have already received yellow cards for their actions and Dias may not be so lenient if there is more complaining from the sidelines this time.
      Dias has been a Fifa ref since 2010 and knows both sets of players well as he is a Champions League regular. He officiated the Netherlands’ 2-1 opening win over Poland and his one caution highlights he is not fussy if players follow the laws.

      I’m the first ever man to be sent off for England in match decided by coin toss – I’ll forever be ultimate quiz question

      I WAS out shopping recently and minding my own business when a guy about 60 introduced himself with his teenage kids.He said: “It’s lovely to meet you, Alan.” And I replied likewise.Alan Mullery was the first player to be sent off for EnglandFormer Tottenham Hotspur player Mullery spoke to SunSport’s Russell LanningCredit: RexHe’ll forever be ultimate quiz questionAnd then he turned to the youngsters next to him and proudly boasted: ‘This is Alan Mullery. He was the first player to be sent off for England.’It’s strange but despite playing over 700 games for club and country I will always have that tag around my neck for being the first senior player to be sent off for England.I have always been hugely patriotic and I’m incredibly proud that I played 35 times for England at senior level. It remains my greatest honour to have been able to walk out and play for my country.READ MORE FOOTBALL NEWSUnfortunately this was a match in which Spanish referee Jose Maria Oritz de Mendibil allowed the ­Yugoslavian team to kick and scythe us down at every opportunity.The official was an absolute ­disgrace. He let them get away with blue murder.Dragan Dzajic gave them the lead in the 86th minute. Then with a minute to go Dobrivoje Trivic — who had been the worst of all the dirty Yugoslav players that day — raked his studs down my calf and blood started pouring down my leg.It was the last straw.

Today, games are analysed and under the same scrutiny the Yugoslavs would have been found out for their outrageous dirty tricks.Had we had some sort of protection from the officials, I am convinced the result would have been different.We may have lost 1-0 but I still have a great deal of sympathy for the other losing semi-finalists Italy.Their match against the Soviet Union finished goalless after extra-time. There was no replay or even a penalty shootout.Can you believe that the outcome was decided by the toss of a coin?Indeed these were different times.I hope Euro 2024 is a tournament we get to see this ­outstanding crop of English talent produce what we know they are capable of.For instance, I watch and drool when I see the way Phil Foden plays for Manchester City.But I have yet to see him do the same in an England shirt.READ MORE SUN STORIESIt would be magical to see Foden and Co turn on the style for their country as they do for their clubs over the next month in Germany.It would certainly lift the grey skies from this miserable June.
