Did England change COVID rules just for this match? Wembley had been at like 25% capacity in the group rounds right?

I don't understand what I just saw, why did the ref allow two English players to stand about five yards from the ball? The ones that weren't part of the wall
Good ol science!oh no said:
covid numbers magically improved and triggered capacity allowance to go from 25% to 50% just in time for this match.

Foden hasn't had a good tournament so far so I can understand him not starting.oh no said:
Saka is good, but I'd have a hard time not starting Foden in an English lineup. ...and no Grealish? 3 in the back for both squads.
Mount is in the 23, so I assume he's cleared at least.KCup17 said:
Mount and Chillwell are cleared of the covid protocols right?
re: Chillwell, I don't see him listed as a substitute. ..Shaw is just as good of a LB, but in this 3 man backline, I don't see Shaw as a left wing-back.oh no said:Mount is in the 23, so I assume he's cleared at least.KCup17 said:

Southgate's team selections are really baffling at times. Not just today but the whole tournament. Basically playing with 2 CDM's in Rice and Phillipsoh no said:re: Chillwell, I don't see him listed as a substitute. ..Shaw is just as good of a LB, but in this 3 man backline, I don't see Shaw as a left wing-back.oh no said:Mount is in the 23, so I assume he's cleared at least.KCup17 said:

Just curious - What did Clattenburg say about it? I'm at a restaurant and can't hear.Mathguy64 said:
Phillips is a lucky boy. That's pretty orange.

I have watched it 3 times and still don't get it. Two defenders were clearly encroaching by their position and for some reason Germany treated it like an indirect kick.
the expert thought he went on top of the ball first and wasn't being intentional on kroos, so yellow was correct, but those studs coming right down on the middle of Kroos' leg like that seemed like pretty dangerous foul play to me. referee could have seen it differently and it would have been hard to argue too much, IMOdeadbq03 said:Just curious - What did Clattenburg say about it?

Said there was clearly no intent - went for the ball but the angle carried his boot over the ball. Thus the yellow and no red.wangus12 said:

"There was no brutality therefore yellow card is correct." Which by the way is utter horse ***** The tackle was studs half way up a leg. It's easily could have been SFP.deadbq03 said:Just curious - What did Clattenburg say about it? I'm at a restaurant and can't hear.Mathguy64 said:
