Best red card to save a PK since Suarez vs Ghana in 2010.  HAD to do it, and it pays off.  Plus, somehow, he didn't even get a red card.

Amazing.  That is about as clear of a red as you get.

From Grant Wahl - 

Nice save, but Schmeichel was a yard off his line when the ball was struck.

 

[Jaysus]

Nice save I guess... but (hot take here) should have been a yellow on Schmeichel for leaving the line before the kick.

 

[Slapdash]

Should be a red - and a re-kick for the steps off the line

 

 

[The Gator]

Nice save I guess... but (hot take here) should have been a yellow on Schmeichel for leaving the line before the kick.

That was a miss not a save. Modric put that  one yard wide from where Casper started. Was never going in. 

 

[The General]

The Danes will be very politely rioting tonight in Esbjerg after that screw job.

good catch forgot about the change to a yellow in that case

From Grant Wahl -

Pretty much par for the course IMO -- they almost never call it unless it's ridiculously egregious.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Schmeichel looks like GM reimagined as a Norse god.

 

[QuizGuy66]

and only a yellow card?!?  Perfect scenario will be #13 scoring the winner in the shootout too at this point.

Why is Prince Harry coaching one of the teams?

Goalies should get to wear bigger gloves.

Again from Grant Wahl - 

On why that's not a red card: Triple jeopard rule was changed. If a player makes an attempt at the ball, its a yellow in that situation.

 

[Sinn Fein]

Looks like the Ref was telling Kasper not to leave his line like the last one...

 

[The Gator]

THAT is a save 

 

[Slapdash]

Very very nice save

[The General]

These guys kicking the ball suck.

 

[Sinn Fein]

I suppose this is going to come down to Kasper's ability to stop Pens v. Denmark's ability to make Pens.

 

[The Gator]

Also, that...wow 

 

[Slapdash]

We used all the goals in this game up too early

 

[AAABatteries]

Danemark!!

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

I wonder what watching this game in Solvang would be like.

Not that I’d want to do it. Solvang sucks.

 

[QuizGuy66]

Clever kick by Crotia #2 taker - was always going forward but jagged step threw off Schmeichel

[HellToupee]

FIFA should have the goal line lined with chocolate pudding

 

[The Gator]

Nerves and balls for Luca

 

[The General]

Should have kicked it to the other side. 

 

[AAABatteries]

Go fast or lose that advantage.

Kick save, and a beauty!

 

[AAABatteries]

What was that - in drink and do better 

 

[Sinn Fein]

[QuizGuy66]

It's a just result.
