Greenwood didn't get booked for that, in fact I believe England got a free kick awarded for dangerous play.

Booking was for time wasting. Yes, free kick for dangerous play. tbf after initially making a meal of it, she thought better of it quite quickly.
Apart from the pen,
thought the ref was pretty good. And tbf they're clearly trying to allow for some physicality, which I like. Also tried to keep the game moving. Lots of advantage played.

Paul McGrath was often sent up top back in the day iirc.

I know mate, was being facetious as sticking Big Millie up top and getting it in the mixer was presented as if it was a brilliant curveball tactic. Was about to post this at the time but the tactic immediately paid off
As much as I enjoyed watching England win, to me that was a clear foul for England's first goal, even in watching real time. I can understand why the Spaniards were a bit fucked off.

Also a bit bizarre that the commentator described the England player diving like a ton of bricks in extra time as 'intelligent play'. And as for Ian Wright with his constant 'we'. You're not in the side mate, you're supposed to be an impartial commentator.

Team claim England’s equaliser should have been disallowed but take pride after giving the hosts ‘a footballing bath’

Quite a good rant though, insinuations that the ref and VAR were homers, that Spain were the better team. Not bad.

Nobody except weirdos cares about this stuff. Football matches pass every day, at all levels where timewasting, fouls and minor infringements go unpunished. If you're the wronged team, it's fine and natural to whinge about it for days/months/years to come, depending on the importance of the game, and the seriousness of how badly you've been wronged, but for everyone else, it's just shrug and move on. It's why football is so great.As much as I enjoyed watching England win, to me that was a clear foul for England's first goal, even in watching real time.

And FWIW, it was never a foul, and the ref definitely missed a stonewall pen for England

Gotta love it when the pull back goes to the right player and they just slot it in perfectly, but especially when the player who isn't supposed to take the shot bloody leaves it for the player who is

No he's not. Ian Wright is not an impartial commentator. Isn't trying to be, isn't asked to be, should never want to be.

Good goal. I'm backing Austria.

He's also represented England all the way up to a senior level, so if anyone not on the pitch is going to say "we"...

Where does the idea that there's a requirement on commentators to be neutral even come from? It's not an election.

Bah, they're literally interviewing a couple of people pitchside who have been to seven matches! This would have been my seventh match at a seventh different stadium! 
Not that, y'know, this is about me... 
Ok, apparently they're ex-German internationals. Whatever...
Technically I'm a world champion, so, y'know...
