I looked online to see if I might have been too hasty and saw a tweet on it from Stu Holden. It looks like the keeper is much further towards his goal than halfway. There are also players between the ball and goal.
It does seem like this is a goal scoring opportunity for a player like Bale but...
Using that logic so is almost every free touch of the ball.
Blocking a keeper from kicking it out of his hands? Red card all day long ref. After all, the other keeper was out of his box and it might have bounced over him.

We should beat the US comfortably enough. England v Wales will be much like England v Scotland in the Euros, with likely a similar result.
But never underestimate English ability to f*** up at a major tournament
