Congratulations!
You won deservedly.
Now the most of us danes will be cheering for England in the final.

After 2-1 the danish commentators started joking that the only thing which could save us now would be another crazy action from Pickford...

Bad luck and what a decent post.
After the attitude of the team, the fans, commentary etc - Denmark have won loads of friends and have certainly become my 2nd International team by a long way. To me they are what Scotland and Wales once were, when I was kid and before I grew up to realise just how much the Scots and Welsh absolutely hate us.

I was unsure why this thread had started as 'The Euros' was in full flight.

But, well done you Satan-Claus and thank you. Very sporting of you and, as my fellow HOLers have said already the Danish team have been great throughout especially after Ericsson's collapse. We'll all be buying Lurpak, Carlsberg and Danish bacon as a gesture of support.

By the way, I don't think the Danish commentators were joking about Pickford.

 


Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

You must be near where Badehotellet is set, we've had two series on over here and I thought it was excellent.

Nice gesture mate. Amazing performance from Schmeichel by the way. I don't suppose he has a Pickford mask and is available on Sunday? .

Congrats to England. A referee payback for the Diego maradonna "hand of god" .

After waiting decades.....finally an incompetent var decision and a win.

really? wow.
maybe I had my England specs on, but I thought VAR was pretty good. for both penalty calls (pre VAR either could easily have been given. Respect for the Ref for making a decision, and Not simply letting VAR check for Penalty 'after'), VAR couldn't override as either wasn't clear and obvious error.
as for 2nd Ball? no idea. Again though VAR couldn't really intervene as no action was taken on the pitch. Interesting to note that no-one in a Denmark shirt complained about this?

hard to compare that to one of the most infamous examples of cheating in history of football.

Very generous of the OP, but I think there should be a re-match behind closed doors.

It stinks.

Well it is a dive as you state.

'England’s penalty leads to cries of hypocrisy across the continent', land of fair play etc.

English lectures on foreigners diving can now be consigned to the bin.

A shame the ref, who had a fine game, bottled it on this occasion, add the '2 balls' incident where he did not act either, if it happened to us we would be screaming blue murder.

There is a feeling across the continent that England's ride has been 'smoothed out' generally in the euros.

Little doubt in my mind that he played for the penalty. Happens all the time though and, as much as I despise the practice, it often works against us (England and Palace) so it seems reasonable that we have a decision in our favour.
