I don't remember which game it was. It was some 20 years ago, but I remember a German announcer saying "in the name of humanity, please no extra time". I would have felt like that if it wasn't group stage.God, I only tuned in at the 70 minute mark and I was pleading for the final whistle.
Players did not know!Somewhat baffling that Denmark wouldn't try to score a goal in the last 15 minutes with Peru up a deuce.
This will not work against Croatia.Hareide has really managed to make Denmark into a full tortoise team. Very disappointing. I really hope we get something else from now on, since they have qualified for the playoffs.
Didier Deschamps' third group game in his last international competitions with France :
2014
France 0-0 Ecuador
2016
France 0-0 Switzerland
2018
France 0-0 Denmark
Flemming Poulsen only guy saying it as it is!
Not good enough, Denmark are going to be the worst offensive team in the round of 16..
They didn't in th Euros either... DD is really holding them back. He's good enough defensively to avoid a complete catastrophe but I don't see him managing a team to a trophy. Far too passive.Enough talent on paper, but they don't look talented offensively on the field right now.
In the round of 16, and I think he not only meant by numbers, but the visual part aswell.At least so far when it comes to tactical set up if that continues.
When it comes to efficiency Denmark has scored the same number of goals as Peru having far less shots on goal to do so. So it depends on how you calculate worst offensive team [number of chances created, or % of chances missed?]
In this game it was obvious that the Danish plan was basically not to attack, but stall for time.

They would have given way more offensive bite, that is for sure...For some weird reason both Eriksen and Sisto has totally lost confidence and form. Jørgensen has been out of form all year on the NT.
Brathwaite (and partly Poulsen) has been the only forwards, that really tries to push forward.
A big factor is also that our wings-backs contribute nothing offensively and then it's more or less impossible in modern football to get anywhere.
Still perplexed that Daniel Wass and Riza Durmisi were left out of this team? [Perhaps they were to offensive in camp ]
