@MrsGulDukat

It speaks to their strength that all the players felt able to continue.
Does it? Or of the financial juggernaut that is the Euros? How can anyone be expected to play after that.

Agree, normally Schmeichel would save that.
Very muted goal celebrations.

@TangoWhiskeyAlphaTango

The players wanted to continue. There's no suggestion that they were forced to play.

If they were forced, they would just pass the ball around, I do believe that this was the player's choice.

Looking forward to this, I imagine Belgium will want to make a mark on this tournament and coming out fighting.

I'm streaming so I have a delay.

ILoveYou3000 · 12/06/2021 20:14

I don't think this game should have gone ahead, the Danish players heads just aren't in it, bless them.

Lukaku and Erikson both play for Inter Milan. Must have horrible to hear the news.

Lukaka said 'Chris, I love you' to the camera after scoring.

I know Rom though, so I'm ashamed I didnt even recognise him.

Both Belgium and Russia are not taking any risks with head injuries, wise decision.

Those finnish players have really annoyed me.

They've been dropping to the ground to waste time.

MrsGulDukat · 12/06/2021 20:31

Poor Denmark.

They really werent all in it. I dont blame them either.

They won't win the euros, but they could have won the hearts. I think they should have let a goal in, they would have been heroes.
MrsGulDukat · 12/06/2021 20:33

Not sure about letting a goal in but the dropping to the ground for a tap in the face.

That has really annoyed me.
