Sturny Posted June 12, 2021 Report Share Posted June 12, 2021 I just read that Eriksen wanted them to play after the players FaceTimed with him. I imagine after hearing him talk it would be a huge weight off their shoulders. Can see this being the only reason the game went on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact you probably still hear it. It does stick with you doesn`t it? I can still hear Dani Rodriguez`s now like it was yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No point restarting it with that frame of mind... They got a rallying call from Christian.. that is strength of character we should all admire. Denmark are currently not playing for anything other than a win and it's dedicated to Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pressured to play for sure Could it be a ‘he would have wanted us to play’ situation? I was surprised too though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many people just don`t get it. The ones that think it`s just 22 overpaid wasters kicking a bag of wind around but it is so much more than that. A wise man once said if you have to explain it to someone they will never understand - those who do understand will never need an explanation.

Definitely, watching with interest now just because it's bizarre seeing how they get on after living such an extreme situation a few hours ago. Was always going to be a tame 2nd half because it's hard to think about being competitive I guess. Was thinking Pukki would get the Finns first competition goal but I don't think it will matter much anymore after Eriksen, at least not today anyway.

Eg team have pushed all players up high (including the def) and play ball all the way back to keeper. No opposition player could be near GK so would take ages to chase him down etc - could lead to lots of time wasting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted June 12, 2021 Report Share Posted June 12, 2021 Only saw 2nd half and clearly pales into insignificance somewhat but that result goes down as the first big surprise result of the tournament. Possibly was Finland's only shot? Certainly don't remember many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
