Denmark's Skov Olsen looks like a really interesting right winger. Anyone on here that knows more about him?
I'll admit I have only seen him play for Denmark, but he is quite a good talent. Has good technique, pace, and a great left foot, but he can certainly also use his right. He's the kind of wide player we have been missing on the national team for years. Would be interested to see him in the Bundesliga after he has proven himself in Belgium.

Yeah that was a good move for him. He had a less impressive spell in Italy. Glad he left. I actually think a club like Ajax is where he could end up in the next 18-24 months.
Could be interesting.

No team in particular.
There is some serious lack of quality in Egypt attack, except Salah, can't complete 5 passes in a row.

If they somehow fluke the qualification, they most likely will go out in group stage.

Outplaying Senegal in the 2nd half, Queiroz made some good changes.

Looks like lysglimt is tired of posting about all the goals in Norway vs Armenia

7-0 Møller Dæhli 80min
8-0 Sørloth 85min

Norway the absolute kings of statpadding. Haaland will end his career on 100 national goals and none in an actual major tournament

He has a better goal per game ratio in Dortmund atm.. at 82 for 80 games I believe.
15 in 17 for Norway (but he was taken off at half-time. His feet were bloody after Armenia had been kicking him around.)

It's a shame that the Norway game didn't end at 8, if so 50% of the goals would have been scored by former United Academy players.

Going into extra time, it has been a better game than the AFCON final.

Bailly and Pepe get more game time with their national team than with their employers.
Will be fun watching Bailly tonight, has all the attributes to be quality but just to rash. And injury prone obviously, but half of those are due to rashness probaBly.

Senegal should've scored already a couple of times in the extra time.

Nigeria out. That's quite a surprise.

Only missed 1 WC out of the last 7.

Müller seamlessly continues his horrible cameo from the weekend. Sané with a great effort to regain the ball after a bungled pass. Werner to be found in his favorite position: offside.

Werner is cognitively unable to stay onside. Silly, silly player.

To be fair it was him who set up Sane with that neat little chip into the box?!

Macedonia defending much better than against Italy.

Portugal will get nervous if they don't score in the first half.
