He was their MOTM and without him they'd be packing.Although Polonia conceded two goals, I could still say that Szczęsny played well.

I honestly think that Costa Rica are in for a beating. However Germany have been far from convincing.The Group of Death tomorrow will be exciting with all 4 teams who can still qualify to the next round. I completely forgot Germany is only on 1 point and they actually need to beat Costa Rica to qualify. Will be funny if history repeat itself and Costa Rica does a South Korea like 4 years ago and beat Germany on the final day to knock them out.
Fair play I wrote you off in that group,then preceded to get in an online sweepstakeStill absolutely buzzing. 2 wins from 3 in that group when no-one gave us a chance.

You missed the Mexico game then?In the important games Messi never shows up, and he has to be saved by his teammates, always the same.
The odd thing was he was brilliant as the manager of Atlanta United and the team was always on the front foot.Thank god, worse manager I've seen for Mexico NT. Absolute coward.
This is a massive troll post wtfMessi didn't show up tonight, but Argentina won anyways. It's like what happened in the American Cup in 2021, Messi didn't show up in the Final but Argentina won thanks to Di Maria.

Totally different with Mexico NT, against Argentina not only his set up was coward as feck but his statements before the match. I had never seen such a small mentality from a manager before.The odd thing was he was brilliant as the manager of Atlanta United and the team was always on the front foot.
Terrible tactics, awful results, zero preparation for the future by selecting an old squad. My work here is done, you're welcome Mexico.Tweet

Denmark have massively under achieved. Should have easily come runners up. Italy would have been better than Poland. All the best players in the world are from Europe or South America so it’s only ever gonna be one of them teams to win the WC.Yeah this is probably the best. While we like to think Ukraine and Italy would have been better Denmark and Poland, it really is better if Asia and Africa could develop more and potentially we see a WC champ outside Europe and South America.
I’d love to see it, but I don’t think it’s going to happen in our lifetimes. The World Cup is so hard to win. It starts with bad quality football but the further you come along, the more the teams that have experience, deep squads and winning tradition pull through.Yeah this is probably the best. While we like to think Ukraine and Italy would have been better Denmark and Poland, it really is better if Asia and Africa could develop more and potentially we see a WC champ outside Europe and South America.
We dissapointed. Given our player quality we should have easily beaten Tunisia and Australia.Yeah this is probably the best.

After he literally turned up for them last night in an important game?Messi didn't show up tonight, but Argentina won anyways. It's like what happened in the American Cup in 2021, Messi didn't show up in the Final but Argentina won thanks to Di Maria.

yeah its pretty embarrasing. I will put some blame on DBU for waffling about so much about Qatar and the danish press for focusing so much on that instead of the football. Once it was clear we wouldnt boycut the whole thing they should have left the players alone.That has to the worst performance in a major tournament from a Danish side ever.
At least in euro2000, when we lost all three games, we went out to three really strong sides in France, Netherlands and Czech.
Going out after failing to beat Tunisia and Australia, in what should have been one of our easier qualifications for the next round, in the manner we played, is hard to make excuses for.
I genuinely don't understand how we ended up being so shit.
For starters, Italy didn't even fail at the last hurdle. It would be North Macedonia before them.Yeah this is probably the best. While we like to think Ukraine and Italy would have been better Denmark and Poland, it really is better if Asia and Africa could develop more and potentially we see a WC champ outside Europe and South America.
Making Peru proudStill absolutely buzzing. 2 wins from 3 in that group when no-one gave us a chance.
What we lack in skill we make up for in spirit and sheer doggedness. I think the last 16 is where the journey ends but who knowsAustralia are the worst team in the tournament I'm told...
Get fecked
Only way Italy would be here would be either Switzerland not being here (doing ok), Portugal not being here (doing ok) and also North Macedonia not being here (would be stinking up the place).Denmark have massively under achieved. Should have easily come runners up. Italy would have been better than Poland. All the best players in the world are from Europe or South America so it’s only ever gonna be one of them teams to win the WC.
You need strikersWe dissapointed. Given our player quality we should have easily beaten Tunisia and Australia.
While that is true, that doesnt change the fact that the rest of our squad should easily make up for that. Look at the leagues our players play in compared to where the Tunisia and Australia players play.You need strikers
Meh. That's irrelevant in a World Cup. Why would you hold it if it's about where the players play? Just hold a squad comparison point scoring competition.While that is true, that doesnt change the fact that the rest of our squad should easily make up for that.

Of course its relevant to expectations. I think its only fair of danish fans to expect a team almost exclusively consisting of players from the top 5 leagues in europe, who got to a semifinal in the lates EC, to be able to put Tunisia and Australia away without much issue.Meh. That's irrelevant in a World Cup. Why would you hold it if it's about where the players play? Just hold a squad comparison point scoring competition.
It's about the ability of a ragged band to come together and produce something beautiful. I've no idea where the Moroccans play, but they would have had you on toast, both this time and the way they were performing in 2018.
What's strange is that most of your lot have been playing for ages, to a high standard, and there was no discernible evidence of that. I don't think the age profile is that much of an issue like with us (five guys on their 4th WC = slow defence and attack) so maybe it is the whole boycott thing.
We do but that doesn't explain how we performed so poorly.You need strikers
Well yeah it's because some players are past their peak but the coach cannot really just change them for younger stars. It will incur the wrath of the fans. Some of these players are Eriksen and Kasper.That has to the worst performance in a major tournament from a Danish side ever.

I was thinking more if they beat Switzerland instead of drawing with them, they would have qualified top of the first group.For starters, Italy didn't even fail at the last hurdle. It would be North Macedonia before them.
Their record since beating Italy reads W1D2L4, they beat Gibraltar and lost to the likes of Georgia and Azerbaijan.
