This really isn’t going well for Denmark. Can’t keep the ball.

Sentence could finish before the word “and” there
We (Germany) have started well against Italy. Obviously they'll score soon.
Nominative determinism.
De Jong might go down as one of the most underrated players of all time in a way. When you watch how he quietly makes a midfield tick it's rather beautiful in its relative simplicity.
And of course this isn't a penalty.
Depay? Thought he went down easily.
Van Hecke did less to get a penalty against him.
Yeah. Thought it was soft.
Dutch defense is woeful this game. No anticipation at all.
Does Ronaldo think he is Messi? So bad this penalty
Surprised to see Italy seemingly trying to play almost entirely for the counter. The game currently looks like the result from the first game was reversed and Germany were the ones chasing a goal.
Pen to Germany
I often feel like the idea of Leao is far more impressive than the actual Leao.
Joshua Kaneich!
Good penalty.
Pretty good minute from Hojlund there, 4 snappy passes, nothing difficult but done efficiently were for most of the season he has been falling over his feet.
Germany is trying to emulate peak Leverkusen tactics from last season. I don't think Italy want to play like this. Germany is having an amazing game so far. Italy are barely able to keep the ball even in their own third atm. Let's see if they find something to get into the game.

Nicely taken penalty by Kimmich. Well placed, no-nonsense shot. And a deserved lead for Germany, they've been having more of the game for almost all of the first thirty minutes.
Stiller is looking so good in midfield. Not only in distributing the ball but also bring aggressive in winning the ball. Definitely better there than Gross.
Italy is a level below. Must be very disappointing for Italian fans to see their team getting dominated like this.
Shit goal to concede.
We are steamrolling Italy wow.
Ronaldo will be gutted if he doesn’t score. He’ll want his revenge on Hojlund
Wtf, that 2-0 seems so silly i can't believe it wasn't against any rules
Agreed, I'd like to see him get more starts over Gross from hereon. Kimmich and Goretzka also have to play when fit, given their current form.
What a save from Donnarumma there, and then a goal faster than the camera was ready for it.
I can't believe that was legal!
Donnarumma
Italy barely manages to get out of their own half. Terrible performance from them so far, but extremely dominant from Germany.
Freak OG that
Against the run of play imo. Denmark were comfortable and in control.
That’s the only way we were going to score.
Just seen it now.Donnarumma
Reminds me of TAA 4:0 against Barcelona.
Well placed OG
Comedy OG from Denmark. Two centre backs jump into each other and head the ball towards their own net. Schmeichel too fat to get over and keep it out.
Such a satisfying goal.Just seen it now.
Was just thinking Hermansen could have gotten that. It took an age for Schmeichel to shuffle his feet across.
We’ve had nothing though. Portugal have had half-chances and that Ronaldo header.
There’s been half chances for Denmark too.
