Not at all, your name is Satan after all
Bang bang bang
Do you think they'll have to give their Rolls-Royces back.? Hahaha!!!!
Didn't plan on watching this morning but needed a piss around 2:05 so ended up watching it all.
We were dominated in the first 20 to 30 minutes but hung on.
We had moments where we were the better side, but overall it was not that impressive a performance.
The best thing though is we defended well, and we were prepared to take the ball deep forward often (unlike second half v France). Whilst the quality may not have been there on most of those thrusts, it meant the Danes had to defend and respect us somewhat. They couldn't just have it all on their terms
Class will be our eventual undoing, but I think our approach in games is improving.

Far from it Jodly.
We've done pretty well for a team with 20 out of the 26 man squad being A-League products.
Pretty clear the A-League isn't trash after all as some posters have suggested.

The Football world gets its wish, a round of 16 clash of the heavyweights between Lionel Messi's Argentines and Harry Souttar's Footballroos.

Can’t believe I’m doing this but well done to Arnold and his team.
Senegal won’t be easy. France are on that side, so potentially quarter final.
England will collapse somewhere.
All us fans would love Argentina Brazil. Sucks how that draw works out

assuming the permutations work out, a France/Germany semi final is possible, right alongside an Argentina/Brazil semi. What are the odds that yields yet another Germany/Argentina final? Of course, everyone has to get there first.
Had 2 clean sheets last 2 games
That's not a fluke
It's a win for world football when Germany is eliminated early

What were you reasonably expecting?
We were up against a Top 10 side with very limited resources at our disposal.
This was a textbook smash-and-grab win, where the superior side on paper dominates possession, only to have to chase the game after getting sucker-punched by a quick counter-attack.
Many such sides eventually recover, as FRA quickly did due to their skill across the pitch, but DEN didn't because they relied too much on Christian Eriken's creativity.
Oh don't get me wrong I don't have unreasonable expectations. The best I could expect was to scrap a win, and that we did.
I liked that we weren't too defensive I thought that was bad against France, even if we were massively outclassed
What is this curse? I hear it bought up a bit.

Disappearing during big games.
Mesut Ozil had a habit of doing that while playing with Arsenal.
Its a sorta running joke, basically Ozil was made a massive scapgoat for Germany shitting the bed in the 2018 WC. He wasn't the only player who under performed, but he was dropped for games they still lost. But the German media went hard at him for that and as a result he retired from international football.
Since then, its basically "Germany have been totally shit in the Euros and WC since they forced Ozil out". Hence the Ozil curse.
They beat Argentina, thats enough to sustain their propaganda for years. Money well spent. In 20 years time they will tell people its the team who beat "peak Messi" and they will lap that shit up.
Really amazing to think come kick off against Argentina, that we will be one of only 15 nations that can win the World Cup. Simply a remarkable achievement, even if it were to end there. But long may the run continue!
