Stranded Brilliant nights entertainment so far. Twists and turns all over the place.

A goal by Russia or Finland changes it all again.


and there it is, Denmark score again.


I even punched the air as it went in. Unless Finland score then looking like Wales Denmark on Saturday.

John Madejski's Wallet Quite like the Finland kit. A touch of the in-your-face old school about it

I like them too, a shame they are finished though.

Denmark are a quality side and the one we needed to avoid. Can’t see us beating them in the last 16.

Wouldn't expect Denmark to be allowed to walk through Wales the way they are against Russia. The Russians well and truly gave up after Denmark scored their second.
Can see Wales making it very hard for Denmark at the weekend, certainly not a gimme for the Danes.

Agreed but understandably there feels like a momentum building behind the Danes after this result and earlier events.

They'll lose the home advantage which helps them massively. They are extremely well backed, great supporters who are a 12th man. On paper they are certainly favourites but I have a funny feeling Wales might upset them.

It’s also going to be like a home game for them. No Wales fans allowed in Amsterdam so any that do sneak in will be massively outnumbered by the Danes.

Oh really? Didn't know that. Yeah that could be key. Real pity Wales supporters can't go and enjoy it.
Don't get me started on the COVID restrictions. Laughable, unfair and ambiguous.

So today's results guarantee that any side getting to 4 points qualifies.

So England, France, Sweden and the Czech Republic have just qualified alongside Denmark.

It seems incredibly unfair Wales fans are banned but the Danes are free to go.
Knowing our luck Erickson will be passed fit to play. :?

Ah yeah, UK nationals barred from Netherlands at the mo aren't they, unless resident.

Another Brexit bonus there.

The Christian Erikson effect. Think they wouldn't have been anywhere near as good had that not happened.
As for Russia, I wanted them, that are crap. They were even barred from holding sporting events of any kind, so how they got this is beyond me. Some officials somewhere have had their pockets lined.

Not sure there'll be many Danes either, the borders aren't exactly open yet. 10 days quarantine on arrival in the Netherlands.
Anyway I'm pleased for the Danes after the traumas they have had so far. Kind of got sucked into wanting them to win.

They have a chance. It will come down to goal difference. It will help them if Croatia v Scotland ends in a draw.
