They’re all British
You must admit it was funny though.
Fair play to the Danes they played us off the pitch. Yes we made it easier for them with some atrocious defending but to be fair a lot of our mistakes were the result of the Danes putting us under so much pressure when we had possession. I can see Denmark having a good world cup if Eriksen, Sisto and Poulsen stay fit.
Cheers mate, it ended poorly for you but not until the 3rd goal was I feeling safe. You lot have so much heart and had you found a 2-2 equalizer from somewhere that game would've been bang open again.
Hopefully you have one or two technical shrewd lads in your youth setup coming through the ranks, a bit more flair in the final third and a playmaker in combination with your defensive skills and you could become a truly dangerous team.
I am so hoping their fellow Oceanian friends, the Kiwis, makes a great upset tonight and knocks out Peru, as Denmark would then be 2nd seeded. That would be helpful.
How does one pronounce 'Mooy'?
Won't happen. Peru will win that comfortably. That means the toughest group England could find themselves in would be Brazil, Denmark and Japan. Or Poland, Iran and Saudi Arabia perhaps 🙂 Fireworks there !
Australia are atrocious. As much as I agree with the concept of a 'World' Cup, there really is no comparison between the quality of Italy and Australia.
The British commentators go with "Moy" but I would guess the Dutch would pronounce "Moo-ey".
I'd love to see him try out as a DM. However don't tell Klopp he's playing as a DM.
Yet the Italians had to cheat their way to the quarters past Australia at the last World Cup.
Or was it the previous one in South Africa?
It always amazes me how some teams seem to be able to raise their game during a major tournament.
I don't disagree matey, it's just that however bad Italy are, they're still better than Australia. Full stop. So, I like the fact that Australia will be there but they're not as good as Italy. I'm not sure what the solution is but, suffice to say, the Aussies will bring nothing to the tournament. Italy might have.
I had a bad feeling almost as soon as we took the lead because it dictated the gameplan for the Danes i.e. the shackles came off and you had to come at us. I don't really bet anymore (due to the fact that since I became a Dad I don't have time to do my research and watch enough football) but had I been watching the game at home I would have put a few quid on Denmark qualifying 5 minutes after Ireland scored because I was so impressed with Denmark's response to going behind.
You are the first team in a long time to really expose our limitations, we badly need to find a goalscorer and a decent foil for the goalscorer because McGeady and Houlihan are not good enough. Harry Arter hasn't re-found his form since his last injury and I'm worried he never will, the full backs are both dodgy defensively and James McClean, despite his energy and determination is shite.
We don't have much young talent coming through unfortunately so I think we have quite a few more years of doggedly trying to punch above our weight. At least we are looking in decent form for the rugby world cup in 2019 🙂
I'll be keeping a close eye on Denmark in the world cup, I hope (and have a suspicion) you'll do very well.
I didnt watch it, I was driving back from Glastonbury after a 5 day bender.
But yeah, it was funny.
It's kinda between the two. "Mow-ey" would be pretty close to it.

Yeeeeaah, Mooooy!!
He knows what time it is
Time flies doesnt it...that was Germany 2006.
You guys seem to forget Italy were atrocious in the last 2 WC, losing to Slovakia in SA and then Costa Rica in Brazil, not making the last 16 on both occasions.
... and their star defender made an unprovoked attack on Luis Suarez's teeth with his neck. Despicable bunch.
He did us a favour really because we were more efficient as a team without Suarez and he never scored in the big matches or some such bollocks.

That's just ludicrous.. I mean yeah he wasn't around when you qualified but who cares, he's like 12,000 percent better than any other striker in your team?
Silly, silly Swedes..
Oh and in other news, Spurs are supposedly adamant that any potential bidding for Eriksen starts at around £200M as he's now worth more than Neymar.
What a hat trick against Ireland can do, eh.

He isn't - but they think the market is heading that way ... I hope it doesn't because Messi should be worth ~200 million ...
I don't think he is either.. but all those insanely inflated prices makes it all very.. 'meta'.. I don't know what's right and wrong anymore.
It's all just digits and loud noises.
