Australia just bet Denmark who bet us 5-1 not so long ago

Denmark are worse off so. And that wasn’t under “Spock”, also, it was about 5 years ago.

I was reading a few of these so called experts touting Denmark as such strong dark horses, that they actually had a chance of winning the whole thing.

Yer man Cornelius wouldn’t get a game in the West Cork Senior league.

Denmark can’t be too hectic if they’re losing to Australia and drawing with Tunisia and failing to score a goal against either. Still seems to be a fair step up for them though from hammering Eire.

Denmark played some great football at the Euros under Hjulmand. And obviously did well in qualifying.

But these 3 games, they seemed to resort to type as they had been under Hareide. Miserable, dour football with no penetration up top. Relying on Eriksen to pull out a bit of magic and he couldn’t.

Tunisia will be fair sick they didn’t get the goal they probably deserved against them; Schmeichel made one unbelievable save from Jebali.

Couple of changes for Argentina; Enzo Fernandez in, Alvarez in, Romero replaces Martinez, Molina returns.

Probably something like:

Martinez
Molina Otamendi Romero Acuna
De Paul Enzo
ADM Messi McAllister
Alvarez

Thats the most balaned team he’s picked. They’ll win handsomely

You reckon? De Paul very pedestrian, never seen Enzo in action. Otamendi is not a reliable actor. Wouldnt fanny that Argentinian team to create much

Poland playing a very out of date brand of ball from what Ive read. Argies surely get it done,even though theyre not much. The city lad up front will actually make runs too I think they say.

Acuna will give them width on the left, mcallister will fill in and do messis defensive role

Lautoro was too slow to occupy teams in behind so they could focus solely on playing what was in front of them. Alvarez has blinding pace, so messi might get a bit more time

Argentina have a route to the semi-finals through Poland, Australia and a very average Holland team.

It’s a route they should be taking. If they can’t navigate the first leg of it tonight they deserve to be going home.

I went for Mexico to beat Argentina 3-0 so I’m going for Poland to win 2-0 tonight.

That clown Tony O Donoghue takes every opportunity to get a reference in that he was in Qatar

Duff & Chippy on the afternoon game, Sadlier on the 7pm game which you’d imagine will have much higher viewing figures and is the bigger game of the day……

We are the people!

Who’s Jessica Farry?

Brilliant save from Al-Owais, Mexico should be ahead.

If us Irish were Latino we’d be Argentinian.
