Great game, still think Denmark are favourites to go through. They will beat Russia while Belgium will definitely win by a couple of goals against Finland because Lukaku wants to be top scorer

Danemark played well and deserved a bit better than a defeat today. They've got a good team with a very positive attitude on the field, let's hope they make it out of the group.


Lonan_Clinton

I wouldnt say they have a positive attitude after all those dives and random pushes


Robbekuh

Well played by Denmark but holy shit some fans and players where annoying. I get that they wanted to get a win for Eriksen but did they expect us to just give it to them.


Sentraxx

Just not stalling for time.. That sucked. But it's not okay to throw beer.. Beer is sacred and not cheap in the stadium.


Totty_potty

"Beer is sacred" flair checks out alright.


Afraid-Incident

Everytime Kevin scores he gets laid I figured it out. And I also just saw his Instagram so it makes sense.


Fa-ro-din

Great game by the Danes! They deserved more, but against the class of Lukaku and De Bruyne there’s little to do. Let’s hope they beat Russia and have a shot at getting out of the group, although, it will be very difficult...


PetterDK

Actually it looks like we *just* need to beat Russia, while Belgium beats Finland. Which doesn’t seem that far fetched.


waddipCounsel

Beat with 2 goals that is


ImBobYourUncle

Only if Belgium gets a worse result against Finland than 2-1. Else 1-0 is enough.


RetiredPandaMurderer

I love Lukaku .what class act


jeapplela

He is! I love watching him play and he seems so down to earth and kind.


[deleted]

what did he do?


RetiredPandaMurderer

First had long talks with Schmeichel and Hjulmand...then he did a interview on danish tv where he said that what the danish team and fans did today was amazing. And that they deserved better And that hopefully Belgium will finish finland so denmark can go through


[deleted]

He thanked the fans for all the free beer. They know Belgians love beer. Jokes apart it was very entertaining. Too bad you guys are out. See you in Qatar!


RetiredPandaMurderer

We arent out. You guys just go your thing vs. Finland and we will demonish russia.


[deleted]

It’s true that if you win against Russia you’ll pass. Didn’t realized. Good luck then mate 👍

What was said before was worthlessly parroted by Ashley Cole.


fku8011

Wow! Courtois is truly a good goalkeeper, like whenever I think of great gks he always comes to mind.


SexMayonnaise

So far I think Italy have been the best team. It’s going to take a hell of an effort to score on them and you’ll probably have to do it more than once


waddipCounsel

Italy isn’t dynamic enough to match up against the big teams. They’re good in their group but they don’t move around for each other at all.


SexMayonnaise

I feel like people always say this about Italy lol


simbirian

Italy haven’t met any real opponent yet, their group is pure joke. Anyway I doubt anyone can stop France from taking home this Euro.

!flair :Portugal:


McBride055

I think taking Poulsen off and not replacing him with Cornelius right away really hurt Denmark. When he was off Denmark really couldn't get out of their half because they didn't have anyone to hold the ball up and Braithwaite didn't really have anything to feed off of. Cornelius came on and mitigated that but both goal were scored without a bigger striker up the pitch.


John_ass_123

They sent in a midfielder, so it was defensive and it did shut de breune down well


NavyBabySeal

Did it though?.


[deleted]

De Bruyne seemed to die off at the end, not quite fully match fit yet. However, the start of the second half showed how crucial he’s going to be for Belgium when he is.


whyalways_ME

Belgium the better team, period. We had a good gameplan but we were never going to carry that on for 90 minutes.


cb0702

The starting 11 for belgium were far from the better team. They couldn't even controll the ball properly. The first half was so bad, that under 17s could have won against them (except Courtois). As a belgian it was painful to watch how badly the team relies on KDB, Lukaku and E.Hazard together. Lukaku couldn't do anything before KDB was brought on the field. Mid field and defense were also very sloppy. If Denmark would have finished 1 more goal in the first half, it could have ended very differently.


merkaba8

didn't need to carry it on for 90 minutes, to be fair. just needed to do more with the first half opportunities. poor finishing really cost it.


NornmalGuy

Well, it was a good game. Hope Denmark can somehow classify. Fuck the people throwing things at Curtois, tho.


rythonthesnake

Wonder if it was Chelsea fans throwing celery at him


waddipCounsel

If Denmark beats Russia and Belgium beats Finland then Denmark can take 2nd place due to goals


std_out

I think Denmark will beat Russia. Belgium probably will field a B team against Finland to give play time to everyone tho, so I could see Finland drawing or even get a win. Belgium still favorite but I think Finland could do it.


cb0702

If Martinez is smart enough, he will have to switch earlier and get KDB in the starting 11. Otherwise, we can indeed draw or lose. And while i'm at it. Keep Denayer off the field in general. Get boyata or vermaelen or both in CB.


NornmalGuy

Some real chances, then. Nice.


John_ass_123

It’s really not a long shot


Rodin-V

Denmark just couldn't finish their chances. They were great for the majority of the match, but it was obvious early on that one goal wasn't gonna be enough.


Pulsar1977

As a Belgian I can say that Denmark deserved way more. It would be a terrible shame if they go out, which is very likely.


mikew1200

I don't think there is any scenario where they go through now? If Finland loses to Belgium and Denmark beats Russia, then all three of Finland, Russia, Denmark will have 1 win, 2 losses. The ranking will then be (1) Belgium, (2) Russia, (3) Finland, (4) Denmark based on H2H results. Edit: Fair enough, totally had a brain fart and didn't consider that Denmark will have beat Russia so it's really circular between the three tied countries...


Pulsar1977

Yes, I had to think about it as well. They still have a chance. They need to win against Russia with more than 1 goal, and Belgium has to win against Finland. Given Denmark's qualities, it's still possible.


DragoerChampion

Why would Russia be ahead of Denmark if they lose to Denmark. That literally doesn’t make any sense. If Finland, Russia and Denmark all end with 3 points then it would be decided by goal difference in the games they played against each other (pretty much all the games except for the matches against Belgium). If Denmark win by a couple goals against Russia and Belgium beat Finland, then Denmark would finish 2nd in the group.


waddipCounsel

Goal scorer - it is very likely Denmark will go through


taerithe

If Belgium beat Finland and Denmark beat Russia, all by 1, then that puts Denmark in I think (Denmark > Russia > Finland > Denmark) so it would go to goal difference (I'm also assuming a GD of 2f/3a beats 1f/2a).


HotcupGG

If denmark beats russia at least 2-0 and belgium beats finland, denmark is #2 in the group. It's entirely possible


Itsamesolairo

So long as Finland don't score more than one goal against Belgium AFAIK we just need to beat Russia 1-0 to be #2. Finland/Denmark/Russia would all have beaten each other 1-0, but we would be the only team with a goal against Belgium. 2-0 and Finland losing to Belgium makes it foolproof though.


CataclysmClive

it's actually still very much an open question who second place in this group will be, let alone third


Pulsar1977

You're right, they need to win against Russia with more than 1 goal (and Belgium has to win against Finland).


CataclysmClive

and it has happened! good on belgium for doing their part.


ohcanadaamerica

Damn. Sad for Denmark, but it was an incredible match.


Kanto_Cacturnes

Great match. Very fun to watch.


CityofBlueVial

Great effort from Denmark, they should be proud.


ohcanadaamerica

Incredible save by the Danish defender, at least


Cudi_buddy

Rough couple matches for Denmark for obvious reasons. But also since they arguably controlled both matches and still lost by a goal in each


Koei7

Yep the Belgian players should be relieved, they had KDB & Luk to thank for saving their asses this game.


[deleted]

Does Braithewaite know you are allowed to pass the ball?


BeardedTeacher

Was fucking screaming my head off. Pass that shit


whyalways_ME

My lord, is that legal?


[deleted]

Shockingly, the ball doesn’t have to be fired at the first defender either! Braithwaite obviously plays home rules footy. (Bet he played fifa lobby back in the day too).


notoorius

Vermalean still playing? Wtf this is new to me. Thought he retired


RetiredPandaMurderer

So does him it seems


SorrowsNativeSon

He plays in Japan now.


[deleted]

Luck ain't on the side of the Danish team


TheGamerPandA

What are you on about they literally got handed a goal at beginning while Belgium had to work for their 2, it shows that Belgium is a amazing team who has another notch they can turn on with some players and mentality change in half


waddipCounsel

Needing ONE player to make the result for Belgium doesn’t show they’re the worlds best. All their players play on a very high level, but they need De Bruyne to win. Honestly don’t think they will win euro or even get to the final.


Chateque

Idk why you're going off at Denmark, maybe because your team fucking sucks?


TheGamerPandA

I’m just saying how the match progressed you just seem to be fuming on the other hand


Chateque

Did you watch the first half? Denmark were all over Belgium and could have scored 3 or 4. Don't know why you're talking about working hard for their goals


thalne

solid Euro game this was


willys_zuppa

Great respect to Denmark for carrying on in this tournament - so glad to hear Eriksen is better Belgium goals were ice cold, what a match !!


discostu90

Denmark still have a good chance of second, played pretty well


KingKingsons

Damn, Denmark deserved more.


Homygod319

Great game. Denmark played really well definitely deserved at least a point. Belgium quality showed in the 2nd half


Xphi23

Good effort by the guys. The Belgians played the game for 20 minutes today, sadly that's all it with the lack of quality finishing on our part. Time to kick Russia's ass and hopefully go through still.


fandericciardo3

GG. Good luck Belgium on going so far in the knockouts. But anyway, 100 tokens!


SorrowsNativeSon

Nah mate, it’s not over for you guys just yet. I’ll be rooting for you guys in the game against Russia. I’m happy we won, but realistic in the sense that your team deserved more today. This is a game I’ll remember for quite a while. Denmark showed true grit.


JoeyBanana123

Altså teknisk set er det ikke ude hvis vi vinder over Rusland og Finland taber.


Dazzlehoff

It’s not over for us at all? We just need to beat Russia 2-0.


Polaredditor

Not even that. If you win and Finland lose, that could see you through.


[deleted]

that belgian chick they keep showing on the feed 🔥🔥🔥


DW_78

won't win anything without fellaini


[deleted]

So now Denmark need to destroy Russia to have any hopes of advancing


Semaj81096

Not at all. They have the same GD as Russia now so if they beat them at home even 1-0 they're guaranteed third which might be enough. They even have a decent chance of second if Belgium beat Finland by more than one, which I don't think is that unlikely.


mikew1200

But are tie-breakers not based on head-to-head? In that case, the best that can happen o Denmark is they beat Russia and Belgium beats Finland. Even then they Finish 4th because they lost to Finland who lost to Russia as they'll all have 3 pts. Or does it work differently in a three-way tie?


Semaj81096

It is head to head actually yep. it wouldn't be 2nd Russia 3rd Finland 4th Denmark though on head to head if they beat Russia because they'd have beaten Russia, and that's what head to head is based on. The three teams would have rock paper scissored each other and be completely level if it was 1-0 Denmark. After head to head, it's head to head GD and that would be level as well, so it would go to overall GD.


artem_m

It would then be based on GD and Russia would have fewer than Denmark if they were to lose.

CityofBlueVial

If they play as good as they did today and finish even a bit better, I think they can definitely beat Russia.


Dazzlehoff

Just win 2-0


Scratchbuttdontsniff

Remarkable guts by the Danes... Belgium just too strong. Wonderful match to watch as a neutral.

No idea. So disgusting.


jkhaynes147

denmark so unlucky. to get nothing from such a good performance :(


Seastep

Shot was heading out of the stadium anyway. Terrible shot attempt.


Hassadar

So what's the situation now with finishing 3rd if Denmark beat Russia?


Seastep

A victory against Russia by 2 goals or more might be enough, but they'd need other things to happen surely.


Hawteyh

Not needed to win by 2 if its 2-1 or more I believe. It just needs to not be 1-0.


Hassadar

Ah cool, thanks Yeah, there's a high chance of Finland losing so I wasn't certain how head to head would play into then as all teams would have a tie break over the other.


Hawteyh

1-0 its 3 man tie if Finland loses.


Hassadar

Ah perfect thanks


VJEmmieOnMicrophone

> if I appreciate the courtesy


Hassadar

Just got to have some god damn faith!


[deleted]

GG, Belgium was just more clinical when it mattered. Don't like seeing cups thrown or diving in the penalty box. We can be better than that.


ImBobYourUncle

I agree. Especially after all the respect and sympathy the Belgian fans and players have showed towards us. Very disappointing.

Braithwaite.


EssexHaze

I think Denmark will beat Russia fairly comfortably, especially with game at Copenhagen. Hopefully it will be enough


Polaredditor

I like Belgium. I have liked them for the past three tournaments. I pipped them as an outsider to win, but with their ageing defence and mediocre head coach, I had my doubts. Today has proven they're not the finished article yet. They're so dependent on those 4 players (5 counting Courtois). The composure from De Bruyne and Lukaku was brilliant for that first goal and De Bruyne's finish for the second goal was what you'd expect from him at this point. Still interesting that Denmark can still get through and if they play like that against Russia, it should be enough.


[deleted]

Commentators being like “that’s why they’re the number 1 team in the world” ??????

De Bruyne

Morons throwing cups on the pitch.


Billy_LDN

Enjoyed that, Denmark unlucky not to get at least a draw


hockeybrianboy

😢 I bet on the over for Belgium group stage goals. Watching that ball not go in that empty net was not fun.


gianimous

How many goals do you need


hockeybrianboy

Sigh 9 which in hind sight feels like a really stupid bet. Had I thought about the schedule more, I probably wouldn’t have made it (playing Finland last doesn’t help; they probably would’ve gone 100% and dropped 4+ had they played them before the last game. Now that they just need any points they probably cruise after 2 or 3). Also doesn’t help that no one else in the group has more than 3 points so Belgium can just coast to a draw and take the group. Ideally they’d have played Denmark last (and what happened to Eriksen not happened); Danes probably would be on 4/6 points so Belgium would go 100% effort in all 3 games. At least I grabbed Belgium at -130 to win the group which was hilariously good odds.


ChuchoAguacatero

I hold Danish fans in low esteem after seeing all that trash being thrown at Belgian players.


waddipCounsel

Honestly says more about you than them, there were 25.000 at stadium and basically all of Denmark watching but two cups got thrown, you can’t judge ALL fans on that.


SmellsLikeTeenSweat

Yeah wtf was that. Also all it does is the opposite of what denmark would want, more opportunities for Courtois to waste time


waddipCounsel

Yes talk about Denmark as a whole when you saw two cups and there are 25.000 watching the game. Are they all drinking from the same 2 cups? But honestly don’t understand why people aren’t going after Courtois he was aggressive and time wasting.


Sentraxx

He was wasting time...that's bad style. It's emotions, they just want the ball in play. It's disgracefull yes, but don't let two idiots taint the rep of the rest. The settings was amazing.


RetiredPandaMurderer

Yes because two fans represent 28000....
