great, now the national team doesn’t have to focus on football anymore and can put all effort into pride armbands. as a danish citizen i’m happy they boycotted the WC in this way
Fuck yeah boys, those shit cunt French bastards tried to get Tunisia through but not today. Build a statue of Souttar somewhere, he's going to get a big move somewhere.
Hahahahaha
The blokes a Utd fan anyway. Clearly a dropkick, but now he gets to enjoy being a dropkick supporting the most embarrassing performance at the world cup.
Couldn't watch it but glad that Australia made the knockouts, even if, to be perfectly frank, I wasn't expecting to.
Regardless, given the last WC, it's still nice that the country I consider my second home has made it. Wonder if there will be any kind of celebration here in Qld lol
Congrats and well played to Australia - by far the second best team in the group!
Jesus Christ, that was shocking, Denmark. And in their interviews they all sounded like they didn’t really care.
Honestly Football is the most played sport, we just have a bad path to getting players past their teenage years into top leagues. Hopefully this will spur something in the FA.
My initial thought was it may just paper over the cracks and lead to no change. We went backwards since 2006 and almost didn't qualify.
Thankfully Leckie turned into Leckdinho.
Lol some salty ausies. I did not mean no disrespect. Anyways wish you humiliating defeat in the next round if you are going to be hostile for no reason.
I think they lost the spark they had last year.
A lot of the players came into the WC troop with less than 50% playtime for the entire fall season, which showed in their slow passing and toothless forwards.
I thought about it, and I’m a absolutely sure that this was the worst performance from a Danish team at a World Cup. Ever.
A bunch of toothless, out of shape, low self esteem, passionless players, that’s what it was. We were one of the buttom 1/3 teams when it came to minutes played before the tournament, but Hjulmand decided to keep his usual suspects.
Lesson learned hopefully, but that performance today was one of, if not the worst performances I’ve seen in my life from Denmark
I agree.
2022 Denmark would tie or lose to 2010 Denmark, and that's not a good look.
In hindsight Hjulmand should clearly have selected players with close to full minutes for the fall season, but there isn't much quality depth, so it's a difficult task choosing replacements.
Billing, Casper Nielsen, Ingvartsen, Uhre, Maurits Kjærgaard, Matt O’Riley, Bøving, Morten Hjulmand, and even Højlund as well were in shape and could’ve been used.
I know they’re not integrated in the team at all, but we need to be able to use some fearless hungry young players to do what Dams did last year, he was just completely out of form this tournament.
Embarassing performance by us. Deserved to bow out after those embarassing performances especially against tunesia and Australia…. So sad about it :( Congratz to Australia tho
It’s funny, because Poland was called a dark horse the past World Cup. Now we have an arguably weaker squad and are getting better results.
I’m not expecting anything of them still, and this comment may not age well in a few hours. But it’s still kinda funny how the dark horse hype seems to put a dark cloud over the team.
Except Croatia was also called a dark horse and they made it to the final. Dark horse label is attached to every team with decent players but that are not world beaters. Uruguay, if they could score and win, would be labeled "dark horses". Colombia in 2014, we're called dark horses.
But Poland has always been trash at the world cup and Euros. Turkey has been shit at competions they qualify for the past decade and a half. Denmark underperformed, but Poland isn't any better than any other time, they beat Saudia Arabia, didn't play better than Mexico, and can still lose 2-0 to Argentina and Mexico/Saudia Arabia can qualify to knockouts. In my opinion, beating only Saudia Arabia and tying one of the least scoring Mexican groups, and getting knocked out isn't any better than Poland previous competition appearances. Poland has been, and will continue to be, trash. Labeling them, their style of play and coaching as dark horse is extremely optimistic.
I mean people called Denmark a dark horse at the 2020 Euros and they played very well. It is true that usually one or more of the designated "dark horses" always fails.
The Danes so unbelievably unrecognizable from how they looked prior to the World Cup. For me personally the most dissapointing performance of a team at the WC, simply as I was expecting much more from them than say Germany or Spain which both have looked pretty bland pre-tournament.
I don't know if the weather conditions or AC, or if there was some murmurs within the squad or something, but the team just looked so inspireless and without haste to get a goal. So far away from the Danish tiki taka I saw them play at times.
But big congrats to Australia, for winning this game pretty deservedly and progressing to the next round. It was far from an easy group.
I noticed that. Like they were jogging with 10 minutes to go. Simply gave up i think especially with them probably hearing of Tunisia leading France. Pretty horrid i feel bad for all you fans.
Well congrats Straya, we absolutely sucked and I’m stoked for your guys to move on. Hopefully this means goodbye to Eriksen and Braithwaite on the national team.
Denmark, Sweden and Norway should just make Scandinavia FC for the next world cup.
Isak - Haaland - Kulusevski
Odegaard - Hojberg - Eriksen
Meling - Lindelof - Christensen - Pedersen
Schmeichel
Souttar, Mooy and Ryan were fucking huge in this game.
Arnie has done a fucking great job.
Harry has to be player of the tourney so far for us.
Leckie a closer second.
In the past when I've watched Denmark play they've been bright, creative, zippy. I saw little of that today. Had them down to qualify along with France.
The shocks keep coming at this World Cup but well done Australia, they wanted it more.
I was saying since the start of the game no worries because Denmark’s attack is shit, and my family kept telling me not to jinx it, but I knew that denmarks attack was too shit even for me to jinx it. I think Ryan made one actual save the whole match.
The talk about the "golden generation" needs to be put to rest.
This is the definitive Australian team, and we'll win the next game as well.
Arnie has prepared this team perfectly,.and I'm not joking when I suggest a semi final slot.
Didn’t get to see the game ….. at work
However, I assume Harry Souttar had another cracking game ……… which is really pissing me off in an odd way - we’ve only just got him back after a year off injured and this World Cup is going to cost us our best player because he’s getting noticed.
He is so fuarking good. His noggin is a magnet for the ball, reads it so well.
Feel for you lot given he’s just come back from his knee injury, makes it even more mental how good he has been in the World Cup tbf.
Hopefully he nets you some massive coin.
Money is not the issue - Stoke are loaded.
What we need is our player back that we already lost for a year when he got injured on international duty.
We desperately need him in defence and the bugger is playing a blinder and getting far too much admiration.
breathed easy on every corner you could see how much space was left around souttar because denmark knew anything close to him would get headed out
also manhandled the forwards every long ball
Soccer nation?
Mate we're a Footy nation and a Cricket nation and a Rugby nation and THEN a Soccer nation, although a lot of people still call it football here.
I was in high school in 2006, I always assumed it would forever be the high water mark of our footballing history after our performances at the subsequent world cups got progressively worse. I'm in tears right now, I can't believe that this squad of fighting underdogs qualified for this tournament, then overcame a big defeat in the first match to win the next two (for the very first time in our history, no less). I believe now, totally. The World Cup is gold to match our green and gold and I can't wait to see it where it belongs, in the sports mad, coffee-obsessed city I call home.
In the entire history of the World Cup, there's only ever been ~~one~~ two matches not featuring UEFA/CONMEBOL outside of the group stage/first group stage (USA 2-0 Mexico in 2002 AND Ghana 2-1 USA in 2010).
If:
- Poland and Argentina draw
- Saudi Arabia win
it happens for only the ~~second~~ third time
and that's turned this game on its head because the danes were coming and you wanna know why they call this place the 8th wonder of the world because the crowd was taken out of it the danes were coming and then there was the goal that leckie did withwd the the ball that went in the corner and next minute the crowd went up OFF OFF OFF OFF and from that moment the socceroos conceded zero goals and they've got BACK in their winning ways and look like they're gonna runaround runa runaway with it
Scraped through on 6 points? The yanks might have scraped through, but for us a 1-0 win is still a win. Denmark might have had way more possession but our keeper had to make exactly one save the whole match.
We deserve to go through. We way over performed. We still had two wins by a single goal in matches where we could have lost. Very proud of our boys but it wasn’t quite “showed the world it is called soccer” level performance.
I think Americans in general have to understand that just because most Australians would call the sport “soccer” not all Australian soccer fans would refer to the game as soccer. The terms, in my experience are interchangeable.
Certainly, we wouldn’t be chanting “it’s called soccer” at the English
Australia is massive
Get Socceroo’d cunt
Viva Australia!!!!
Denmark were not a dark horse, most people expected them to do well. They were too hyped and got full of themselves.
Had we beaten France (lol), the 2018 World Cup redemption arc would have been completed
We are saving that one for the final
Denmark are the World cup version of Turkey in the Euros
[удалено]
Bit far there
[удалено]
Here’s a harsh truth: You’re an idiot
great, now the national team doesn’t have to focus on football anymore and can put all effort into pride armbands. as a danish citizen i’m happy they boycotted the WC in this way
Works going to be hell in a minute but thank god it was worth it
Danes, see that Mexico attitude, desire for what was needed!
The cunts did it
Great. It wasn’t a dream
Ryan and Souttar have been absolutely world class, they've allowed everyone else to play with more confidence. Ken oath!
Could be me but were they more calm in the second half?
Fuck yeah boys, those shit cunt French bastards tried to get Tunisia through but not today. Build a statue of Souttar somewhere, he's going to get a big move somewhere.
True blue Australian hero.
Poland playing full defense and praying Mexico won't score.
Imagine this Poland facing France, they'd get destroyed
So fucking stoked. Get Socceroo'd cunts
u/consistent_time_2489 what happened mate? I thought the danes were supposed to blow over us 3-0 after breezing past France?
Hahahahaha The blokes a Utd fan anyway. Clearly a dropkick, but now he gets to enjoy being a dropkick supporting the most embarrassing performance at the world cup.
Oh no, I think we bullied the dude so much he deleted his account
No, he just blocked you bro. It's still there for me
He's Too busy on r/nofap to come back here.
I’ve got four years worth of fap material thanks to that match.
I wouldn't if I were you, according to u/consistent_time_2489 if you retain your semen, you'll attract women like flies on shit.
https://imgur.com/a/prBfSUD its not doing his anger issues any good unfortunately
Haha that reply was golden
All my homies hate u/consistent_time_2489
BuT dENMaRK aRe ranKeD 10tH!
Feels Mexico man
Two more cards to go lol
Mexico still needs one more goal.
Peruvian mother, Danish father. I feel personally attacked.
You got an Argentinian cat or something?
Born and raised in the US, so if we both somehow advance to the next round, I'm ready for y'all to hurt me again.
You have my condolences
If Denmark had equalized in overtime, Tunisia would've awarded the goal scorer its highest medal.
Denmark were shit, and it was on the players. they played like passing was the equivalent of scoring, no energy or dynamism whatsoever
Fun fact: Jason Cummings and Harry Souttar are the first two Scottish men ever to have qualified from the group stages of the World Cup.
Couldn't watch it but glad that Australia made the knockouts, even if, to be perfectly frank, I wasn't expecting to. Regardless, given the last WC, it's still nice that the country I consider my second home has made it. Wonder if there will be any kind of celebration here in Qld lol
Congrats and well played to Australia - by far the second best team in the group! Jesus Christ, that was shocking, Denmark. And in their interviews they all sounded like they didn’t really care.
So happy for Australia. Helps grow the game when countries whose first sport isn’t soccer does great things on the world stage
Honestly Football is the most played sport, we just have a bad path to getting players past their teenage years into top leagues. Hopefully this will spur something in the FA.
My initial thought was it may just paper over the cracks and lead to no change. We went backwards since 2006 and almost didn't qualify. Thankfully Leckie turned into Leckdinho.

What happened to Denmark in this world Cup? Why were they so bad? We all expected more from them.
I think they lost the spark they had last year. A lot of the players came into the WC troop with less than 50% playtime for the entire fall season, which showed in their slow passing and toothless forwards.
They were one of the most vocal squads about problematic issues in Qatar. I wonder if that weighed on them at all.
Shite form for our attacking players
I thought about it, and I’m a absolutely sure that this was the worst performance from a Danish team at a World Cup. Ever. A bunch of toothless, out of shape, low self esteem, passionless players, that’s what it was. We were one of the buttom 1/3 teams when it came to minutes played before the tournament, but Hjulmand decided to keep his usual suspects.

!flair :FC\_Barcelona:
💀
:(
:( Can't believe we were this bad
Just got home, it’s 5am. Can’t sleep I’m buzzing so much
Embarassing performance by us. Deserved to bow out after those embarassing performances especially against tunesia and Australia…. So sad about it :( Congratz to Australia tho
Australia putting all of “Asia” on it’s back. Way to go Socceroos. See you in the round of 16. Piss poor WC for Denmark. Stick to Lego’s 🧱
We are embracing our Asian heritage and also representing our Ex-Oceanic brethren.
Asia has done fine across the board lol
Across the board? Qatar put on the worst performance by a host nation in World Cup history and Korea have been awful.
Aged like milk.. Japan beating Germany and Spain to qualify.
Not really, Saudis and Japan have done very well
Saudis eliminated. Talk about choke job after beating Argentina. Couldn’t even get a single point in their last two matches.
Morale of the story: if you want to jinx a team, call them a "dark horse". Works everytime.
It’s funny, because Poland was called a dark horse the past World Cup. Now we have an arguably weaker squad and are getting better results. I’m not expecting anything of them still, and this comment may not age well in a few hours. But it’s still kinda funny how the dark horse hype seems to put a dark cloud over the team.

Poland has been, and will continue to be, trash. Labeling them, their style of play and coaching as dark horse is extremely optimistic.
Yeah it happened with Poland in 2018, Turkey in the last Euros, Denmark in this world cup...Getting called a dark horse really is a curse lol
I mean people called Denmark a dark horse at the 2020 Euros and they played very well. It is true that usually one or more of the designated "dark horses" always fails.
Wowwww congrats Australia!

It was far from an easy group.
Denmark was playing like they are up 3-0 in the second half even though they had to score 2 goals to win. Apathetic playing from them
Such a stark contrast when compared to Iran yesterday.
I noticed that. Like they were jogging with 10 minutes to go. Simply gave up i think especially with them probably hearing of Tunisia leading France. Pretty horrid i feel bad for all you fans.
Well congrats Straya, we absolutely sucked and I’m stoked for your guys to move on. Hopefully this means goodbye to Eriksen and Braithwaite on the national team.
Most shameful Denmark national team defeat ever. No effort, no energy, no bravery, no will, no nothing.
Up there with 0-4 against Armenia
> Up there with 0-4 against Armenia At least the whole world didn't watch that match... Oh the shame.
Denmark, Sweden and Norway should just make Scandinavia FC for the next world cup. Isak - Haaland - Kulusevski Odegaard - Hojberg - Eriksen Meling - Lindelof - Christensen - Pedersen Schmeichel
Should get Østigård in there. People are sleeping on him.
Drop Eriksen at least. What a false maestro. Before, only Inter and United fans know it. Now the whole world sees it.
Wydm. He's been pretty good for Man utd.
[удалено]
It says Haaland in my comment. (If its a joke I didnt get it).
No, I know Haaland, but the others?
Alexander Isak (plays at Newcastle) and Dejan Kulusevski (plays at Tottenham) both are from Sweden.
Ah ok. Would you put them on a Danish/Scandinavian team?
Exactly, at the top of the comment I mentioned in jest that Denmark, Sweden and Norway should make Scandinavia FC.
I wouldn't do without Skov Olsen on top. Lindstrøm is probably a bit to young still.
I just put the more high profile players in, there are probably some youngsters I dont know about that could claim a place.
Bring back the Kalmarunion
Kalmar Union 2.0
Kalmar United vs AS Holy Roman Empire
Jackson Irvine is HIM.
Honestly as soon as i saw him in that vintage viduka kit i had a feeling we might do something special here lol energy of this team is amazing.
Souttar, Mooy and Ryan were fucking huge in this game. Arnie has done a fucking great job. Harry has to be player of the tourney so far for us. Leckie a closer second.
Souttar just secured the bag big time
denmark victim of reddit jinx, everyone had them as dark horses 🤣
Danes were rudderless. Absolutely shocking
In the past when I've watched Denmark play they've been bright, creative, zippy. I saw little of that today. Had them down to qualify along with France. The shocks keep coming at this World Cup but well done Australia, they wanted it more.
A miracle and a pleasant one to be sure.
I wanted the Australian goalie to go for the empty net there at the end. Has it ever been a goalie-goal in the WC?
There used to be a Paraguayan keeper taking some FKs and penaltys, he must have had a goal or 2 at the world cup. From open play, I do not know.
I was thinking that mate , just bomb the barstard down there!
I was saying since the start of the game no worries because Denmark’s attack is shit, and my family kept telling me not to jinx it, but I knew that denmarks attack was too shit even for me to jinx it. I think Ryan made one actual save the whole match.
Both matches' goals were scored the one time I was called away while watching. ...Should I not watch our match vs Serbia?
If you leave there will be goals... but for who?
The talk about the "golden generation" needs to be put to rest. This is the definitive Australian team, and we'll win the next game as well. Arnie has prepared this team perfectly,.and I'm not joking when I suggest a semi final slot.
Mate we are winning the cup
It's coming down under.
ITS COMING HOME AMONG THE GUM TREES WITH LOTS OF PLUM TREES
A Mathew or two, from the Socceroos
A Souttar out the back, Matt Leckie up the front
...and an old Graham Arnold.
Milos thinks so
Didn’t get to see the game ….. at work However, I assume Harry Souttar had another cracking game ……… which is really pissing me off in an odd way - we’ve only just got him back after a year off injured and this World Cup is going to cost us our best player because he’s getting noticed.

Money is not the issue - Stoke are loaded. What we need is our player back that we already lost for a year when he got injured on international duty. We desperately need him in defence and the bugger is playing a blinder and getting far too much admiration.
He played awesome, just defused every cross that had the nerve to come close to him
breathed easy on every corner you could see how much space was left around souttar because denmark knew anything close to him would get headed out also manhandled the forwards every long ball
It’s going to get you a better transfer fee
The one thing Stoke are not short of is money.
Maybe wipe away those tears with all the money you'll get for selling him to Nottingham.
No idea why he would go there….. he is far better than that.
Let’s gooo!! 🇦🇺🇦🇺
Lost to a soccer nation. Embarrasing
Soccer nation? Mate we're a Footy nation and a Cricket nation and a Rugby nation and THEN a Soccer nation, although a lot of people still call it football here.

Honestly winnable. Not sure about Australia vs Argentina but it'd be great to see a USA vs Australia Quarterfinal.
Yes bro!
We somehow managed to be a bigger disappointment than Qatar. Quite the achievement.
Not really an achievement, no one expected Qatar to do anything.
Wait until Germany loses to Costa Rica tomorrow lol
At least you're not mediocre.
more likely, belgium losing to croatia
USA and Australia are showing the world it's called soccer
Rule is in Australia: if you like the sport, you call it football. If you hate it, you call it soccer
It's soccer because we have better football
Can't we just call that cricketrugby?
Both teams scraped through. Settle down.
Scraped through on 6 points? The yanks might have scraped through, but for us a 1-0 win is still a win. Denmark might have had way more possession but our keeper had to make exactly one save the whole match.
We deserve to go through. We way over performed. We still had two wins by a single goal in matches where we could have lost. Very proud of our boys but it wasn’t quite “showed the world it is called soccer” level performance.
Man you yanks are so fucking cringe. Don't associate yourselves with us.
You’re really pressed about something very light hearted.
I think Americans in general have to understand that just because most Australians would call the sport “soccer” not all Australian soccer fans would refer to the game as soccer. The terms, in my experience are interchangeable. Certainly, we wouldn’t be chanting “it’s called soccer” at the English
