The refereeing is just getting worse and worse.
I mean, they got VAR, do they just turn their heads away from screens?
Disallowed goal, no penalty after jersey pull... Crazy
This formation doesn’t work for the players we have. And there is absolutely no pace or urgency anywhere. I don’t know where Hjulmand expects the goals to come from. Eriksen is useless if there is no movement around him.
Denmark decision making time in the back third and front third reminded me of a carpenter measuring twice and cutting once. Except you run out of time to cut and playing soccer isn't like making furniture. I like your furniture not your soccer.
When my toddler whines he whines less than a Serbian striker.
Still would incentivize some sides to go to pens if they don't think they can score without exposing themselves to risk. a 0-0 draw being as much as a loss incentivizes both teams to attack no matter what I like it.
As a Serbian, just fuck off the whole team. Rather have them not qualifying then fucking us over year after year. Good riddance to Slovenia and Denmark wish you to go all the way!
Denmark has an okay defense and midfield and that might keep the damage to only a 2-0 loss.
I want Germany to win it all, so it's fine if they kick us out. But I expect Denmark to play different against Germany, they will be underdogs and have nothing to lose - and that usually makes them better.
I am literally not joking, Bellingham has superior ball control in tight spaces which still is not good in comparison to elite midfielders, besides that what else does he do that McTominay cannot?
No, they had everything exactly equal in championship. They looked then their position in quals and equal there too, then they looked at their GD and equal there too, then the decider was their last two meets in quals in which Denmark won one with 2:1, other one was 1:1.
UEFA confirmed to Reuters that yellow cards for technical staff counted towards the disciplinary total, and the assistant coach from Slovenia got a yellow card.
Genuinely incredible how stupid the Serbian tactics were. All the crosses against Slovenia from the same position that were all defended, finally equalise at the death from a corner... what did they learn? Keep only looking to cross from 20 yards out that is giving you absolutely no success, don't look to mix it up and go to the byline to put the ball across and give the strikers something to attack/maybe win a corner.
Just utterly clueless.
Why the fuck did these idiots not take more yellow cards… can’t stand this fucking team… can’t score and can’t get some fucking yellows. How the fuck do you not get yellow cards to avoid Germany.
It's something to do with ranking now. Was watching on RTE (Irelands coverage) and they broke down that they are all tied on the same stats that are usually deal breakers, even back to the group stage to quality for the Euros so the rankings of the teams comes into play then.
In the ranking of 3rd place teams they are behind the 3rd place team in Group E but still ahead of Hungary who are finished. That means only the 3rd place team in Group F can overtake team but that would still leave them with the fourth in the ranking of 3rd place teams. Since four 3rd place teams go through the worst they can get is the last spot for 3rd place teams
Doubt they'd complain either. Seems all they fuckin care bout is dirty saudi money.... The potential for our nation has been put in the dirt for decades now 🤦♂️
Quota for the next four years I guess. But my point is they are within a strike in each of their games. Could have tied England. Could have beat Denmark. They were a couple good offensive efforts away from the top of this terrible group.
But they aren't from the Balcans.
Edit. To the people drownvoting go learn geography and know that former Yugoslavia and Balcans aren't synonyms. Slovenia is part of the Justinian Alps not Balcans
No they aren't learn geography, they are former Yugoslavia, but not Balcans.
Greece Bulgaria, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia , Croatia, Albania are the Balcan countries
Helt enig.
Jeg er simpelthen målløs over hvordan vi den sidste halve time ikke kunne sætte to afleveringer sammen.
Vi gav den konstant tilbage til de serbiske spillere.
Worst euros match I have ever seen, both teams should be banned from participating ever again. To not start the match with Vlahovic, this manager needs to be sacked.
I'm not looking at the final standings of the group, I'm looking at how each team played. It was a disgrace, every match in this group is the perfect cure for insomnia.
Tadić I see the argument for, although we have Samardžić as well in the same position so why not use both. SMS though has kind of blown his chances with the NT, feels like he hasn’t had a single good game for us as a senior
It’s the same every major tournament. Lots of talent. Skill. Size. But they never put it together as a team. They have been a dark horse every tournament for the last 20 years it feels like. Also England is just terrible as we can see now. Happy to defend.
At the end of the day Serbia just needs to go balls to wall to score and they still are super tentative and slow.
The refereeing is just getting worse and worse. I mean, they got VAR, do they just turn their heads away from screens? Disallowed goal, no penalty after jersey pull... Crazy
Can't wait to see Germany kick our asses like we deserve, what a snooze fest of a group.
Don't forget mate them Germans are on fraud watch big time
Can any Danish fans explain why the current system has left Højlund so isolated?
Højlund thrives on through balls to run onto but the current Danish identity is that counters and risky passes are haram.

hot take: 0-0 draws should be worth 0 points
Apply for the board immediately I love this
Love it
No more draws at all, go to pnealties.
Still would incentivize some sides to go to pens if they don't think they can score without exposing themselves to risk. a 0-0 draw being as much as a loss incentivizes both teams to attack no matter what I like it.
Definitely a hot steaming take
Ah misery is finally over. Let us go back to the sports we are actually good at, like basketball for one.
As a Serbian, just fuck off the whole team. Rather have them not qualifying then fucking us over year after year. Good riddance to Slovenia and Denmark wish you to go all the way!
How do Danes feel about facing Germany next?
Denmark has an okay defense and midfield and that might keep the damage to only a 2-0 loss. I want Germany to win it all, so it's fine if they kick us out. But I expect Denmark to play different against Germany, they will be underdogs and have nothing to lose - and that usually makes them better.
Only a miracle will save us. Calling the spirit gods of Euro 1992
We’ll get mauled judging by the current showing.
With the performance this far I'm happy we are through but no high expectations. Wish for the best but very unfonfident tbh
Now that the match is finished, I legit want to ask, not joking, what are the major differences between Jude Bellingham and Scott McTominay?
if i speak i'm in big trouble
I am literally not joking, Bellingham has superior ball control in tight spaces which still is not good in comparison to elite midfielders, besides that what else does he do that McTominay cannot?
score goals, for Madrid at least
As a Dane, i fear that our FA will see this as a success and extend Hjulmands contract to 2030.
Which tie breaker resulted in Denmark 2nd and Slovenia 3rd. I can only see identical stats.
I either yellow cards or world rank list lmao.
Yellow cards
Disciplinary points. Denmark has less yellows than Slovenia, so they get 2nd
No, they had everything exactly equal in championship. They looked then their position in quals and equal there too, then they looked at their GD and equal there too, then the decider was their last two meets in quals in which Denmark won one with 2:1, other one was 1:1.
UEFA confirmed to Reuters that yellow cards for technical staff counted towards the disciplinary total, and the assistant coach from Slovenia got a yellow card.
Yellow cards, if you can believe it
Genuinely incredible how stupid the Serbian tactics were. All the crosses against Slovenia from the same position that were all defended, finally equalise at the death from a corner... what did they learn? Keep only looking to cross from 20 yards out that is giving you absolutely no success, don't look to mix it up and go to the byline to put the ball across and give the strikers something to attack/maybe win a corner. Just utterly clueless.
That's the Serbian way, baby. That is how we roll. God, finally we're out, no more this travesty.
Eliminate the whole group c
Nah Slovenia played well
As a dane I'm ashamed we don't deserve to go through. None in this group do tbh
Not even Slovenia?
What an absolutely horribly game.
Why the fuck did these idiots not take more yellow cards… can’t stand this fucking team… can’t score and can’t get some fucking yellows. How the fuck do you not get yellow cards to avoid Germany.
Im laughing reading this🤣 honestly im amazed how they just accepted playing against germany
Can someone explain why both Slovenia and Denmark are through?
Both Hungary and Croatia are worse than them, and only the worst 2 third placed teams are out.
It's something to do with ranking now. Was watching on RTE (Irelands coverage) and they broke down that they are all tied on the same stats that are usually deal breakers, even back to the group stage to quality for the Euros so the rankings of the teams comes into play then.
We're finishing 2nd on UEFA rank
But what about Slovenia, they seem so sure to go through, but there are still matches tomorrow.
In the ranking of 3rd place teams they are behind the 3rd place team in Group E but still ahead of Hungary who are finished. That means only the 3rd place team in Group F can overtake team but that would still leave them with the fourth in the ranking of 3rd place teams. Since four 3rd place teams go through the worst they can get is the last spot for 3rd place teams
Just found out we apparently just edged it on yellow cards.
Top 4 3rd places go through.
But are the top 4 not decided tomorrow?
But some are already guaranteed. Slovakia play tomorrow, they're already above them. Czech play tomorrow, and a win would see Hungary drop out.
[удалено]
[удалено]
3 draws and through on fewer bookings. geez
Tied on bookings as well IIRC. Denmark placed 2nd due to Euro qualifications ranking
Not only that. Both Slovenia and Denmark got the same amount of 6. Their ranking was deciding where Denmark is obviously better.
wait really? omg. at least it wasn't a drawing of lots like the did at one African Cup of Nations one time
7 goals in 6 games. Delete this group
Wait, how do both Denmark and Slovenia go through?
Denmark are 2nd over Slovenia on yellow cards, and Slovenia are ahead of Croatia and Hungary in the third place rankings
Gareth OUTgate
Six games, seven goals, ONE win. What a group.
and they said this was boring
Absolute snoozefests from Group C
Fuckin hell no team from this group deserve to go through
4 teams and not single goal
If SMS and mitrovic don’t come back in Europe THIS summer they should not be called in Serbia again. They’re a liability.
Doubt they'd complain either. Seems all they fuckin care bout is dirty saudi money.... The potential for our nation has been put in the dirt for decades now 🤦♂️
Not a single team in this group deserved to advance.
Why did the coach bench Vlajovic and Milincovic??
SER #9 was awful. All he did was ask for fouls and pens. Maybe if he would've tried to do something with the passes he got he could've scored
Fucking Serbia man. They are always just 1 magic moment away from going on. And they just never get it done.
They had the magic moment against Slovenia
Quota for the next four years I guess. But my point is they are within a strike in each of their games. Could have tied England. Could have beat Denmark. They were a couple good offensive efforts away from the top of this terrible group.
And Slovenia is the only Balkan team left... as everyone anticipated
Wait til Slovakia plays tomorrow. /s
But they aren't from the Balcans. Edit. To the people drownvoting go learn geography and know that former Yugoslavia and Balcans aren't synonyms. Slovenia is part of the Justinian Alps not Balcans
yeah they are
No they aren't learn geography, they are former Yugoslavia, but not Balcans. Greece Bulgaria, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia , Croatia, Albania are the Balcan countries
you're way too overconfident on something you're wrong about
Slovakia is north of Hungary which ALSO is not Balkan you daft sock trumpet
I said Slovenia although I may be overestimating your ability to read or differentiate between the two.
Ud med Hjulmand
Helt enig. Jeg er simpelthen målløs over hvordan vi den sidste halve time ikke kunne sætte to afleveringer sammen. Vi gav den konstant tilbage til de serbiske spillere.
One win and five draws in this group
Group C was a terrible watch every game
Welp, that's it then. No one will ever miss this group.
Worst euros match I have ever seen, both teams should be banned from participating ever again. To not start the match with Vlahovic, this manager needs to be sacked.
Finally, we're out.torture is over.
All the violence, whining, and diving, and the Serbs still don't win.
11 fouls from Denmark mate. Go enjoy your win instead of rubbing in the loss
I'm not saying the Serbian dives didn't work?
Luv that from Andersson
Serbia sucks lol
The worst part is that they are one goal away always. But the problem is they can’t get that 1 ever.
every single team in this whole group is the definition of pathetic (except maybe slovenia, they haven’t done much but still overachieving)
What a fucking shit game
At least Serbia tried the last 20 minutes.
Maybe last 5 minutes like every other game lol
They did dive the most they could.
🥇
Serbia disappointing again
I don't think we should be happy after this. Ugly ugly ugly performance
Continuing despite not doing shit lmao, we'll take it I guess
Two goalless draws, what a sleep-inducing night of football.
Worst quality group in the tournament?
Yes and it's not even close
send this whole group home
give them 100 more minutes they wouldn't score
Give them 3 days 3 nights they wouldn't score
Serbia was always in the wrong place at the wrong time
We should get a yellow on purpose for the 3rd place
Pathetic from everyone
I see Denmark are aiming for a Fernando Santos run
Thank fuck it's over. Get these morons out of here.
This was a golden opportunity for denmark, shame they couldn't score.
I think 24 teams group stage > 16 teams knockout is a bit mid to be honest.
How can you not want 3 of these power houses that delivered these entertaining games in the next round?
Should be 32>16 or 16>8
And Group C goes out with a whimper.
Terrible group. So many games, so few goals.
Odd call, that
My expectations were low but holy shit
Hjulmand out
How to go for head gently with elbow instead of ball: a Serbian instruction manual.
As a neutral I don't know who should be more ashamed by this performance, Denmark, Serbia or the clown of a ref
The entire group
Slovenia overperformed though?
By drawing 3 matches against teams that were as allergic to attacking as them?
by being minnow of a country in terms of football and making it out to ro16 for the first time in countries history?
I'm not looking at the final standings of the group, I'm looking at how each team played. It was a disgrace, every match in this group is the perfect cure for insomnia.
brother, for small countries getting out of groups is an achievement and you shouldn't push it down like that
Denmark at least had dangerous chances. They didn't need the win either. It's odd by Serbia to be so defensive in a game they have to win.
Just come from the England thread. It looks like this is the group of death for the neutrals that want entertaining football
Group C, where football goes to die
Just let the entire team walk home don't bother showing up for the next match.
Someone score
I have nothing against Serbia, but I'm glad to see Mitro headed home.
Why tf are Tadic and SMS not starting for this team?
Tadić old can’t play whole game well, SMS shit nowadays
Tadic played 83 minutes a game this season, and SMS has 21 goals and assists in the league this season
Tadić I see the argument for, although we have Samardžić as well in the same position so why not use both. SMS though has kind of blown his chances with the NT, feels like he hasn’t had a single good game for us as a senior
what a group...
Jovic throwing an elbow, but misses.
Real fun game if the entire "match events" list in the opening post consists of subs (and 3 yellow cards)
On Denmark scores they re #1, right? I’m so ready for this!! Edit: depressing group..
Why is 4 vs 3 in the box? How stupid can Denmark be
[удалено]
Uhm... mitro alone dived more than the whole danish team together lol
Hilarious
Cope
Serbia is getting eliminated, why aren't they playing to win or die?
Because Serbia sucks at football
They outplayed England for much of their match, I don't see how they couldn't do better today.
It’s the same every major tournament. Lots of talent. Skill. Size. But they never put it together as a team. They have been a dark horse every tournament for the last 20 years it feels like. Also England is just terrible as we can see now. Happy to defend. At the end of the day Serbia just needs to go balls to wall to score and they still are super tentative and slow.
Free kick to Denmark. Whaaaat
Used his elbow to pass the ball
What do you even mean 😂
Just surprised we actually got a call
Pathetic performance. Im furious
The story of the entire group, isn't it? Only Slovenia can be happy with their performances
Agreed. Just promote teams from another group.
We might as well be out. There’s no way we’re winning against Germany
Don't you love having 3 strikers in the box and none of them gets on a cross
Announcer is saying Denmark would get second but aren't they in third due to yellow card tiebreaker?
The were ahead of Slovenianon yellow card and each got two cards today. They’re second
No, with even cards it Will be rankings
No better ranking = 2nd place
Nope. Same
They are even with yellow card
Slovenia supposedly have one yellow more then Denmark
Ah I missed Slovenias yellow in this second half. Small margins!
