Coulthard's Jaw Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 ROAD TO THE LAST 16: Wales 1-1 Switzerland - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/football/50940597 Wales weren't great but grabbed an equaliser which proved so so important. Wales 2-0 Turkey - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51197554 Turkey are bad but Wales battered them, fully deserved win. Wales 0-1 Italy - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51197631 Wales needed to avoid a big defeat and it was mission accomplished. Denmark 0-1 Finland - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51197533 A traumatic day and quite frankly should just be ignored in terms of predicting future performances. Denmark 1-2 Belgium - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51197575 Denmark actually played really well against the number 1 ranked team in the world. Denmark 4-1 Russia - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51198422 Denmark went to town on an emotional night in Copenhagen. In terms of performances you'd make Denmark favourites here, although note they don't have home advantage anymore. Wales last played a last 16 Euros game in 2016, when they beat Northern Ireland 1-0. Denmark last featured in the knockout stages in 2004, when they got knocked out of the quarter finals by the Czech Republic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tikka Mezzala Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Knockout games are different propositions, and Denmark looked very good against, an albeit poor, Russia, but I'd back Wales to get through this one. They're a solid side that have enough at the other end to score against anyone. Best of luck to them! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RTHerringbone Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Denmark looked brilliant in that second half against Russia but I just have a feeling Wales will play a blinder today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_jagster Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 It almost feels like a toss up to me, Denmark are blunt up front and Wales' strength is going forwards. I really can't remember why now but there were a couple of things in Denmark vs Russia where it seemed like the Danish coach seemed to know what he was doing in terms of details and it's hard to see how they could have done any better against Belgium really. Wales looked dreadful against Switzerland who I think are a comparable level to the Danes but I can't see them being that bad again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryan045 Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Close matchup today. I can see Wales (just) going through with that extra quality in players like Bale & Ramsey.

TM Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 slightly on topic here with Denmark being involved watched "Summer Of 92" on Netflix a few months ago, it's a re-telling of that Euros in Danish with English subtitles, bittersweet though as they show Vilfort's character rushing back to Denmark to see his daughter in hospital as she was deteriorating from leukemia during the tournament, then he scores the winner in the final, they show his daughter celebrating and then you find out she died after the tournament to uplift it a bit, it seems like that's the first shot John Jensen got on target Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CFuller Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 I actually think this is probably of the harder matches to call in this round. These two teams are greater than the sums of their parts, and I'm not expecting one to outclass the other. I can see it going to extra-time, and probably even penalties, with the Danish dark horses eventually coming out on top. I hope Wales will prove me wrong, though.

sebsy Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 I'm torn on this one. On one hand I always like to see all the UK (and Irish) sides do well when they qualify, but on the other I've wanted to see Denmark do really well ever since the incident with Eriksen. I'll just enjoy it and be happy enough with whichever side makes it through, but deep down I think I'm pulling a little more for Denmark for the above reasons.
