But Corrales is hitting back too

Please, don't embarrass yourself...🤦

In all fairness, I think leaving things unresolved was actually the most honest way to go...

It was such a fantastic game 🙏

What an incredible goal from Svana 🙏
...

It is truly wild how many twists and turns we're seeing in this game, though I have to say this Mensah is proving to be quite a disaster, and I honestly can't fathom why the coach keeps him on the floor when he's already missed two easy layups and even managed to push a wing player out of position from a complete dead angle...

Good grief, Mensing has an absolute cannon for a leg... though I have to admit, looking at these shot speed metrics, I can't help but feel they might be a little bit off... 🤣

Giving up 11 points in just 15 minutes only to walk away with a two-point lead is a precarious way to play... It’s going to be a messy one, especially since the US Soccer squad looks significantly weaker with this current lineup

They’re calling it an injury...
I wouldn't be entirely surprised if he just isn't mentally prepared for this level of play...

Gidsel went down in the very first minute, and seeing how that knee buckled out of nowhere, it really looks like a ligament issue... such a shame for a young talent...

Hansen isn't here

😬

I honestly don't see the issue here, especially since the initial point was about how they seemingly let things slip during the game right after they had taken the lead...

Furthermore, there is the matter of how they carefully calculated their roster selection before the matchup even began...

I actually do think they held back just a touch... Not necessarily because they wanted France to advance, but more like they just let the other team have their moment and saw where the chips fell...

I think I might end up quoting myself again later...

They always seem to be struggling, but in my opinion, they are the only ones truly capable of winning Dance. These seasoned veterans always find some tactical way to stay in the hunt. But if you ask me, the most vital part is that they have two goalkeepers who could both single-handedly win a match, and they always step up when it matters most...

Robert Doyle8 said:Give me a break. You'd actually be happy about it just because of some guy...

I am genuinely pleased that Denmark lost, even if it was against Spain...

Riber outmaneuvered them with pure tactical precision🙏

I can't help but wonder why Joan Canellas is busy reminiscing about the good old days instead... 🙏 🙏

Jack Kelly5 said:Hansen actually moved more units than everyone else combined while the rest just skipped out on the action.
Lauge practically wet himself trying to act tough.
😬

Well, he was forced to make things up constantly because everyone else was too terrified to step up... I'm playing this guy for real...

Robert Doyle8 said:Jacobsen is being such a stubborn mule. It’s clearly not working for Mensaha, yet he keeps him on the field when we have Kirkelokke sitting right there on the bench, the guy who absolutely dismantled the French team...

Sent from my iPhone

I don't see how those two things are even related, because Kirkelokke is a defensive specialist, so his only real purpose is to get Gidsel out there...

Honestly, I could probably make a decent profit just by betting on this mess... 🙂

To quote them, you can simply never underestimate this team, as they are tactically flawless...

And that’s precisely why he was ejected while Holm was pulled inside...

It isn't that Hansen is performing poorly, rather it's just that all the pressure seems to be centered on him... The real issue lies elsewhere, specifically with how someone like Lauge struggles to capitalize on the opportunities provided

Even with a score of just -1 against Landin, their tactical execution was absolutely brilliant...🙏

I am genuinely impressed by how the Spaniards are handling their defense; they move in perfect unison like an accordion, constantly lurking for that perfect interception. They’ve managed to stifle the tempo, and Denmark has completely stalled because everyone is just waiting to see what Hansen does next, while they leave Gidsel isolated—and he is such a force in one-on-one situations. It is truly relentless...

Individually, they might be a bit of a toy 3 class compared to the opposition, but they are holding their own, and honestly, it just goes to show how much of a difference a great coach can make...
