Eriksen: We positively weren’t during the best

By Svend Frandsen with Denmark

Denmark’s opening 3 points during a 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia were hard-fought and really unconvincing. Against a highly-spirited and artistic Peruvian outfit, it was a opening distinct those that have spasmodic warranted a Danes a nickname “Brazilians of Scandinavia”.

When a Danes reached a Round of 16 in 1986 and a quarter-finals in a 1998 World Cups it was interjection to a stylish proceed suggestive of Tele Santana’s Brazil and Rinus Michel’s Netherlands side that now perplexed a hearts of football experts and fans opposite a world.

Tomasson: Matches are mostly motionless after 60 minutes
Saturday’s opening in Saransk, however, positively did not set a World Cup alight. There was no solid touches of luminosity in Laudrupesque fashion.

And if there is a doctrine that Ricardo Gareca’s side forgot it is that we can never leave Christian Eriksen a moment’s peace.

Before a match, Danish partner manager Jon Dahl Tomasson pronounced that many games are motionless after 60 minutes. That prophecy came to pass.
