Had a break with nothing to watch. Stick with Gibraltar-Liechtenstein. Was entertaining much because the referee team that their skills was par with the other 2 teams.

These two games has been the best performance from Denmark in almost two years.
But ok, on paper they were also the two easiest matches in the group. Four hard games await.

Any players in the Norwegian league are pretty much automatically disqualified for the Danish national team. Only happened when they had a Norwegian national team manager, and the player was Nicklas Bendtner..
MIke Jensen was also often included in his Rosenborg days, and played a couple of times, depite him not perhaps being rated super highly in Denmark (perhaps somewhat due to his attitude as well :) )

But now, I mean there are not even players from the Danish Superliga in the squad currently and they have been rare in recent years, so players from a slightly weaker league has logically also had difficulties getting in the squad.

And when it was players like Junker and Zinckernagel, they had been seen quite a lot in Denmark and were older, so still not sure they should have been called up.

Before the euros, there wasn't a lot of talk about Grønbæk in the squad. It was mostly Matt O'Riley that many hoped to see in the squad in that position.

At least 3 of those goald were after serious mistake by Hungarian defenders, so not sure what you mean here.
In Game of Thrones conquerors always say to the defeated side: "Bend the knee and you''ll live". As if they weren't alive right now.

I'm smarter than it shows. Just don't want to discourage anyone.

Norway with an early lead vs Austria. Brann's Felix Horn Myhre scores his first goal for Norway in his first home match.

Why does Ødegaard look so thin? Almost look sickly to me.

Ødegaard has never been a big guy. Always been on the light side.

For the first time since September 2012 Norway wins a competetive match in the last 15 minutes of the match.
