Fabulous game, which I was forced to watch with a bunch of people who don't like football at all, for some reason. I was glad we got one belter at the BBQ though, and this was it.
Both teams attacked well, and could have scored three or four each. Denmark scored a couple of well taken goals; the first was probably the best of the tournament so far: Kjaer's long pass, Rommedahl's control and low ball, Bentdner arriving perfectly. Rommedahl's goal saw another great pass from Bentdner (who I rate, incidentally: he misses chances, and seems to be a bit of knob, but he scores crucial goals, and has a good touch at times) but some absolutely shit defending saw Rommedahl shown inside into five yards of space, from where the finish was simple.
Denmark will hopefully get through: they have players who know what they're doing, and I think they might yet surprise someone in the knock-out stages.
Cameroon looked spirited, but are the first team to be knocked out of the World Cup; maybe if they'd shown similar spirit vs Japan, they would have got something out of that, who knows? Emana, Etoo and even Geremi all looked dangerous at times, but they'll be no great loss.
