I have never found the Scandinavians to be smug at all, they are certainly blunt though. They are generally fairly self-aware.
On the other hand, and it gives me no pleasure to say this, I find Irish people, certainly those of us under 40, to be lacking in that department and incredibly smug.

That's just my own experience though, I understand it is different for everybody.

Were you there last night? Not come across a more bunch of smug, superior feeling bunch in my life, you'd think they'd won the world cup the way they go on. But sure you'd no better having sat at home I'd imagine. 

I know this is a contrary place at the best of time but of all the counties I've visited I've found the locals to be spot on, gracious, good craic etc
Apart from the Danes, not good sports, love hurling abuse, asserting superiority and having a confrontation, not interested in having s good conversation, just talking about how much better they are, how sh*t we are, but sure that's just football banter apparently. 
You are coming across as awfully sensitive and quite emotional about it, so I think I will take your experiences with a grain or two of salt.

Stay classy 
What wasn’t ‘classy’ there? I merely pointed out that you seem to be quite sensitive, it is easy to see why based on your posts and that you may be a bit emotional about it. You try and disprove this by saying ‘stay classy’?

Great trip, lovely city in the summer, really didn't see too much of it last time for playoff, only got in late the night before the match. Our eejit quota was well down on that playoff game, there's always drunk fans at games, and bar a few lads falling over chairs, I didn't see anything resembling the playoff game, where as eireland pointed out above, the majority of our crowd were incoherent zombies or corpses.

w**kers throwing beer a good 2 minutes after the Duffy celebrations had ended wasn't appreciated though, don't see the need for it, we aren't fckin English fans. Danes, ya, some of them are arrogant, but sure so what ? We got a good few ''Denmark are going to win, you are sh*t'' comments before the game, just replied ''Ya, we know'' , gave them thumbs up & moved on, they hadn't really got anything to say to that, those lads aren't looking for a debate, they are looking for a reaction, so why give it to them ? It isn't anything personal like.

Majority we met were sound and after the football talk was done, nearly all enquired were we enjoying the visit to Copenhagen, I think the majority of them are alright anyway. Spent 3 late nights/early mornings in Moose bar, grand spot, with the local clientele changing by the hour, tis a bit of a mental oul spot. Any pub showing a subtitled version of the Big Lebowski on loop at 4.30am is OK by me anyway. 7.40am Saturday morning is when they stopped serving, just in case anyone is interested......




That sounds like a great spot.LOL

Met some absolute head the balls but the vast majority of Irish fans are brilliant representatives of our country while away. 

It felt like the celebrations in the away end for Duffy’s goal were some of the most hectic in a while, I’ll put that down to the fact that we are all frustrated by not scoring against the Danes and it was brilliant to finally get a chance to shut them up. 

Fields of Athenry, while not my favorite song, got a few brilliant renditions throughout the game. 

Agreed. Think it was a huge sigh of relief to finally score away from home against them. 



On another note, EasyJet flight from Gatwick was delayed fir over two hours. Good few lans missed their connection flight. Few lads managed to book themselves into another flight while on the delayed flight. Others weren't so fortunate
 
There were two lads beside me on that flight back to Gatwick who had missed their connection over the delay. But to make things worse they had booked another flight back to Dublin at 7 and we didn't get into Gatwick until 6.30 so likely they would have missed that as well. Saw loads of lads running for that flight.
 
Overall a grand trip to Copenhagen. Good atmosphere at the game and celebrations for Duffy's goal were class Clap

Great trip altogether. Thought the Danes were sound and sure if they give ya abuse u give it back just as good. All harmless!

Stretchryan FamilyGuy and another anonymous auld soul resulted in a great matchday experience. spunk bar, some random pizza place, cans on street, fellas falling all over the gaff for the goal and then to moose bar for a few white russians, 4am taxi to airport, more pints, some anonymous auld soul pants failing down around his ankles while boarding the plane, few pints then with KC and the lads in stansted, then to PUC last night for hurling and about 10 pints of stout. 

f**king in ribbons today but wouldn't change a bit of it.

Good trip - weather was decent, decent bunch of Irish supporters about with a welcome absence of the complete bandwagoneers this time around. The Danish fans are alright to have a chat and a laugh with, albeit I was surprised that the majority were predicting 3-0, 4-0 wins for the Danes... seemed a bit misplaced. Football was a marked improvement on Aarhus which wasn't going to be too difficult to be fair. Always nice to actually see us get an away goal also. ll in all it was a decent trip.

I was on the easyjet to Gatwick which landed at 6:30. We made the 7:00 ryanair to dublin! don’t ask me how but we did. It was carnage, about 10/12 irish lads sprinting through duty free, gas stuff. Flight left at 7:30. A few other lads didnt think they’d make it so booked a later flight from heathrow

Have to say I've got nothing but good things to say about the Danes after that trip. All interactions we had we're pleasant, some great conversations with locals in the area in front of The Dubliner. A Danish lad actually hopped into our taxi away from the stadium and then wouldn't let us pay for it. A sound bunch of lads.

Yeah, I thought the Danes were a grand bunch. The only slightly odd thing was how many people did not know the match was even on. My two highlights of the trip were the goal, and my mate acting out the video to New Order's True Faith when it was blasting out out in Moose Bar .

Fair enough all right and maybe we were unlucky with getting it every few mins and lads getting aggro and following us, was still a good trip and once you get off the beaten track a bit bars are good craic.

Everyone I talked to there seemed to think they were a bunch of pricks too but we stayed clear of the Irish bars and the likes so maybe a different experience. 

@PM, simply relaying my experience, which seems to have been different to others, don't see why you feel that emotional and to dismiss to because of that.

As much abuse as I get from my mates, it's not every two mins! 

Think reading over people's message we just had a different experience, in different areas and bars etc, I've no issue with a but of craic but what annoyed me was getting it frequently and semi threateningly, one the lads saying after I left the police came in to tell the Danes to leave it off. Another lad above said he had to leave the bar because of it.

Glad we were in the minority as t least
