Denmark vs Ireland 07/06/19

The level of absolute delusion on here is something to behold  Denmark are no better than us  The same Danish side who annihilated us in our biggest game in years. At Lansdowne Road, just to rub salt in the wound. A side that has plenty of top quality players. A side that made the last 16 of the WC only 12 months ago, only going out on penalties to finalists Croatia (does anyone think we would have been capable of doing that at last years WC?)

I'm all for being positive about the Irish side and believing on our day we can rattle the best of them. There is little to nothing to be optimistic about over the past 18 months though and little will change in the next year or so. That's just the sad state we are in now. Being absolutely deluded and pretending we are at a level we quite clearly are nowhere near, well I just don't know what to do with that. Btw, for the few lads saying that Eriksen isn't a really top level player  jaysus  there isn't a team on the planet who wouldn't want Eriksen imo

The same lads usually give out about the delusions of England fans too! The one thing in our favour is that I am starting to realise their manager is out of his depth.

Ajax have one win and two losses in four games against Heracles. The gap is massive.

Ireland shouldnt flatter themselves because they have held Denmark to draws. And its even more ridicolous to claim that the two nations are likewise because of that.  It is a known problem in Denmark that Denmark have problems against nations that are defending low. All nations except the top nations and a few minor technical nations always pack themselves when they meet Denmark. Its been like this for years and not something that is just an Irish thing, or achievement if you like. Denmark simply dosent like it. Despite of that they always produces enough chances to score. The problem is that they dont have a top class striker like they always had in the past. That was also the problem at the WC. Have they had one, they would have eliminated Croatia and who knows Russia in the quarterfinal aswell. They certainly had enough chances against Croatia to do that.
