    I guess we just blindly believe him on this? Why are people so happy to lap this up?

    Oh so…San Marino is bad yes, but they’re also bad at being decent human beings on the pitch. Their winless streak is completely deserved

    For everything else, there’s Mastercard.

    Never seen so many complaints about some rough defending. Especially by an 80m player facing actual amateurs. You’d think they’d broken both of his legs

      Lol, it’s very telling that you can’t see how that only makes it fucking worse. It’s his livelihood, his job, that they were deliberately trying to sabotage by injuring him. They, on the other hand, have very little at stake.

      Defending implies an attempt to play the ball. Driving a knee into someone’s back with zero attempt to play the ball and a team threatening him with aiming for his knees isn’t defending.

      If you didn’t watch the match, what is even the point of your take on it? It wasn’t “rough” defending. They literally talked about wanting to injure him on the pitch among themselves in Italian.

      Both Højlund and Kjær speak italian, and they could hear the SM defenders say that they were going to “smash Højlund” and “go for his knees”.

        Have you ever played football at any level? Defenders say this shit all the time and Højlund was fine after the game.

    I didn’t see the match but according to the stats San Marino fouled 14 times and Denmark fouled 10 times.

    Apart from that Di Maio cunt going with the knee on the back, was the match really a man hunting from San Marino?

    Either the ref was shit or the Danes are exaggerating a bit here.

      The ref allowed a lot. There were also some free kicks made by the Danish defenders he did not give.

      The San Marino players did not do brutal attacks. It was more constant like jabs concentrated on Højbjerg. Later in the match he also contributed because he was annoyed. He shushed them. Which was not classy. Or popular. He does not normally do these things though…

      The worst one the refs missed was Højlund getting intentionally hit in the head in the penalty area, which should have been a red and a sending off, but VAR didn’t intervene because the REF waved it off.

      Other than that there were several attempted kicks at Højlund that wasn’t called, in one instance he was kicked 3 times befor finally getting a freekick because the ball was lost.

      In all honesty it started because Højlund hit a defender with his elbow and fell on him afterwards, which seemed to make San Marino’s players see red. It didn’t look intentional, but things turned ugly after that, and that was around the 30 minute mark.

      For reference Eriksen argued with the San Marino players several times, Kjær too, and those are probably some of the calmest player I’ve ever seen in football, especially Eriksen. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him argue this much with opponents.

        Both Eriksen and Kjær speak Italian, I’m sure they heard what the SM players were planning to do to Højlund.

      Looking at the number of fouls in isolation can’t tell you much. What was there nature of the fouls? Did San Marino commit fouls that went unpunished by the referee?

      What reason do Danes have to make this up about San Marino of all teams?

    The knee in the back was nasty, the rest was pretty standard. But yeah a Manchester United star played complaints about the toughness of freaking San Marino. They never get a break

    The worst part is that such behaviour and tackles are result of some rotten understanding of what a battle and a fight in football should be. The next thing is that the same player will fall down grimacing in agony on the smallest of contacts simulating in order to send an opposition player off. This is not and shouldn’t be part of the game. The whole refereeing needs a total revamp and such episodes must cease to exist.

    A player will probably have to lose his career due to this kind of “rough defending” before they take actions against this shit.
