An entire generation exists that thinks John McGinn is the greatest player in the world. It works.
 
Lol, how f***ing pathetic

Again, should never have been a pen, but still no excuse..

Pathetic display from the WC continues - Gonna say it again, OUT with Hjulmand NOW!
 
Dominating display by England, replacing Shaw, Phillips and Grealish with Chillwell, Henderson and Maddison made them visibly better, at least offensively.
 
Ukraine were poor, expected more from them, not necessarily get a result but that the game would be more competitive

Yeah even with the injuries for their important players, you could still field a team that beats Kazahstan...

I'd have gone with
Ronnow (Iversen)(Schmeichel)

Bah (Skov)
Andersen (Rasmussen)
Kjaer (Nicolaisen)
Maehle (Pedersen)

Norgaard (Hjulmand)
Hojberg (O'Riley)
Nielsen (Billing)

Dreyer (Odgaard)
Wind (Hojlund)
Damsgaard (Zinckernagel)

First guy off the bench. Not as enamored with him as most people (and I probably watch more Serie A than anything else). I think he's caught lightning in a bottle this year, some of his fundamentals arent there yet.

Interesting. I haven't seen much of him, but 5 goals after two qualifiers is tough to argue with...especially for a nation that has wanted for a striker for a long time.
 
I liked Hojlund in the Kazak match. The goals obviously, but he also shielded the ball well when often being the lone outlet to start the attacks, he was involved in the build-up and distributed the ball well to players joining the attack on the flanks and coming towards him in the middle. Maybe you coould argue that he might have been subbed in the 2nd half (although he didn't look tired to me).

I certainly wouldn't blame him for the loss whatsoever, it looked like the Danes were more in a disarray after their numerous subs late in the match (some of them forced because of injuries).

The two Kazak late goals were also very well taken, the long shot obviously and the cross was also a good one and the run and subsequent header was well timed. But if you wan't to blame someone for that third goal, it was the defender (Kjaer?) misjudging the flight of the ball and keeper also didn't come out to claim the ball when he could have.

If Germany can lose to Northern Macedonia then Denmark can lose to Kazakhstan. Those kind of things can happen. National teams are notorious for disjointed and unfocused appearances in mid-season qualifiers/friendlies (and World Cup group games in Germany's case).
