Is the Danish fairy tale to be tossed out of a window? - DEN v CZE

[Jah Womble]

Great finish. Schick is top scorer now.

Joint top.

[Patrick Thistle]

Really hoping this doesn't go to extra time. Both sides look exhausted.

[Amor de Cosmos]

Lot of blood coming from under that bandage

[Patrick Thistle]

Soucek looks like he is bleeding under that bandage

[Patrick Thistle]

Mehle should have done better there

[Patrick Thistle]

Another massive bandage

[Patrick Thistle]

First yellow card?

[Patrick Thistle]

Something tells me that Denmark fan is a "character"

[Logan Mountstuart]

If the Czechs equalise, which I hope they do, and there's extra time, cue hundreds of media comments about how "this can only be good for England".

Winning tournaments is about desire, not calculation. Just win your bloody match and get through, round by round. A lot of Ukrainian chickens being counted.

I learned today that Azerbaijani/Azeri has an un dotted I character and that that character is the final one in the name of the capital

Danes through. No uncontested Golden Boot for Cristiano. I will take it.

I guess the heat really did get to the players, as that rather petered out in the last 10 minutes or so, as the commentary on here indicates.

Yeah, I wasn't really craving an extra half hour by the end, unlike some other knockout games.

Tyldesley called it a "slugfest," which I presume he thinks means "sluggish."

Brutal second half at times, the Danes rode their luck a bit as they were happy to just camp around the box and let the Czechs try and break them down, which they largely didn't. I say I've turned on the Czech Republic, I have to admit that I still have some positive emotion for the team, they're not responsible for their shit-for-brains leader (although the whole Slavia Prague thing does still leave a nasty taste in the mouth) -- I have a friend who grew up in Prague as his father was an administrator at an American School there and he, along with the genius of Nedved, got me rooting for them in the aughts. While a tough loss, they did really well in the tournament.

Rainbow flag confiscated:

[Felicity, I guess so]

I noticed booking.com had gone from rainbow to blue for this game

[Ray de Galles]

I presume that's because Pride month is June.
