I don't have particularly high hopes for the Danish team this Euro, but we do have this Euro-final-round-track:

On Swedish football. Apparently malmö are playing in an interesting way. Resembling schoolboys crowding around the ball rather than a modern team. And it's working.

Potentially the same for Hjulmand in Denmark. Lots of criticism about relying on the same core of players.

In friendlies, Canada loses 4-0 to Netherlands yesterday.  Has another friendly against France on Sunday, before playing Argentina in the Copa America June 20.

Does Canada score a single goal in the next two games?  I'm thinking not.

Probably. Things do seem to have grown stale. I expect he himself is looking for a change too.

Probably not, especially if Davies looks again that uncommitted.

Other friendlies:

France-Canada ended 0-0 yesterday night.

Earlier on, Croatia beat Portugal 2-1.
A deserved win.

They're the Saudi sovereign wealth fund - so different. I think Forest are also owned by a Saudi royal.
