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.

Do they play like Young Boys?

So can we all agree Southgate's days are numbered unless he wins the Euros?

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.

Speaking of friendlies, Denmark beat the ancestral enemy 2-1 recently.

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.

Wonder how that work with Newcastle Utd

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

As part of the free apple TV I've got there's free MLS.
Will I ever find the time and interest to use it?
Unlikely.
But strikes me I should do the 10 year old child's thing of having a "favourite team" in every league.
Are any of the American teams less plastic and artificial than the others? Any that are actual real teams that got signed up for the MLS corporation?
