The 2nd round: Denmark vs. England

[Hagbart]

Saturday Denmark is playing England in Niigata, Japan. Who do you think will win the match? I know this poll wont be fair, because of all the English people visiting this forum. All of them will vote England all though they know Denmark has the best team!

Just look at the results so far in the WC:
Denmark won their group and scored 5 goals (beat France, Uruguay...)
England finished second in their group after Sweden, only scored 2 goals and was not even capeable of winning vs. Nigeria.

I admit England is dangerous if they get freekicks/corners, because of Beckham and some good heading players like Campbell, but Denmark will avoid this situation.

So, who will win? My vote goes to Denmark , but I guess I'm not neutral.

Denmark had an easier group, therefore they scored more goals and played more offensive football. It would have been fun to see how Argentina would have pressed back Denmark like they did to england and sweden. It's a little sad that argentina didn't go through. but they had to make way for sweden and england. England has the swedish Sven Göran Eriksson, so they may actually have a chance to go somewhere in this tournament. I vote for england, even though denmark football is more enjoyable to watch.

Go Denmark go!

England will win in regular time, but I have a horrible feeling about this going to penalties

Denmark's group was easy, thanks to France's negligence. Tomasson is looking dangerous, but the whole of the England team have picked up their game and as long as the woodwork doesn't continue to get in the way we'll be playing Brazil.

Na-na-nah! Na-na-nah! Na-na-nah-na-na-nah-na-nah!

England will win

England came through the 'group of death' - widely regarded as toughest group with no weak teams. They conceded 1 goal in three games. They have a very tough defense - Rio outstanding.

Always dangerous at set pieces and can play well on break.

They have lot of experience now - most of their players play in Champions League and are used to tough games at this level.

They can win playing badly which is what you need to do.

Denmark wont have any adavtages over England in adapting to climate.

Most of the Danish players can't make it in England's Premier League - ask Newcastle supporters!

I predict 1-0 to England after a very dull game.

England did not need to win against Nigeria and thats a nice excuse for why they drew 0-0. Well it makes sense that the game will be quite dull and so I predict the score will be 1-0 to England.

 

[The Balrog]

Typical brits. Allways voting for their own team....

 

[Dell19]

Well I didn't vote for England to win the world cup on some of the polls but we have got to expect to win against Denmark or else we really do not have a chance of winning anything ever...

News:
Starplayers Jon Dahl Tomasson & Stig Tøfting will be ready for the match vs. England. It was doubtful if they would make it, but they did! woohoo, if they play Denmark WILL win! I know it.

 

[Hitro]

I think England will win in overtime.

England on paper have the better team easily England have the best centre back in the world Rio, one of the worlds best players Becks; bascially you could do this right through the team and England should win easily. i think 2-0 win england

Go England

Go England

Like when Denmark played France:
France had Thurem, Desailly, Zidane, Barthez...
but Denmark won 2-0 anyways! HAHA! The same will happen to England...

Denmark is stronger and better, but I hope England will continue to the next phase.

Sleep with one eye open tonight!

 

[Dell19]

So the game is getting closer...If England play well then they should go through but if they do not play as well as they can, then we will crash out...

 

[Black Fluffy Lion]

England 2 - 1 Denmark

 

[AVN]

After the boring match Germany-Paraguay, the tournament can use some excitement. For example a new upset.

Therefore I hope Danmark will win. (4-3).

 

[Dell19]

How about England winning 3-2?
