| There's nothing at stake anymore and this predictable drop in tension usually favors the underdog. Especially since the underdog in this case Poland is extremely combative and is determined to win a match at a Women's European Championship for the first time. The Danes are out of this European Championship and to some extent they themselves contributed to this. The penalty against Linda Dallmann was avoidable as was the 2-1 for Germany, which resulted from a curious clearance attempt. A Dane unfortunately shot her own teammate in the head, which ultimately enabled the successful German counterattack. Particularly bitter was that the player hit was Emma Snerle, who had to be substituted with a suspected concussion. Whether she will be able to play in the final group match against Poland is more than questionable. This not only leaves behind sporting frustration, but also a certain anger about one's own clumsiness in crucial moments. |
