The question was fine. The way it was worded was pathetic and deserved contempt. Think Kasper showed his class and humour in the way he answered it tbf 1 Link to post Share on other sites

That's how i always took it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't see that. But then I tend not to pay much attention to other countries' media. I just know ours have a reputation for asking dumb questions like this to teams or individuals from other countries, regardless of the sport...be it football, racing, tennis, or whatever. Maybe the Danes were being tongue-in-cheek. Maybe ours are too...but it always sounds like they're desperately fishing for quotes. Link to post Share on other sites

Harry Kane literally said that he'd text Christian Eriksen once since the incident a couple of seconds before a Danish journalist then went to ask whether he'd be in contact with him since the incident. Leading to him awkwardly repeating what he'd just said. Another asked if Southgate would be seeking revenge for his failures in 1996. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

While technically it was accurate, it was also needlessly self-serving and rather arrogant-sounding. 1 minute ago, boro-unger said: Not that I think it was a good question, or a bad response from the friendly ghost, but isn't the "Football coming home" thing based on the fact that football was invented/started in England, rather than because we think we're really good at it?

I thought we'd already got our revenge for 1996 over the Germans? 🤷♂️ Link to post Share on other sites

They both handled the questions well as usual though. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I hope it is a good game! The atmosphere (from an England perspective) will be incredible. I'm feeling nervous purely because it's a semi final (1 step away from the big one), but also have a feeling England may just do a proper solid job tomorrow. Although literally anything can happen! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
