Denmark 2-2 England (1982) ECQ

[@glasgowbhoy1980]

a terrific Denmark team - Preben Elkjaer, Soren Lerby, Jesper Olsen, Morten Olsen and with Michael Laudrup yet to make his mark on this team they really were impressive!

[@Tbonyandsteak]

glasgowbhoy1980 Per Roentved, Allan Simonsen and Lars Bastrup were also great players

[@remstaler3444]

Frank Arnesen ?

[@thomas-fq1wi]

One glasgow boy to another thats exactly what i was going to say , also miss that kind of atmosphere at games

[@arshosormani7067]

"Danish Dynamite " one of the spectacular sides in football history..!

[@remstaler3444]

Euro 1984 in France and World- Cup 1986 in Mexico. Denmarh was fantastic. In both Tournaments Spain was the end. Greets from Stuttgart.

[@JOACHIM779]

Fantastic match.....modern match and it was 1984....very very amazing, congratulations for DEN and ENG THIS IS FOOTBALL!

[@radjishdoekhie8464]

it was 1982 sir but an euro qualify of fance 84

[@D800Lover]

This was 1982, the year that Italy won the World Cup and this team Denmark had then, was the only team to beat Italy from the group stages all the way to the final against Germany. One of the best and perhaps *the* most exciting international team of the 80's emerged.

[@MrGianniariete]

Yep, correct! It was Demark-Italy 3-1 on the 3rd June 1981

[@Nigelpreece]

It was here that Denmark really emerged as a new European footballing force. Their implosion in the world cup in Mexico 5-1 to Spain remains one of the great mysteries of the global game.

[@heliumtrophy]

Fucking hell that goal by Jesper Olsen was a touch of class. Silky smooth. England were lucky to get away with giving away just one penalty.

[@mnd1955]

Jesper Olsen was a terrific player. Saw him in a United shirt many times. Peter Shilton was a great goalie when it came to stopping shots but couldn't save a penalty to save his life.

[@bornineastsa7370]

so true

[@gregod806]

Even though he went the wrong way for the pen, he didn't dive, he more or less laid down 😂

[@NiScontex]

i was there behind the goal when olsen scored

[@channelnumber73]

Me too:o),i was right behind shilton,walking away from the fighting,when olsen scored,i will never forget it,crazy english fans starting throwing bottles around just before the goal was scored,a man standing next to me with his wife got a bottle in the head.

[@NiScontex]

yes also they had big fights with the civilian police after game behind the goal and outside the stadion

[@olerasmussen72]

I remember the match in London danish fans look how mounted English police smash the faces with long sticks on English hooligans without warning when they start to do some troubles crazy time

[@douglassimpson5932]

2nd goal was too good, Denmark cried too much about penalties!

[@martinkimmitt3415]

How blind was the Dutch ref not to give 2 penalties to Denmark? Mind you, this was the same guy who had missed Harald Schumacher's flying kick assault - attack on Patrik Battiston in the world cup semi final.

[@jakobole]

Aha!

[@qsqss1670]

Дания тех лет ... Это незабываемо . Йесперу Ольсену отдельный респект ...

[@jozla]

nice to watch it..... my idols olsen denmark. england trevor francis...

[@damienabbott9805]

Denmark did so well to come back from behind, build on the result and then go from strength to strength in the group to qualify for Euro 84 - a tournament that they were good enough to win.

[@TomBartram-b1c]

I remember everyone saying this was a good result away to Denmark but it wasn't quite enough in the end and Bobby Robson offered to resign but was urged to stay on.

[@shoutinghorse]

I was at that game, I was a young 21 year old drunk England fan. The fighting before, during and after the game was unreal, the Danish police just didn't have a clue how to control it. England's notorious hooligans wrecked the bars surrounding the stadium and it carried on to the city centre well into the night. Headlines in the British press after read "Foreign secretary appologises to Danish Prime Minister for hooligans" I remember the ferry arriving back at Harwich on the friday morning and there being hundreds of police waiting dockside. Crazy days.

[@shoutinghorse]

@Athelstan Edwardson Yet this was in 1982, three years before Hysel and UEFA still gave Juventus half the Liverpool section seperated only by a chicken wire fence. Again the authorities never learn. Not excusing the hooliganism but some of that blame must go to UEFA & Belgium FA

[@shoutinghorse]

@Athelstan Edwardson Yeah they did. Spurs in Rotterdam, Leeds in Paris spring to mind. Man Utd too. Plus Rangers & Celtic caused trouble on their travels so it wasn't just the English.

[@chelsblue7370]

@Athelstan Edwardson Heysel was the convenient excuse to get rid of the English teams because they were winning most trophies from the mid-70's up to Heysel, and when you look at the grand picture, it took English club football some 20 years to start being truly competitive in Europe again. Italian treachery at its finest, cheats on and off the pitch at all times.

[@gordonferrar7782]

Have them back in an instant.

[@bain6655]

The Danes should have just hired some Russians instead, we've seen what happens in that scenario.

[@Resenbrink]

pick the fucking flare up and put it in a bucket of water jesus christ how hard is it

[@kov745]

Данія супер! Атмосфера неймовірна! Ностальгія.

[@henrikschmidt3964]

This was about two years before I got hooked on the game (I was five years old at this point). That last minute goal by Jesper Olsen is truly AWESOME. So sad he got broken in Mexico 86 with his backpass against Spain.

[@elshadjafar2437]

Like from your subscriber Country Azerbaijan. Baku city

[@bgb5126]

I love the guy with the viking helmet who runs on the pitch after Francis equalises and starts joining in the celebration. What a ledge.

[@thomasandersen6719]

Francis didn't equalise

[@МақсатСейілхан]

Good match

[@robinevans3440]

Keegan was dropped I remember.Never played for England again

[@jamesmcgaiver4872]

The stadium looked like an overcrowded prison ; didn't seem to comply with any safely regulations; the Belgium stadium catastrophy/stampede came to mind.

[@Asmoharg]

Aye...and it took us almost 10 more years to build a new one.....

[@stevenchampion8137]

Hard to argue with what happened at Heysel. But this was the reality at many a ground. Different times.

[@MikkelMadsen]

Yes, that was the old national stadium in Copenhagen. Almost a pure all-stander. I guess that many european stadiums were like that back then. The most infamous ones being Heysel and Hillsborough. And on top of that: Smoke bombs, firecrackers, spectators on the field etc etc. UEFA has really toughened up since then.

[@thecockfather82]

@@MikkelMadsen Sorry, is this the old Parkenstadion or another stadium? P.S.: Could you tell me who scored for Danmark?

[@darren2514fv]

What cost England in terms of Euro 84 was the failure to beat Denmark the draw in Copenhagen and the defeat at Wembley

[@andrewcorlett4795]

Back when you literally took ya life in your hands following England , PROPER ruckus in an outside the ground I recall , Barnes came on and missed a sitter which if he had scored would in the end have tuck us to La France 84 , God help us and Western Europe cos every Tom dick und Harry and their crew would have attended , OUCH

[@NUFjordside]

England was very lucky... Out-played in every angle of the game. Denmark was cheated for one penalty. Bdesides that the two English goals was a result of blunders in the danish defense. But a good game

[@Chris-hp1wy]

And this was a Denmark pre their greatest ever player M. Laudrup

[@deathkampdrone]

Introducing Jesper Olsen...

[@kailashpatel1706]

Osman produced a real good tackle prior to giving the penalty away but lets give quality to the huge talent that was emerging in Denmark...people say Osman and Butcher were not up to international quality are talking naff these Danish front men would have given any defence troubles..

[@simonspibey]

Right back is having a shocker

[@markbailey1970]

Robson picked his Ipswich defenders Osman and Butcher - neither of whom were really quick enough for international football.

[@mao555mmm]

Олсен классный мяч положил!

[@bobacrey1068]

Sadly Jesper Olsen rarely delivered in a United shirt

[@duffymoony]

Mariner RIP at 68 ffs, geez.

[@jorjevic3004]

На мой взгляд, сборная Дании первой половины 80-х была гораздо привлекательней, чем та, что выиграла ЧЕ-92.

[@qsqss1670]

Так оно и было .

[@MrJeepsters]

Robson aurait dû aligner cette équipe au match retour.

[@z3lyk]

nice mann

[@moinakbhattacharya878]

Back in those days refering was third class

[@justclosing]

Did Osman get the red card? 'cos he deserved it.

[@fuadmousa9280]

👍👍

[@jjvigatto1431]

The guys always stealing for England. Penalty

[@fredericavalli]

England had an horrible defence!

[@philipritson8821]

Osman wasn't England class

[@kailashpatel1706]

@@philipritson8821 I think England were in a post 1982 Greenwood rebuilding phase though Denmark were on their to being a class outfit..sadly England paid the price from post 1978 to mid 1980's of the FA's failure to appoint Brian Clough and Peter Taylor to manage the England team..
