Analysis: Denmark won’t be quaking in their boots, but they will be lacing them up tightly, writes GregBaum
Wherever that came from, let there be more of it. Whatever was in Australia’s water bottles, double the strength. Denmark awaits, and a glimmer.
What were weaknesses against France became strengths: crosses for instance. Much of Australia’s attack was channelled through Craig Goodwin down the left wing, which you could say is the power play in Australia just now. Jean-Paul Sartre once wrote: “In football, everything is complicated by the presence of the opposite team.” In the first match, the opposition was France, who proved to be an awful complication.
Tunisia in this tournament is a byword for playing with every last cell and sinew. But they’d studied Australia and recognised a kindred animus. They’re bracketed together in the middle powers section of the rankings, teams that cannot hope to get by on talent and flair alone. France can, Denmark too.
