Denmark and Ireland looking forward to the sixth inter showdown in just two years.
And it is sad, if you ask Keith Duggan, who is a writer for The Irish Times.
Before Monday’s qualifying crash, the irish journalist, in a column described, exactly how little he looks forward to, otherwise, on paper, should be it is quite heavy drama.
According to Duggan, there is talk of a rivalry that has produced four times 90 extraordinary eventless minutes, where two technical uoplagte teams have been drifting from the start, the referee’s whistle and sigh of relief sounded at the end.
Something passionately arvefjendeopgør it develops enough never to, for the two teams is simply too tired of playing against each other.
this is the message in the column, where it is evident that the writer really does not look the least for the upcoming match.
It would then only be for the final to get it over with and move on in the text. A text in which the irish writer even hope that the two nations roads are not crossed in many years.
– Ireland and Denmark reminiscent of Brad and Angelina in Mr. and Mrs. Smith. The idea was fine. But the chemistry was just not there. And the awareness has engendered contempt, believes Keith Duggan, who goes so far as to say that the English-irish 0-0-showdown is so depressing that they can get a football fan to ‘to question the very purpose of their existence.’

But the Irish Times journalist is not finished with the comparisons, which should illustrate just how ‘fascinating horrible’ a series of battles, the two national team has orchestrated.
He believes that the republic of Ireland-Denmark is a play by one of the ‘ larger nationalklenodier, the playwright Samuel Beckett.
Beckett was known for his absurd and often tragicomic spectacle, and a match between the two nations are to see one of his pieces ‘interpreted through what is a very vigilant guard may be perceived as the football’, is it.
– the Whistle sounds, the fight starts, you due confused through the physical delirium in the hope of actually seeing the ball, and so, many, many, corner kicks and off-sides later ends it. As a rule there is no loser or winner, and very often there is no target, writes Duggan and continues to sum up the irish and Danish reactions that usually follow in the wake of the usual debacle.
– The irish manager will say that he is satisfied with, if not achievement, so the result. The danes will politely suggest that the irish are shit, what applies to football, and, by inference, life in general. Then they will take the aircraft home, even though they would be glad to ride a bike, if we just did some trails out, and hope that they should never meet us again.

The Danish nation will also get a few mixed words. Denmark feel supposedly raised over the irish, because we believe that we are fodboldmæssigt superior, and oh, so proud of our use of bicycles as means of transport, and high living standards.
We are actually so smooth and perfect, that we make the irish people uncomfortable and suspicious, writes Duggan. And boring is we also, with so functioning of a society, there may not be much room for much ‘craic’, an old irish word for fun and games.
As example is Copenhagen, which, in contrast to Ireland be described as a pleasant utopia with beautiful, well-dressed people and no trafikproppe.
– When the people are confronted with a city like it, so they can’t help to think that there has been no sale of the soul involved. If there isn’t anything to complain about in a city, what must the people then talk about all day? Where is the fun in that?
The Irish Times has obviously not spent many rainy days on Danish soil, so positive and devoid of brok people in Copenhagen are produced. But fodboldmæssigt framework, the criticism might not be completely outside of the disc.
After a single smacking on 1-5, as most of the Danish football fans have in loving memory, but in addition, the three depressing nulløsninger met the two involuntary ærkerivaler by the Park in June.
at the end of a not particularly exuberant affair, however, contain a little more drama than the two former times, the nations encountered each other. The match was 1-1.
The sixth and the fateful match in Dublin, where Denmark can secure EM-participation with at least the tie will be played Monday 20:45.
