Denmark - Sweden. Referee attacked. Euro2008 Qualify.

[Etherem86]

The guy that stormed the field got a fine of > €250.000 for that :-p I guess he'll think twice next time :D

[XChecksterX]

@Etherem86, and now the Danish players want to collect money for the guy to pay the fine. "Brilliant" idea........

[WillardW0nka]

here in sweden they put his name in the news paper

Danish Player #3 Deserves Some Credit For His Stand.

[BandWagon1987]

That swipe cost the fan €120,000!!

Look it up on wiki, he got sued for loss of ticket sales. Expensive outburst.

[copavida]

and the match got suspended, dumbass coach

[alexdagang]

fandellllllll yooyoo

[VikingInvaders]

First a Swedish player got punshed in his stomach then the German referee got slapped in the face.

Maybe we should treat our neighbours in a better way :-)

[aktm1407]

@VikingInvaders some danes are just sooooooooooooooooo stupid.. im a dane and I really dont know why poulsen hit that swedish guy and why the hell that danish fan tried to slap that referee.. and that fan had to pay 157.386,6 $ in replacement

[simonangelo]

are*

[simonangelo]

Denmark will gain the victory, now that Bendtner and Agger is back. Sweden & Denmark will defeat Portugal.

And btw. That fucking cunt who hit the ref lives in Sweden!! It's a swedish undercover dressing up in the danish kit and attacks the ref, so DK looses... Wtf!?

[blabla7744]

good denmark

[yankeevictor]

Kind of players like that should be banned forever

[terminus86]

Do you have always this reaction when you don't succeed to "fix" the match like the 2-2 in Euro2004? It's not so kind, men ;)

[haizahaiza]

Fandel hat im EM-Spiel 2008 Türkei gegen Portugal einem Türken eine gelbe Karte gegeben, nur weil der ihn auf ein Handspiel seines Gegners hingewiesen hat. Die Zeitlupe bestätigte das Handspiel. Fandel ist ein... ihr könnts euch denken.

[ollyweed]

uh nein eine aktion mit ner gelben karte

wie schlimm!

[halloichbinssuper]

is schon richtig nach regelwerk ist alles was gegen die Leistung des Schiedsrichters geht eine Gelbe Karte und wenn er dabei beleidigend wird sogar eine Rote, d.h. wenn er sagt du bist ein blinder oder so ist das rot...

[halloichbinssuper]

glaubste ja wohl selber nicht dass fandel sich schon darauf gefreut hat dass jemanden gelb zu zeigen das macht kein Schiedsrichter und ich weiß aus eigener Erfahrung dass es sehr schwer is im Spiel ein Handspiel zu sehen und zu bewerten ob es absichtlich war oder nich usw. unf ob es Wert ist es zurückzupfeifen...

Und wenn dann noch ein Spieler ankommt und dich dann noch "runter" macht dann versteh ich das das er Gelb gezeigt hat und meiner Meinung nach is diese dann auch vertretbar.

[MrPrivyet]

Ich denke, Haiza hat recht, nach so einer groben Fehlentscheidung haette Fandel zumindest seinen Fehler einsehen und sich entschuldigen koennen, wenn es ihm denn leid getan haette, zumal es Gelb-Rot war, also keine Kleinigkeit. Im uebrigen war das Handspiel wirklich deutlich sichtbar und die Empoerung verstaendlich, erst recht, nach der Bestrafung desjenigen, der ihn doch nur auf das Handspiel aufmerksam machte. Fuer mich ist Fandel sowohl menschlich als auch fachlich ein Versager.

[halloichbinssuper]

Hast du ahnung von Fussball eine Gelb Rote Karte wird gegeben wenn ein Spieler in einem Spiel die zweite Gelbe Karte bekommen hat.

Und ihr also Haiza und du ihr habt keine Ahnung was es bedeutet Schiedsrichter zu sein, da musst du deine Entscheidungen auch vertreten auch wenn du eine vermeintliche Fehlentscheidung gemacht hast. Und wenn ein Spieler sich über eine Entscheidung aufregt auch wenn es Sachlich war untergräbt er deine Autorität --> Gelb oder Rot bei Beleidigung

[Benni1089]

Wer Fandel aus der BL kennt der kann die Reaktion des Fans verstehen xD hehe

[ollyweed]

wo er recht hat hatta recht

[JW6639]

did they abandon the match?

[onkelschnix]

der fandel hats verdientxDxDxD

[Sansa456]

He was born in Denmark but lives in Göteborg in Sweden.

[HenrikssonlovesAIK]

irony?

[bqze]

the funny thing, is the guy who attacked, is from sweden.. but in red, lol. sure he get 1000mia for that shit

[Christyavo]

just because italy won in 2c 06 and now they'er all shouting out loud with pride...

what about germany??

maybe u should take a look at germany's footaball history... almost similiar to italy...

and germany had many great legends...

u won once last year doesn't mean you're the best among the all

[rolnor]

I JUST LOVE THAT GUY!

[dwyanewadeflash3]

ha ha soccer is for immigrants

[PoulinHard1]

Fuck you !

[roaristhesound]

I think your conception of nationalism is more than a little bit obtuse...

[JGMUFC07]

Italian football is full of racist & corrupt scumbags. The Italian supporters are hooligans and cop killers, they are the scurge of world football.

[88Almir]

Well at least they are free supporters and have a living supporterculture. The copincident has been misinterpreted i dont even think it was a fan/hooligan who killed him.

But sure they have had some sport-wise problems.

[TheThh]

italy is so lame. with their pride they just can't admit that their products sucks and italy isn't a big country anymore. and of course they are good actors but only when playing football(their movies sucks).

[BenutzerNummer1]

@TheThh why "not anymore"? italy has never been a big country....

[supernr17]

sorry people but italy its too good for this world!!

France and arabs are all son of bitches!!!! ZIdane is a bitch!!!

MATERAZZIIIIII per sempre!!!!!!!

[durimxx]

i think Italy are a good team but they were defiantly the luckiest team in the world cup especially against Australia...still thou their under 21's lookin so sick(good) lol

[bellaitaliano4]

i think people are just jealous if italy's mad football skills... especially those whose country lost to in the world cup

[yourmarcotube]

hey people...before to talk about italian team consider that we are world champion....and you...who are you?!?

[JGMUFC07]

I fuckin hate those wop bastard Italians.

[Princesa747]

that was way harsh dude

[yourmarcotube]

italian is world champion...and you are nobody!! ...i'm sorry but that are the facts!! ;)

[oxMelxo]

Only THREE TIMES. Brazil is STILL better than you!

[yourmarcotube]

ehm....i guess you don't know a lots about football....italy won 4 times...and believe me, i really don't care if brasil is "pentacampeon" but...where are you from? what about your country's football team?!? everybody can talk about the others....what about you??!! Merry Christmas! ;)

[robin644]

italy were shit in the group stages but grew as a team as the tournament went on.

[sneezinghamster]

rofl nice vid

and for the record, italy sucks. end of story

[quetzalift]

Who the hell are you to write "end of the story".

Some moderator of this thread, maybe?

Or maybe just a poor sore loser, that simply can't accept that his national team NEVER wins a shit?

My national team is FOUR F***n times World Champions. And yours?

I repeat my question: AND YOURS?

[yourmarcotube]

hey man...you think that italy sucks but come on...you are swedish...what you understand about football...what about swedish team?!?

[AssHeaven]

den fede nar skal bare rundt!!..fedt han er endt her loool

[quetzalift]

Anyway, I am probably losing my time, because when people have prejudices, no logic can change their views.

So, all I can say is that whatever you may think, say, or write, fact is that Italy is the World Champions, and you are not. Enough.

[PyroTechnics14]

Problem is that Italian football is always brought down by match fixing scandals at club level AND international level. No matter if they win they are always going to raise questions if they win with elements of luck if something was going on behind the scenes.

[quetzalift]

Oh, really? And would you please write down the presumably long list of "international fixings"?

At club level you are certainly right (the usual 2 or 3 teams, and no-one is happy about that, believe me).

But at international level I have never even read nor heard of any accusation of "match-fixing" related to an Italy game.

You appear to have very interesting informations (or only opinions??).

Please, share those informations (meaning: facts, not your already known personal opinions).

[jpnunn1]

Italy were lucky to have beaten Australia in the 2nd round of the world cup - Italy are a terrible team

[quetzalift]

Oh, yes. Luck.

When Italy wins, it's luck. When Italy loses, it's fair. Excellent logics!

Regardin which football is best, well, everybody has a different opinion. But I did not only write my opinion. I wrote STATISTICS. And statistics are FACTS.

There must be a good reason if Italian national team, clubs and individual players have won so many trophies, in football history (and particularly this season).

Or you really believe it was ALWAYS just luck?

Come on!

[yourmarcotube]

probably you don't understand very well the difference between talent and luck...anyway i watch you are australian...i don't pretend too much... ;)

[88salerno88]

@jpnunn1 Australia is shit!!

[mikko0o]

Mwhahahahaaaaaaaaaaaa....

[H3rBz92]

This isn't exciting nothing really happened. There are better attacks and fights in other sports, This isn't even a fight or attack.

[gatsu2005]

Denmark is COOL the rest of the world BURN IN HELLL MOTHERFUCKERS!!

[Drugs999]

Italian football is just about the most boring football in Europe.. they all play that defensive shit. I think you all know what i'm talkin about.. I think the prettiest football in Europe is the Spanish..

[miv05ath]

Hehe! Athene is happy hosted the champions of Milan once again! We are ur lucky city! Come again and beat Britons!

[quetzalift]

Like it or not, Italian football is the best football around:

World Cup 2006: Italy (for the 4th time!)

Ch.League 06-07: Milan (Italy)

Golden Ball 06 : Cannavaro (Italy)

English fans still think brit football is better, but I am not sure about that: brit football is a very physical sport, all about running and "battling". Italian football, like "latin" football in general, is more about "dancing" with the ball. And it's also efficient, as the results show.

So... who are the sore losers?

[RaiseCain973]

Do we have to remember you that you won the WC by penalties ? I don't think that Italian soccer is the best.. Just look how they won all these trophies..

[quetzalift]

We won this WC by penalties. So what? Does that mean that we did not win the cup, maybe?

And why do you write "look how they won all these trophies"? The other trophies we won were not by penalties. What exactly you mean by "how" Italy won the trophies is a real mistery.

[quetzalift]

And, by the way... I understand you don't like Italians... that's fine: it's your right to have prejudices. But reality is reality, and numbers are numbers: World Cups won by Italy : 4 Euro Cup won by Italy : 1 Champions' Leagues won by Italian teams : 11 UEFA Cups won by Italian teams : 9 And, in 2006-2007: World Cup : ITALY Champion's League: Milan (ITALY) Golden Ball: Cannavaro (ITALY) FIFA Best Player : Cannavaro (ITALY) Golden Boot : Totti (ITALY) Is that enough or not?

[leeem0]

italian football is not the best like u sed b4 "dancing" its not supposed to be dancing its supposed 2 b football and why do ur players dive around the floor like thyeve been shot when they get a small kick on the leg ???? like materazzi he got headbutted not hit by a fucking bus

[quetzalift]

leeem0... there are different styles of football. Probably you prefer the british style (physical strenght and run, run, run). Personally, I prefer the "latin" style. It's my personal opinion, and I respect your opinion.

But I feel there is some prejudice in what people here write: if Zidane had been hit by Materazzi, you would condemn Materazzi. Zidane hit Materazzi, and now the guilty one is... Materazzi! Quite astounding.

[irishie]

totally agree, the Turks are savages, i remember when Ireland played there, they came onto the pitch afterwards attacking our players.

[quetzalift]

Anyway, let's talk about Poulsen: he received only a 3 matches suspension. And the Danish Football Association is even complaining that it's a too hard punishment.

That's funny, because when Totti spat to Poulsen, the same Danish F.A. made an official complaint to Uefa pushing for a 4 matches suspension.

That means that the Danish F.A. believes that a punch in the stomach is a smaller offence than a spit.

[vanihm]

When Rosenberg admits he hit Poulsen first it puts the punch in the stomach in perspective - and he strangely got right up without any trouble when he got startle by the fan entering the field.

[vanihm]

I guess some Italians will always declare the DEN-SWE match a fix. The Herald Tribune didn't actually state that the match was fixed - just that 2-2 would send both teams on. The Swedish FANS hels up a banner with 2-2 on its (and some Danish magazines hoped that would happen too), but that doesn't mean the TEAMS fixed the match. Check out the Guardian and other mags for their take on it. They called the match-fixing accusations LUDICROUS!

[vanihm]

The Swedes hoped for 2-2 but the Danes wanted to win to avoid Czech Rep who were 100 times better than the Netherlands.

[vanihm]

Just to make you certain, check out the second swedish goal - it was a TOTAL FREAK - no one could have planned it. And the firs Swedish goal was due to a misjudged penalty kick - was the referee in on it too?

[Johke]

In all fairness, Rosenberg, the Swedish player, actually did try to throw an elbow-punch at Poulsen's face just prior to the infamous incident.

The linesman should've called that one too. All-in-all I believe Fandel did ok.

[quetzalift]

Well, reading the Danish newspapers, it looks like the real problem was not Poulsen's punch, but Rosenberg provocation. That's funny: a couple of years ago, when Poulsen provoked Italy's F. Totti (hitting him several times and insulting his family in Italian), and Totti overreacted spitting at him, the same Danish press wrote that provoking is part of the game, and Totti's reaction was the only disgusting thing happened in that match. Wow, what a sudden change of ethics!

[AlexanderRaoul]

You make a good point there!

[quetzalift]

After Totti's spit, the Danish and the Swedes fixed their match openly saying that they wanted to stop Italy from accessing to the next round. That match was disgusting, with the two teams laughing and joking on the pitch, not even trying to dissimulate the will to end it without a winner. A Danish newspaper, the day after, titled "Italia a Casa" ("Italy go home"). I think that was one of the basest moment in the history of football.

[vanihm]

That is a myth you Italian moron! If it was fixed (which just about any respectable sports mag outside of Italy denies) than how did the swedish goalie make all those terrific saves? Oh, they "planned" to have him make 2 flying saves in the match. Tell me how to do that will you. Try seeing the match - they were dead serious - no one wanted to face Czech rep in the quarter finals (Denmark did and got the Sh** kicked out of them)

[vanihm]

Oh, and this is a different match by the way - you were thinking of EURO 2004. And the biased italian referees more or less single handedly prevented Denmakr from qualifying for the world cup in 2006, dishing out red cards and penalties against them througout the two most important games - check out Denmark-Turkey (in copenhagen) and Denmark Greece (in Athens).

[quetzalift]

First of all, try to be polite: calling me an "Italian moron" is not nice. Anyway, here is what the british HERALD TRIBUNE wrote: "Denmark and Sweden knew that even if Italy beat Bulgaria in Guimaraes, Sweden would advance with a draw and so, too, would Denmark, if the score was at least 2-2. During the national anthems, a group of Swedish fans held up a soggy banner that told the Italian team: 'We'll call you when the score is 2-2'". Are you satisfied, now?

[quetzalift]

And by the way it is NOT a different match: "Totti spit" was in EURO 2004, and the FIXED 2-2 match was in the same EURO 2004. That's what we are talking about, right now. And I can send you all the links you want to respectable non-Italian sports mags that call that 2-2 a FIXED match.

[TheFBH]

Ok, let's see them. Gimme one really respected (non-italian) football magazine that calls that match a fix.

[TheFBH]

You are clearly a fucking idiot. Yeah, Sweden-Denmark was fixed, UFO's landed in Roswell, JFK was killed by a conspiracy, the moon landing was a hoax, Bush planned the 9/11 attacks, etc. Italians sure are sore losers...

[jeppeling]

quetzalift, you're really making a fool out of yourself by writing those comments about the swe-den game in euro 2004. That banner the swedes held up during the national anthem doesn't prove anything. Of course everybody knew the circumstances, however, that doesn't mean they wanted a 2-2 draw. Have you even watched the game? And most of the media world wide agreed with this after the game.

[quetzalift]

Maybe there was no fix.

But one thing is sure: swedes and danes were really happy to kick out Italy. The usual prejudices that some northern cultures have towards Mediterranean cultures and peoples.

I've been in over 50 countries, and only in Denmark I was treated as scum just for being Italian (and not even proud of it). Very oftern, when I approached somebody, even only for asking directions, the answer was "go home, nigger" or something like that.

[noniino]

wickedfunny: Well I used to play in the top junior team of a town of 100.000 people. That's why I didn't become a fanatic, I can actually play the game myself. I prefer combat sports today, but I still play fb often. By the way, your homophobia is a clear sign of your own gayness. Be true to yourself my Canuck friend! Don't even bother to reply.

[Falloutboyfever]

Although I'm happy we won, but it would be much better if we really won, not by forfit...

[Falloutboyfever]

FUCKIN IDIOT! You just distroyed Denmarks chanses of winning, Hope your happy!!! But this isn't just his fault, It's even the guards, They just stood there, they didn't do their jobs.

[Falloutboyfever]

fing Dickhead!

[noniino]

Only a retard takes football as seriously as that guy. It's just a game where men run after a leather ball. It's a fun sport to watch, but if you are a fanatic, grow the fuck up. There are more important things in life. Just my $0.02 :)

[wickedfunny]

ur a fag probably a gay too i wouldnt expect a homo to understand a real mans love for sports i admit thta what that fann did was a bit rash but there is absolutly nothing wrong with being a fanatic u probably got picked on at school for sucking at soccer and thats why u turned to homosexuality ur pathetic. Just my $0.02

[Flerndw2222]

you are too

[pussybrush]

Hope your team will be disqualified

[SlitWristTheory]

Sick? Because I dislike a ref who makes a mockery of every game he calls? Nice logic there.

I'm talking in general terms here and generally speaking he's an awful referee. You might not think so, but that is then your opinion. And this is mine.

[tafocuk]

we want equality for every situation

[tafocuk]

remember the turkey Switzerland football match ı wonder how uefa punish denmark ....

[AlexanderRaoul]

First of all its the Danish players fault. He's the jerk here. The second jerk is the hooligan. Idiots!

[Johke]

Don't forget Rosenberg. He only barely misses his elbow-punch at Poulsen's face.

[Mert0Nobre]

we will se how many games denmark will be abandoned...when the incidents in turkey happened (turkey-switzerland) there was no turkish fan on the pitch and we got 6 matches ban...we will see the uefa and fifa if they are treating everyone equally...

[akcija]

fucking fan, cant fight!

[SlitWristTheory]

Yeah, you're right. The main problem here is the security staff who was watching FOOTBALL instead of watching the CROWD. Clearly they didn't do their job.

[ShaolinGuy2]

im from sweden and the war between Denmark and Sweden just began.

[SlitWristTheory]

Oh yes, it's DANMARK's best way. Because obviously we ALL attacked him, didn't we? So we should ALL be punished for the stupidity one one drunk guy. Yes, ban Denmark from all European football for the next 30 years, because MY GOD a drunken idiot almost BRUSHED the ref!

[emsmaps]

Its a question of security. No one blames Denmark. But the Orginaizers have to be blamed. Imagine the idiot carried a knife or something. PLUS: No one official guard or something ran on the pitch. It was the players. And yes - DK is to blame for that. I am Danish and I hope they take severe actions for that! Fandel did a good job it was a great game and what most ppl forget it was POULSEN's fault!!!

[SlitWristTheory]

Ah yes, but what people also conviniently seem to forget is that Rosenberg took a couple of swings at Poulsen as well which is what made him snap. It's clear to see after the video footage. Even Rosenberg admitted to it. But of course the linesman only focused on one thing. A shame really.

And for the sake of football I hope Fandel never calls a match again. He is completely incompetent not to mention arrogant.

[SlitWristTheory]

I agree to some extent. Fandel is an incompetent and arrogant referee. Clearly demonstrated by this game as well as the Champions League final.

[andrzzon]

i'm pretty sure he talks about the man who punched the judge

[aqrehanay]

that punk punches like a sissy girl.he should've punch ref in d stomach!

[aqrehanay]

that punk punches like a sissy girl.he should've punch ref in d stomach!

[WhatTheFoxxx]

Thanks for ruining the game, you fucking sucker!

[bousono1]

man, that guy was drunk

[kri00001]

why does he that, think about all of them who falls in the stairs everyday, they cant throw away the stairs

[kri00001]

thats doesnt hurt

[najvecikurac]

But Poulsen's punch did hurt. That's war between Sweden and Denmark dudes.
