Ok i think these are the only games i havent posted on, first to kick off on friday was bulgaria v denmark now a few posts back i said that all teams had got to euro 2004 on merrit and deserved to be there, hmmmmm after first hearing bulgaria play via the radio then getting home 2 see the second half of this match i would like to revise that statement, the bulgarians are worse than poor they are hopeless they would make the scotland team look good and trust me that takes some doing, from what i gathered from the interupted comentery i heard during the first half on the whole they had the better of the chances, the thing that let them down and the same can be said fer how they played in there first match aganced sweden is there ability to finish, for the first 35/40 mins the play and ball was pinging around the midfield area fer most of the time and it wasnt till the end off the first half that bulgaria had 2 guilt edged chanced to take the lead the first was a mistake from the danish keeper he dropped the ball from a bulgarian cross the ball droped at the feet of a second bulgarian forward who that blasted it wide this was then quickly followed by another bulgarian attack that had the danish defenders back peddling but again the bulgarians failed to take advantage and they missed taking an undeserved lead, all credit to the dan's they managed to get back in numbers on the rare occations the bulgarians threatend an attack and u could tell this was frustrating the bulgarians on the pitch, as it seemed the first half would end in a 0-0 stale mate the dan's launched one final attack and in the 44 min the dead lock was broken as the first danish forward came in to collcet a gr8 cross from the wing he had to pass the ball to Jon Dahl Tomasson as the keeper was closing him down now with the keeper stranded it was an easy tap in fer tommasson and the dan's went in2 the break 1-0, the second half wasnt much better than the first half and it seems the bulgarian team talk at half time just involved them being told to knock lumps out the danish players, this task they did manage pretty well and as the half progressed the bulgarian tackles were getting l8tr and l8tr but some how getting towards 10 mins left they still had 11 players on the pitch and the score was still only 1-0 to denmark, now this is when it all went goofy and the ref and his officales were no use, a bulgarian forward had made a gr8 break he was clean through with only the keeper to beat then a danish defender came from noware and took the bulgarian forward out missing the ball completly the ref just waved play on and his linesmen didnt do anything even though they were up with play, it should have been at least a freekick and a booking but more than that the danish defender should have been red carded, well as u would expect the the whole bulgarian team were a little upset and the red mist desended in front of them, it was no surprise a few mins l8tr after a bulgarian player clattered in2 a danish midfielder and was yellow carded that one of his fellow players warm and fuzzy like pointed out to the ref his error earlier and it seems the ref took offence to this and sent him off the field of play, this pretty much knocked what fight the bularians had out of em and they finally wilted under the heat of the day and some pretty odd refing decisions, the danish second goal game in the 90 min and was scored by Jesper Gronkjaer who had missed the dan's first match due to the funeral of his mom and he had only flown out and joind up with the squad couple of days before hand, so we say good bye to bulgaria they still have one match left when they play italy when they will only be playing fer pride this the italians should beware as they need to win that match and as bulgaria has nothing to loose we've seen it before and will see it time after time that taking teams fer granted and and will lead to a very big fall indeed.
