Yep i did. watching a replay as well as i type. He played very well and was one of the best for the Danes who won 3-1 in an entertaining match blighted by some very poor referring (Rob Styles ). All 4 goals were very good and many chances with both teams attacking regularly.

 

It should be said the Danes had their best side bar one and we had 8 first teamers out. Having said that it was good to give some young players a chance against a very good side. Unfortunately for us we had a fairly young inexperienced defence (both CB's and keeper) and it showed although 2 of the Danes goals came from mistakes in midfield. Having said that both of those goals were class finishes that the keeper had no chance. Good Game.

 

PS Harry Kewell commentated on Fox sports (better than i expected) and said he was probably a month away from action. Can't wait.

 

PPS if you haven't guessed i am an Aussie.

I agree totally.

 

I am no expert but he made no defensive errors that i saw and the longer the game went on the more he seemed to take control of the defense. He is a very impressive young player because he has so much confidence.

 

Its not all good news though. He again went forward, as he does, and tried a couple of long through balls which were easily intercepted as he has lately for us. They havent worked. Dont want to be too critical of that because he is young and we want him to develop that. I am sure Rafa will not only encourage it but develop it.

 

As you say, future star. He hit a left foot strike from 30m low and hard (just like Spurs) but fortunitely for us (Oz) he hit it too clean and it stayed straight and was saved. Exocet missile it was, great left foot he's got. Harry (commentating) said "seen that before".

 

Said earlier but i thought he took control of their defense second half and I personally gave him MOM for the game (didnt say that earlier because i am biased). Thomasson and Rommedahl deserve mention.
