Worst moment in Danish history – Spain v Denmark 1993
Even with being 11 gamers versus ten for eighty+ minutes Denmark misplaced the final match of the 1994 Planet Cup qualifying 1- versus Spain, and hence, despite conceding only two objectives in twelve matches, failed to qualify. Ultimate top 3 : Spain….. twelve +23 19 Ireland… twelve +13 18 ———————— Denmark twelve +13 18

@Proglove85 ofc thats fair to say. but if u look closer at the 86 team.Denmark really could’ve won
@llaauuddrruupp Ah, I don’t think Denmark could’ve become Champions in 1986. Danes tend to overexagerate the ability of their national team, especially after 1992. Denmark played against two teams of any quality in 1986 – West Germany and Spain. They won against the Germans and lost, deservedly, to Spain. They weren’t that good…
@SeventiesMania Ah OK. Do you support any English teams? I follow Charlton Athletic (spent 8 years in South East London – now I’m in Australia though)
@tienefuego Not Dutch, just English fan of the Oranje for 32 years lol. Lots of us about. Mind you, got lots of abuse one day in 1988 when I started cheering during Marco’s hat-trick against England as we all watched in the school common room 😉
Yeah, that is a flaw in the museum. They shouldn’t have given it to Ajax, it should be in de Kuip! 🙂
@BobCassidy Yep, we were hammered in the end, but the goal came at the worst time (just before halftime).
We had chances in the beginning of the 2nd half (and even after Spain went up 2-1), but when they scored their third goal, we fell apart.
@el69tufi No it wasn’t. Even Bakero admitted after the game that he did this on purpose and it indeed was wrong
@PolskaPiwo LOL!
@SeventiesMania Damn, didn’t know about that. I just found the clip from the 12-1 match here on Youtube.
Are you Dutch? I went to Amsterdam a few years ago and visited the Dutch football museum. Really really enjoyed it…but why was it all in Dutch? Didn’t they expect non-Dutch speaking tourists there?
@tienefuego Yeah, and Holland should have been at Euro 84 anyway, Spain needed an 11 goal margin against Malta to qualify, conceded early on for 1-1… ooh, guess what, Spain won 12-1, NOT a fix ha ha ha. Imagine a semi final between your team, and young Gullit, van Basten, Rijkaard, Koeman, and maybe even Willy v.d. Kerkhof who was still around then and who knows, Cruyff who’d just won the double with Feyenoord. Holland have been robbed by Spain too 😉
It was a foul on Schmeichel if you watch it carefully the player backs into him, the player knew what he was doing. But saying that Schmeichel should have never ever come out of the 6 yard area to receive the ball, it was a stupid mistake that cost Denmark the match.
I am not a big supporter of the Spanish national team, but I have serious doubts regarding all the comments stating that there was a foul against Smeichel. The goalkeeper is untouchable inside the small penalty area (I am not sure whether this is its correct name in english), if a player of the opposing team just touches him, it’s foul. But outside it, It’s like any other player, and I believe that you are allowed just to stand in front of him to obstaculize his movement. Just my opinion.
1:48 – 1:50 – was fault against Schmeichel. the referee was “blind”
We have allways been better than Spain.
1984: Spain only won because Elkjær was missing that penalty.
1986: Spain only won because of Jesper Olsens great mistake.
1993: The referee was against us. There was a clearly freekick to Peter Schemeichel.
Today: Now they are better.
increible, mereció ir Dinamarca eso está claro, no sabÃa como habia sido esta historia.. gran equipo este de Dinamarca.. siempre me gustó.
@clarinetman1664 french pricks got what was coming to them in south africa
I can’t see any Irish cunts crying like they did in WC 2010 qualifiers… And yet they qualified here because of a mistake of the referee… Denmark is a great football team, and the Laudrups and Schmeichel were the best payers in the world at their position in this time. I’ll always prefer to see Denmark play a football game than those crying Irish babies…
Offcourse because the referee was half spanish.
And also Northern Ireland let Ireland score to 1-1 in there match. And Denmark had Michael Laudrup who didnt score on chances he normaly scores on in Barcelona, he like Spain mor than Denmark
Not spain’s fault, but damn that referee was blind AND stoned.
Damn.. Spain had/ have always the best keepers in the world. Awesome..
I still hate Bakero this day today. Probably the biggest disappointment ever for followers of the Danish national team. This one, along with the Euro 84 loss after penalty shoot out and the 1-5 loss in Mexico 86. And it’s always been against Spain.
Spain, I love your food and you’ve got an amazing country with lovely people…but I hate your football team with passion.
@CeeteeRfc ya i know how he save that bicycle kick is beyond me….
@llaauuddrruupp Finest player ever? You mean Brian Laudrup? You think he was better than Michael?
@PolskaPiwo
You must be joking.
I remember him as a violent player who should have been sent off after Elkjærs winning goal against Belgium in Euro 1984. Check it out here on you tube.
@llaauuddrruupp
What a precise analysis.
I remember my friends and I revenging Bakeros freekick by causing some minor damage to the spanish factory Repsol in our hometown that same night.
That’s how big the feeling of disappointment and beeing cheated was back then (bare in mind that we were teenagers not hooligans).
It truly was the worst moment in recent danish football history.
Schmeichel – a chicken.Never compare him to the legend Michel Preud homme
