Finland plays Russia with Euro 2020 knockout stage in reach

Lost, perhaps, in the drama surrounding Christian Eriksen's collapse during Denmark's game against Finland at the European Championship was the result after play resumed. The Finns, playing in their first ever game at a major soccer tournament, won 1-0 in Copenhagen. It will likely go down as one of the most overlooked scorelines in the history of the tournament, given what had happened to Eriksen. Indeed, Finland captain Tim Sparv said there were barely any celebrations in the dressing room. It was very quiet, Sparv said, and understandably so. Maybe Finland can now start to get excited. A place in the knockout stage at Euro 2020 is within reach and will be guaranteed with a win over Russia on Wednesday. That hasn't happened in more than a century since a 2-1 victory at the Olympic soccer tournament in 1912, when Finland was under the control of Russia but the Finns might not have a better chance to end that long wait. Russia was beaten by Belgium 3-0 in its opening game in G

France and Germany in rare early meeting at Euro 2020

France and Germany usually play each other in the latter stages of major soccer tournaments. Not this time. The teams will meet in the group stage of a European Championship or World Cup for the first time on Tuesday when they open their Euro 2020 campaigns in Munich. Their last match at a major tournament came in the Euro 2016 semifinals. Antoine Griezmann scored twice for France in the 2-0 victory over then-World Cup champion Germany in Marseille. Germany has never really recovered, and though the French lost to Portugal in the final five years ago, they went on to win the World Cup two years later. Remarkably, no player in Germany's current squad has ever scored in a European Championship match. Thomas Mller, who has played 11 tournament games, missed a penalty in the 2016 quarterfinal shootout win over Italy. German hopes this time are pinned on a good start in Munich to set the team up for success in Joachim Lw's last tournament as coach after 15 years in charge. Germany wi

UEFA defends itself from claims it pressured Denmark to play

UEFA defended itself Monday from claims that Denmark players were put under pressure to resume their European Championship game against Finland after Christian Eriksen collapsed on the field. Eriksen fell face-forward onto the field in the 43rd minute of the game against Finland and needed critical care. The Euro 2020 match resumed about 90 minutes later and the Finns won 1-0. "UEFA is sure it treated the matter with utmost respect for the sensitive situation and for the players," the governing body said. "It was decided to restart the match only after the two teams requested to finish the game on the same evening. Former Denmark great Peter Schmeichel, the father of current national team goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel, questioned that Monday on a British TV show. Schmeichel said the players felt they had little choice when given the options to resume, come back on Sunday at noon, or forfeit the game as a 3-0 loss. UEFA said "the players' need for 48 hours' rest between matches ...
