Match 26: Cameroon v. Denmark :: GAME THREAD [R]

71' 1-2 Denmark drop a mini-lob from 30m center into the box -- #19 Dennis Rommedahl destroys the trap again. Think they're deliberately looking for him on those? He settles at 13m center, lays off 2 steps behind him to #9 Jon Dahl Tomasson at 13m slightly left, who tries a soft high shot to the upper mid-right -- #16 Souleymanou Hamidou sprawls forward-and-up, and double-palms it away. Gasp!

 

76' 1-2 This game is so nuts, it almost puts egg on ESPN's excellent coverage -- they show the replay of #19 Stephane M'Bia's yellow card, and return from it just in time to see a Denmark free header from the spot, and #16 Hamidou blocks it clear to the left.

 

Sorensen save of the game potentially.

 

Reminds me of Oliver Kahn's save on Donovan in '02

 

If Cameroon had put only 20% of its shots on frame, they'd be leading right now.

 

Not only were they slow on updating the score, but the screen temporarily had a graphic underneath the 1-1 scoreline that said DEN: Offside. It was very strange.

 

And how was that not a penalty for the foul on Emana?

 

84' 1-2 #9 Eto'o tries the cheesy sneak-up-behind-the-goalkeeper trick, as Sorensen basketball-dribbles the ball once. Man, they're scraping the bottom of the sink trap.

 

87' 1-2 #23 Vincent Aboubakar plays the ball-front-cut-behind a turned #3 Simon Kjaer at 25m left. Kjaer blocks him down -- yellow card, his 2nd total, he's out vs. Japan.

 

Denmark knows how to kill a game, eh?

 

90+1 (of 3)' 1-2: Denmark ping triangles, backpass to Sorensen. Back up to midfield right -- and they lose it!

90+1:20' 1-2: #8 Geremi hoofs a long ball, Sorensen catches it at 12m center.

 

What a game to end this World Cup Day!!! it's time for Saturday Night!

French Coaches, naw dawg

 

Buzzzzzzzz.... Buzzzzzzzz.... Buzzzzzz.... Buzz. Buzz... Buzzzzzzzz

 

WOW

What a match.

 

90+2:13' 1-2 Denmark at 40m left, tries a cut upfield past 3 defenders, poked away.

90+2:40' 1-2 Cameroon free kick at 30m left ... cleared up Denmark's left sideline.

Full time!

 

It's done for Cameroon,too bad.

So many chances from both sides.
