    Denmark boss Hjulmand blames One Love armband controversy and World Cup human rights issues for group stage exit

    DENMARK coach Kasper Hjulmand has blamed the One Love armband controversy and the human rights issues affecting his side for their tame World Cup exit.The Danes were among the European sides forced to back down from wearing the armband as Fifa threatened yellow cards and bans for skipper Simon Kjaer.

    Shirt manufacturers Hummel introduced a special Qatar 2022 kit with a faded logo, while sponsors asked for their branding to be taken off training kits and advertising hoardings.
    And while Hjulmand insisted it was “not an excuse” for his side’s disappointing campaign, he suggested it had adversely impacted the entire squad.
    Hjulmand said: “In relation to whether it has affected us, it would be strange to believe otherwise, at least to some extent. 
    “Whether it has meant anything on the pitch, I can’t say. 
    READ MORE ON THE WORLD CUP
    “But there has been a feeling that it has been unreasonable.”
    Defending his players, who have come under intense flak after going home with just one point from their dull opening draw with Tunisia, he added: “A picture has been drawn that whatever the hell they did, it was wrong. 
    “There was a demand from half of you in the media that the players should be activists. 
    “So there has been a sense of ‘what are we going to do?’

    “It is difficult to say what this has meant for the performances. It’s not an excuse, but it’s wrong to say it hasn’t had an impact.”
    Denmark reached the last four of Euro 2020 tapping into a huge sense of national pride and unity, made even stronger after Christian Eriksen’s collapse in the opening game against Finland.
    Eriksen’s return to the major stage was a huge part of the build-up but the Manchester United schemer was as underwhelming as the rest of his team-mates.
    Hjulmand conceded: “There is no doubt that the team has been affected. 
    “There are many ingredients in that pot. 
    “But we have seen a lack of power, coherence and energy.
    “It is worth having a good look at. But many things were missing.
    “It’s not an excuse, but sometimes it can be the little things and the margins that make the difference.

    “During the Euros, the players felt 100 per cent supported, and that, I think, helps, if you feel that you have people behind you. 
    “And during the Euros we were helped by a lot of things.” More

    The fan was crying with angerCredit: Twitter
    It was the first time since 1978 that Mexico were eliminated from the World Cup in the group stage.
    And one fan didn’t take the early exit well as he broke his TV with his fists.
    Donning a Mexico shirt, the distraught man punched his TV until it broke.
    Not satisfied with the job he had done, despite cracks showing as well as the screen going green, the fan grabbed a knife.

    The knife struck the TV ten times before before the tears started flowing.
    Reacting to the viral video, a Twitter user seized the opportunity to mock boxer Canelo Alvarez, who threatened Argentina and football legend Lionel Messi.
    Messi’s foot accidentally brushed a Mexico shirt on the dressing room floor after the 2-0 group win, leading to Canelo calling the footie ace out.
    Canelo has since apologised for his outburst.

    ‘Don’t expect any gifts’ – Borussia Dortmund chief fires Jude Bellingham transfer warning to Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool

    BORUSSIA DORTMUND managing director, Carsten Cramer, has issued a warning that it won’t be easy for Liverpool to sign star-man Bellingham. Cramer and Dortmund have a strong relationship with Liverpool following Jurgen Klopp’s seven years at the helm of the German side, but the Dortmund director has said this won’t soften their stance on the transfer.
    Bellingham has already amassed an impressive 20 caps for England at just 19-years-oldCredit: Getty
    Bellingham has been linked with a move away from the Signal Iduna Park for a while with many of Europe’s elite queuing up to sign the midfielder.
    Liverpool look favourites at the moment, but will face stiff competition from the likes of Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea and Real Madrid in the race to secure the Bundesliga sensation’s signature.
    Cramer has made it clear that Liverpool will gain no favours or unfair advantage over their rivals in their pursuit of Bellingham when speaking to Vietnam News.
    He said: “We are still in a good relationship with Jurgen and many others at Liverpool, so for me, it’s my preferred club in the EPL as well. But don’t expect that we will make gifts to Liverpool.”
    Read more in Football
    The news will come as a blow to Liverpool’s hopes of signing Bellingham with the 19-year-old’s stock rising rapidly due to his stellar performances at the World Cup.
    The former Birmingham City man only made his move to Germany in 2020, but has impressed with 19 goals and 21 assists for Dortmund.
    The clubs interested in Bellingham will likely have to fork-out a huge sum with his current club said to be demanding at least £100million for the Three Lions star.
    He has been a crucial part of Gareth Southgate’s side at the World Cup starting all three of England’s games so far in Qatar and netting the opener in their 6-2 thrashing of Iran.

    They face off against Senegal as they hope to push on and advance into the quarter-finals of the competition. More

    Harry Maguire bizarrely mocked by Ghanaian MP as he compares Vice President to Man Utd defender for scoring ‘own goals’

    A GHANAIAN MP bizarrely used Harry Maguire to attack his political opponents during a debate on the economy. Isaac Adongo left both his political allies and football fans baffled and amused with his analogy which has now gone viral.

    Despite still being the target for mockery, Maguire is enjoying a good World Cup for EnglandCredit: Reuters

    The 50-year-old, elected to parliament for the first time last year, was hitting out at the Vice President in a debate over the 2023 budget.
    At which point the MP turned to football to press home his point as he referenced Maguire, currently staring for England at the World Cup.
    Mr Adongo said: “If you’re a fan of football … there was a player in England called [Harry] Maguire who was playing for Manchester United. He’s a defender.
    “[At Leicester] he was tackling everybody and throwing his body everywhere. He was seen as the best defender in the world.
    READ MORE ON MAN UTD
    “Manchester United went and bought him. He became the biggest threat at the centre of Manchester United’s defence, tackling [his own] players and giving assists to opponents.

    “Mr Speaker, when even opponents fail to score, Maguire will score for them.
    “Mr Speaker, you remember in this country we also have an Economic Maguire.”
    He then added that the VP, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, scored “own goals” like the defender.

    While the politicians around him broke down in laughter, Twitter was slightly more bemused by the odd speech and United fans rushed to their player’s defence.
    One person said: “What makes it funnier is that Maguire has only ever scored one own goal in his career.”
    Another added: “Surely this is a voiceover. Harsh on Maguire though.”
    While one very sympathetic fan added: “At this point, he transcends Phil Jones. A decade of following football, he is the most ridiculed player I have ever seen. Very unfair to him.”
    Other football followers, wary of the ongoing tournament in Qatar, were dreaming of a new World Cup rivalry.
    One wrote: “Nahhhh I need England vs Ghana at the World Cup.”
    Another added: “England vs Ghana gonna hit hard.”

    If the pair were to meet in the tournament, Maguire may well prove to be a barrier to success for the African nation.
    The centre-back has been praised for his World Cup performances after coming under heavy criticism for his club outings.
    When he’s not been defending at this tournament, Maguire has even found time to go off on dizzying, Lionel Messi-style runs.
