....has had people in my loca publ turning the air blue. Such a good move, ruined by players refusing to take a shot on goal.

And then Denmark go down the other end and score!

They were the better side, but judging by the run-up to that penalty the occasion got the better of them.

I did feel a little sorry for them, but the pat-on-the head pity from the BBC commentators would annoy me if I were Peruvian.
