Denmark out to make it a French hat-trick; No Welsh Bale out; It’s coming home … to Africa

Mexico played out a scoreless draw with Poland in their opening game.

Today, he could knock his home country out of the competition and end Messi’s chances of lifting the World Cup. Given the panache in how they overcame Australia in their first game, most pundits are expecting France to make it two wins from two when they play Denmark on Saturday. Denmark played out a scoreless draw in their Group D opener against Tunisia. However, the marauding Danes have had the better of the French in recent outings. In fact Denmark beat France twice this year in the Nations League – 2-1 in Paris in June and 2-0 in Copenhagen in September.

“It is not a question of revenge because we know the Danish players and they know us. They can change system from one match to the other and that can give us different types of difficulties.”Gareth Bale managed only 36 touches of the ball as Wales lost to Iran. According to Opta Analyst, Bale had the fewest amount of touches of any outfield player on the pitch.
