- 7' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 12' Denmark seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 17' It looks like no one’s ball. Denmark is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 22' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 27' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Denmark needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 32' The travelling Belgium supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 37' Denmark is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
