    The dentist and his chosen men have done it again! Another result against better opposition! What a team!

    Messi failed to really impact on the game

    Over to you, Denmark!
    Åge Hareide looks really calm before Denmark's first match of the tournament. Hopefully that's because the team's well prepared and confident.

    Peru's Advincula apparently one of the World Cup's fastest players. Will be interesting to watch.

    Paolo Guerrero is their main man and all-time top goal scorer, from what I've read.

    BBC just been talking about him, could be a competitive match this one.

    Yeah, wouldn't be surprised if both teams scores. Eriksen for Denmark, probably, or Yussuf Poulsen. Pione Sisto may be one to watch.

    The delay for the game to be stopped prior to the penalty decision was farcical

    What a miss! Good for Denmark to go into half-time without conceding.

    And Poulsen does it!

    This is not a 0-1 game based on performances, that's for sure. Peru have been really close!

    Audacious skill that back heel deserved to go in

    That would have been quite a goal!

    Zanka on for Christensen. Injuries now would be bad for Denmark.

    Oooh, Schmeichel doing what a goalkeeper is there for! Great save!

    Denmark kept Peru from scoring, winning the important first match. Good start for Hareide's men!

    A for effort though PERU failed as lacked composure in key moments.

    To Denmark's luck. Could have been a totally different score if Peru put those chances in the net.

    It's those injuries though; they can make things more difficult. Hopefully nothing serious.

    Onto game four hoping Nigeria can cause a shock

    Hoping for a Nigeria win, too. Iwobi to score, perhaps?

    I was close to doing so too, but went for three expensive players instead - downgrading the midfield. If he starts well, I might have to change things.
