A youth team match vs Lyngby
Had some business in town this morning and figured I'd drop by the training grounds on my way. But I was late and missed it. Noticed a youth team match nearby and stuck around for about half an hour. Why not it wasn't raining that much!
It was a visit from Lyngby. True to the prejudice of Lyngby style of play, they had the ball and attacked. The guests's no. 12, "Yousuff" judging from the shouts - a tall kid with curly black hair, did well in an offensive midfielder role. The Copenhagen defense deterred most efforts though and the rest missed the goal. One of the defenders were called "Højer" which should ring a bell.
"Yousuff" opening for a pass on their right wing.
But not getting past the defense anyway.
The part of the match I watched was a 2-0 win because the lone striker, a stocky black kid, scored on the two chances he got (not entirely sure he did the actual finishing as it was in the far end of the field, but almost sure). Quality performance judging from the very little I saw; he didn't lose the ball a single time he got it. Think his name was "Dan" or something like that.
A lonely striker.

Man I miss the Super league season...
Moved on only to find the shop I was going to had closed. Well at least I got some fresh air... and rain on this Saturday morning.

Friendly and half-naked internationals
Last training before summer break was yesterday's football golf competition. Once again it's Ailton Almeida's butt we see in the pictures at fck.dk - although this time he won! Last time they said it was because he lost!? (Although to admit it I have always been wondering - how could Ailton have lost a ball juggling contest?)
Other players already left to warm up for the EURO 2008. Just take a look at this beautiful sight...
Article from official EURO 2008 website: Sionko strikes twice to cheer Czechs.
It's all in above link title. Our Czechs helped beat Scotland.
Neither played earlier this week when Lithuania was beaten 2-0.
Denmark did much better than feared when drawing with the Netherlands. Goalie Jesper Christiansen played because Sørensen was injured warming up and William Kvist Jørgensen did 82 minutes of right back duty. Former players Lars Jacobsen, Christian Poulsen (goal) and former youth player Niklas Bendtner (assist) played too.
Atiba Hutchinson will play with Canada who host Brazil.
Canada looks forward to friendly with Brazil
And Denmark will play Poland. Last time we beat them 6-0.

former Rangers FC player Sionko produced a sudden burst of pace in the box to run on to Zdeněk Pospěch's pass and confidently shoot past Craig Gordon.

Sunday's games
Atiba Hutchinson will play with Canada who host Brazil.
The midfield presents a lot of options with Julian de Guzman of Spain's Deportivo La Coruna, Dwayne De Rosario of the Dynamo and Atiba Hutchinson of Denmark's FC Copenhagen sure to be in the mix.

Naked butts
Danish newspaper B.T. put up a little gallery of Mathias 'Zanka' Jørgensen and Ailton Almeida accepting the punishment for losing a ball juggling competition: Having the rest of the team fire off shots at their bared buttocks.

17th of July training session
Here's a couple of photographs and notes on today's training session for you.
(For larger size images at Flickr.com just click.)
Coach Solbakken interrupted training often to explain, complain and illustrate. Here it seems to be on how to dance like a chicken
This is sideways jumping while grapping your crutch
Our Canadian super-star, Atiba Hutchinson, did nothing but jogging and stretching today

"Incoming!"

Today's audience
During today's training game Oscar Wendt did quite a bit of "first team" right back duty. And he did very well. Morten Nordstrand scored the only regular goal after creating a chance himself when exploiting the "second team" defense being sloppy with a fast ball at the wet surface.
Expected lineup
M Allbäck - A Almeida
J Grønkjær - HB Nørregaard - R Würtz - M Silberbauer
N Jensen - B Hangeland - M Gravgaard - O Wendt
J Christiansen
