Bollocks: Norwegian ref had a bad day

Royal League 2006/2007 final: Brøndby IF 1 - FC København 0. That's the score and nothing will change that. I'm feeling slightly bitter because the conceded goal was a penalty. Obviously I don't have a picture of the foul, but you can see it at this article at Danish Ekstra Bladet: yes, the ref actually blew his whistle on Grønkjær. Unfortunately that wasn't his only mistake this day.

I'll quit before I build up some real anger here. Read the AP or Reuters story. Or dare visit the Royal League home page.

denmark.dk / Danish team will win Scandinavian championship

For the third time in the three year history of the Scandinavian championship, the final match will be a contest between Copenhagen cross-town rivals FCK and Brøndby.

Wrong. I should know. I was physically present at both previous finals.

Copenhagen Files

I love football and I love the Internet. Copenhagen Files is a playground of mine for the latter and a billboard of the former. The focus is on FC København - the #1 club in Copenhagen and Denmark.

I watch every single FC København game - aways usually on the Danish TV, home games currently from my season ticket seat at Parken Stadium. Every now and then a report from the nearby training pitches are to be expected. Or perhaps just from the supporter environment at local parks or bars ;-)

I also like to bet on games which usually takes place online these days. Therefore, I gather numbers and look at them; I analyze, twist, turn and play with them. And some of them ends up here as my probability assessments. But this blog is not about betting.

In the right hand column I collect every single relevant link you can think of. I actually use it for bookmarks often - perhaps they will prove handy to you too? They should easily guide you to the latest info on injuries, club economy, squad value etc.
