How does a team that DIDN'T qualify end up @UEFAEURO champions ten days later?

#OnThisDay in 1992, @DBUfodbold, called up only after Yugoslavia were expelled, beat world champions @DFB_Team 2-0 in the final.

One of football's greatest fairytales.

#OnThisDay in 1981, @dbulandshold beat @Azzurri 3-1 in Copenhagen

A @FIFAWorldCup qualifier

Italy: Zoff, Scirea, Gentile, Tardelli, Conti.
Denmark: a team still becoming one

It looked like a shock. It was ignition

The spark that lit Danish Dynamite

#OnThisDay in 1886, football created its most important institution that almost nobody talks about

Not FIFA. Not UEFA. Not Premier League

@TheIFAB -the International Football Association Board

The body that still guards the 17 Laws of the Game today

#OnThisDay in 1978, the @FIFAWorldCup opened in Buenos Aires

@DFB_Team, defending champions, vs @LaczyNasPilka, third in 1974

Maier, Vogts, Bonhof, Deyna, Lato, Szarmach, Boniek

The result? 0-0

Fourth straight goalless WC opener. The curse was real

#OnThisDay in 1996, two goalkeepers on opposite sides of the world did the same impossible thing

Mogens Krogh. @BrondbyIF Denmark
Carlos Bossio. @EdelpOficial Argentina

Same day. Same position. Same emergency

Late corners. Headed equalizers

@17LawsGuy @BrondbyIF @footyheritage I remember sitting in a taxi, bound for Copenhagen airport, and the taxi driver & I were both listening to the radio transmission from Aarhus Stadion - so I experienced Mogens Krogh's incredible equalizer via live radio. @BrondbyStats 💛💙

.@Linkedin You keep asking me to verify. How do I do that with an “ø” in my name, please?

@MartinAnderse16 @danskfodboldcom @MikaelUhre @BrondbyIF @PhilaUnion @MLS @DBUfodbold @SportingKC Per Pedersen never played in @MLS. In 1997, however, while representing @Odense_Boldklub in an unofficial match for the Danish League XI against USA, he scored 4 goals. #sldk #doop

[Søren Elbech @sorenelbech]

If @MikaelUhre transfers from @BrondbyIF to @PhilaUnion he can become the 2nd player to represent a @MLS club for the @DBUfodbold Danish National Team, correct @danskfodboldcom? (The 1st being Miklos Molnar for @SportingKC)? #sldk #brondby #transferdk #mls #doop
