What a Scandal!

There was a Euro 2008 qualification game in fotball, Denmark versus Sweden in the Danish capitol Copenhagen tonight. We saw it on TV. The game ended in a scandal, when, at the standings 3-3 towards the end, Sweden got a penalty shot and a Danish fan ran out in the field and hit the referee. The safety could not be upheld, so the referee declared the game finished. Thus, nobody were allowed to see the exciting final minutes of the game. It looks like Sweden will be declared the winner of the game by 3-0, as a penalty against Denmark. Even though it is nice that Sweden wins, it would have been much better to win by 4-3 after scoring at the penalty shot. This was a scandal that must be debated across Europe in the days to come. The Danes must do something about the safety at their football stadium.
