The Group C clash between Denmark and Australia ended 1-1, leaving both sides’ hopes of progressing to the World Cup last-16 hanging in the balance.
Spurs star Christian Eriksen gave the Danes an early lead with a sublime finish, with Aston Villa’s Mile Jedinak equalising from the penalty spot.
Australia were once again the beneficiaries of a VAR decision, a Yussuf Poulsen handball the culprit on this occasion.
Much of the discussion concerned Mary, Crown Princess of Denmark who was born and raised in Tasmania, only setting foot in Denmark in her 20s.
These were the best jokes from Denmark 1-1 Australia at Russia 2018:

The most annoying thing is that Eriksen is likeable. Can’t even hate him for scoring. #DENAUS #WorldCup18 #gosocceroos

So, when is it ok to discuss how ridiculous that penalty was? #DENAUS

FIFA could save themselves a lot of VAR controversy by quickly asking Clattenberg what he would have given, then doing the opposite. #CPFC #DENAUS

To be fair, to truly equalise with Denmark we’d have to go and find a real estate agent in Jutland and make her our queen. #DENAUS
