Denmark played a good match against Germany, but the host nation was too strong. They won 2-0 and qualified for the quarter-finals. Kasper Schmeichel could not be blamed.

He indicated after the match that he would not withdraw from playing as an international player with Denmark. He was angry at the punishment Germany received. The shot led to a penalty kick and that was the turning point. Such penalties cause more and more frustration among players.
“I’ve been playing for over 20 years and I probably don’t know the rules of handball anymore. I don’t know what Joachim will do with his arm when he runs and his arm hits him from one metre away,” he stated.
