I also would have liked a comfortable victory tonight. But it wasn't essential at this point, we were already through, technically. So I can see why the players were not out to do anything that would be a gamble for the rest of the tournament. They just did what they needed to do to progress in the tournament.
He had to play his first team because we wasn't sure if we were mathematical through, but those players won't be going full tilt with the chance of picking up cards and injuries. They just made sure they got through by getting the result that was required.

We WERE through the moment Spain beat Albania the night before !!
It was a basically a free hit .. just better to top the table to avoid other table topping teams .. but then France finished THIRD so that theory was flawed .
Given how useless and leggy they all looked against Denmark he should’ve played 10 reserves to see what they can do under this type of pressure
