Denmark fan

Again negative headlines at the EM. After Budapest, rainbow flags are also not welcome in the Baku Olympic Stadium.

The dispute over the forbidden rainbow lighting of the Allianz Arena in Munich has caused a stir around the world. Recently, reports of hostility from fans carrying rainbow flags increased in the Puskas Arena in Budapest.

And in the quarter-final match between Denmark and the Czech Republic (2-1), a sign of diversity and against discrimination was not wanted. Before the game, two stewards had stolen the rainbow flag from a Danish football fan sitting in the stands.

The scene had been captured and documented by photographers who were in the stadium. Most recently, UEFA had stated that rainbow flags were not banned in stadiums. However, these pictures show the opposite.

In the run-up to the quarter-finals, the European Football Association had stipulated that the rainbow flag was not allowed to appear on the advertising boards in St. Petersburg and Baku. The German car maker Volkswagen wanted to use the symbol to advertise diversity. UEFA was concerned that this was not allowed.

Before the Danes shot their way into the EM semifinals against the Czech Republic, a scene in the stands caused a sensation.

The Danish fans had every reason to cheer on Saturday evening. Your national team prevailed against the Czech Republic 2-1 in the EM quarter-finals and is in a semi-final for the first time since 1992. The Ukraine or England are now waiting there.

However, a scene shortly before the start of the game caused a stir in Baku. And it didn't take place on the lawn, but in the stands. Two Denmark fans had brought a rainbow flag into the stadium and proudly held it up to the cameras. A little later, two files could be seen who appeared in the Danes' fan block and tried to take the flag from the two supporters. As a result, there was even a small commotion, and the fans all around visibly protested.

The rainbow and tolerance

In any case, the scenes and pictures also made the rounds on social media. In any case, the incident should be investigated. In response to a request from the German Press Agency, UEFA also announced that stewards were instructed to confiscate rainbow flags.

The explosiveness should not be underestimated, as UEFA had only announced in advance (similar to the one in St. Petersburg on Friday) that it would also refrain from lighting the advertising boards in the rainbow style in Baku. The reason? “Concerns about the legal framework in Russia and Azerbaijan,” it said.

The rainbow colors as a symbol of tolerance and sexual and gender diversity had already been a huge EM topic last week because UEFA had banned the Munich arena from shining brightly for the German game against Hungary. This was preceded by a motion from the city of Munich, which was also aimed at protesting a law passed in Hungary that restricts young people's rights to information with regard to homosexuality and transsexuality. At the German game, for example, a speedster with a rainbow flag stormed the field.

Denmark

Denmark is the big surprise team at the European Championship. After a 2-1 win over the Czech Republic, the Scandinavians are already in the semi-finals.

After the European Championships for Denmark had started with Christian Eriksen's shock collapse, the “Danish Dynamite” has really got going and has already shot into the last four against the Czech Republic. Memories of 1992 come back when the Scandinavians sensationally became European champions.

There is still a long way to go before then. But the Danish fairy tale is alive. “This is amazing,” said captain Simon Kjaer on Danish television, speechless. “Our goal before the European Championship was to come to Wembley, but I would be lying if we said that we were happy with it now. It's an amazing achievement,” beamed the central defender. Both semi-finals and the final will be played in the London soccer temple next week.

Above all, Kjaer conjured the team spirit among the EM outsiders. “We're a fantastic group. We trust each other, we're there for each other. And we know that Christian is fine. We play for him. It's huge,” added the Danish captain.

Meanwhile, team boss Kasper Hjulmand was enthusiastic about the performance of his team. “I'm so proud. The way the team works on the pitch and gives everything is great. I think the whole of Denmark is so happy and so proud. It's a great moment that will be enjoyed. And it will start again on Wednesday “, the successful coach in the” ARD “already looked at the semifinals. In which the Danish fairy tale should continue.

Herbert Prohaska

With their quarter-final victory over the Ukraine (4-0), the English national team saved Herbert Prohaska from bizarre betting.

the “ORF” expert and his analytics partner Roman Mählich had let themselves be carried away with a daring bet before kick-off. A rise of Austria's group opponents would have been worth a special performance for the duo.

“There is hardly anything that speaks for Ukraine,” Mählich introduced before the game. And added: “I'll go even further: If Ukraine can manage that, we will moderate the next game in Ukrainian folk costumes.”

Convinced of the success of the “Three Lions”, Prohaska also accepted the strange bet. “Hung up, caught up. What should I do now?” Asked Austria's footballer of the century with a smile. So the bet was on.

But there will be no appearance in the Ukrainian national costume. Because the two experts were right. The “Three Lions” celebrated a clear 4-0 victory.

Tomljanovic

In the duel between Ajla Tomljanovic and Jelena Ostapenko at Wimbledon, not only did the balls fly over the net, they also fought a verbal duel.

In the third round of the lawn classic, the Australian Tomljanovic prevailed 4: 6, 6: 4 and 6: 2 against the former French Open winner. The harder blows, however, followed immediately afterwards. Because Ostapenko was not exactly a fair loser.

“You have zero respect,” the Latvian whispered to her opponent, then shook her head afterwards: “Your behavior is terrible, just terrible.”

Ostapenko alluded to the third set when the Australian was already 4-0 ahead before the Latvian went to the chair referee and asked for a physiotherapist. You have abdominal muscle problems. “I can't go on like this,” Ostapenko said.

Tomljanovic did not believe that and demanded a decision from the supervisor. “You know she's lying, don't you? We all know. Do you take into account that she has looked good so far?” The Australian said to the chair umpire.

The Latvian was then allowed to be treated outside the field. It had taken eleven minutes before she appeared on the court again. And still lost the third round 2: 6. Tomljanovic then described the behavior of her opponent as “shameful”. Especially as a Grand Slam winner, she has to appear differently, be a role model for children.

Ostapenko was also really charged after the game. “It's just disrespectful of her. Any athlete can suffer an injury. At some point the pain got bigger and I couldn't hit properly,” said the Latvian.

There will be no new duel for the time being. Ostapenko has to pack her bags. And Tomljanovic is up against British wildcard player Emma Raducanu.
