of one and only peter schmeichel actually asked him for the game twenty years ago in one thousand nine hundred eight when the situation in the group was exactly the same at the one thousand nine hundred. games but he said that he didn't even pay attention to that game because he was focusing on the job at hand which was to secure a qualification not to lose to one of the strongest sides in the tournament one of the favorites to lift the french national side so i also asked him about the video assistant referee system which was introduced in this world cup and in fact michael has already been on the receiving end of two cases of interference in the previous two games so this was the first game that you have played in this tournament without any kind of foreign interference does that make you feel better. well i think it probably should have been to go into variances. we should have but. where do you stand on the do you think it's time to. write a final one so you probably playing creation the next round. very potent forward line what do you think is some scary or. calm collected. well l

could be there in the well i think it has to be our co-host that's peter schmeichel of course he's not here today because he's watching denmark play and his son his doppelganger his lookalikes there as well yeah cast michael of course is in goal so i'm sure. that people will be on the edge of p.c. watching that game you know denmark they are playing without too if they key midfielders in this game so that's a bit of a challenge for them but they do still have best stop players christian eriksen he scored seventeen goals in the last twenty games for his country so yeah everyone to be keeping an eye on him throughout the smog of course you can see that on screen he's done a great job in in the goal for denmark as well i'm sure peter can be proud of him but of course it this is a bit of a deja vu because france and denmark they've played twice each other in the group stages france and when democrats go to win but of course in two thousand and two it was the front of the competition so can they repeat that is the big question here can they get a second wind must be very wicked for peter sc

hello and welcome to the peter schmeichel show we merely that with a group face we only got six more games to play so that means six more teams further on in the tournament and six teams going home i want you believe it we've already had a sensation today headlining breaking news the holders germany out. today the last two nil to south korea and at the same time sweden beat mexico three nail let's just have a look at the group table and see if that how that looks but as you can see sweden the winning the group that were in the group because they beat mexico three nil mexico thought they were out but they won because germany lost to south korea and not only germany out of the world cup they're also humiliated for the first time ever not out of the group and also in the last place of it and then at nine o'clock tonight it's a conclusion of group the group of ten and it certainly has lived up to that name here brazil play serbia and costa rica play switzerland and let's just take a look at the groups able to sell our own four points they lead with the smallest of margins one goal to swi

hello welcome to our special coverage coming up peter schmeichel stem our current action right now against freeman as me again that this will come in to talk to james shortly also on the iceland to live audience seems local holding them to a one one draw in moscow and coming up the. breakdown of not one yes i mean yeah i run. victory i think. well welcome to a sunday evening here in moscow and our special coverage of the world cup fever just kicking off a stand off against reigning surrounds and we have got. to take a stand heartful my number one peter schmeichel is with us and also in fact his son is ingolf the danes tonight peter you're nervous but very proud father this evening i can imagine yeah it's it's a big day for this michel family and. you know for to have a son playing in the world cup that is something that you know he's been doing so well for all of his career so you know nothing surprises me anymore and what he achieved but yes i'm a little bit nervous i really really want ten months to do was these well cards it's been a long time since we've been in the world cup. to that

hello and welcome to the peter schmeichel show the group face on nearly done enough this feat thought well cup two thousand and eighteen here in russia tomorrow a days of play and we know who all the sixteen teams that will play in the next stage of this tournament. and by the end of today fall more teams would have qualified another four teams would be on their way back home for the day it all begins in group f. and that's where mexico they play sweden and germany they're up against south korea and both games think so. at the same time five pm moscow time so who will go through here well the short answer is that everybody can mexico who have won the first two games can still end up going home after today and south korea has lost both of their two games they could still be in the tournament if they beat germany with more than three goals and sweden at the same time they loose is to make soko it can get very complicated if germany and sweden win their games one nil that would leave mexico germany and sweden and six points each all having scored three goals and conceded two and in this

and we're running the peter schmeichel show for this week it will be on. and i see a few more times and i actually have an interview with stephanie stein in. this episode. i mean i met up with him in lugano in the in the training camp before the world cup and he is a most pleasant guy he's a very clever intelligent person who knows a lot of stuff outside football and you know he's he's he you understand why is a captain but today he didn't show any of that very stupidly got himself ball and that means if switzerland go through as it stands at the moment then stephanie stein a captain will be playing in that game and he's sure to be missed on the pitch the leader of course you know about the huge shock of the day this really rocked the world cup holders germany they're expected to progress they're expected to beat south korea when even close parts for every down side there's an up and there were celebrations for both sweden on mexico they played each other but they both went through to the last sixteen thanks to arista relics and they united in their joy ge

star co-hosts peter schmeichel and a marine you know give us a play by play breakdown. yes hello again and five russia have a magical start ever more the way the saudis believe me came with me now to talk about it is that peter schmeichel film of mine you know i tell people and also money and i could manage it chasing really i think it's safe to say sniff a to be fresh but this is exactly what russia needed and it's going to do so much good for for the holiday and it's for the atmosphere around the russian team i mean i've been traveling around russian off six months and it's very little positive i've heard about the team they have now won five of those and they've convinced people that they can actually play football and compete at this level and i hope the russians are not like the portuguese because for us the distance between super optimistic and pessimistic is very strong and i think that they didn't have reasons for be so pessimistic but now i'm a bit like like people say it's nice because of course is a great result of course maybe one volt becomes crucial one kn

of one and only peter schmeichel actually asked him first whether the game twenty years ago in one thousand nine hundred eight when the situation in the group was exactly the same at the one thousand nine hundred. games but he said that he didn't even pay attention to that game because he was focusing on the job at hand which was to secure a qualification possibly not to lose to one of the strongest sides in the tournament one of the favorites to lift the french national side so i also asked him about the video assistant referee system which was introduced in this world cup and in fact schmeichel has already been on the receiving end of two cases of interference in the previous two games so this was the first game that you have played in this tournament without any kind of foreign interference did that make you feel better. oh i think i probably should have been suvorin variances from my own like we should have but. where do you stand on the do you think it's a good time there's a. lot of fun. right the final one so you're probably playing creation the next round. very potent forward line w

but another member of our team is a world cup team legendary danish goalkeeper peter schmeichel he's certainly been checking out russia's host cities for us his penultimate stop at some petersburg where he indulged in the city's culture for the meantime we're back in just a. it's . i mean the thing peters both stadium and i have to say looking up at the fabulous everyone watching football you will have a great view. but then i looked down and there's no pitch but don't worry that's because this is a smart stadium they roll the pitch out and when they need it they're both back in and here is the pitch just laying there. being groomed and the way they roll it back in is. just normal wheels it looks absolutely. spectacular. it takes about ninety minutes each way at the moment the pitchers in the sunshine getting ready to be plastic for the seven games of the be played and i think the pick of the bunch there must be that costa rica gets another shot at brazil and i will call i've been told that st petersburg is a fantastic state and peter schmeichel and i'm so weak it's find out if that'

rica is out of the tournament for sure so there's everything to play for for the other teams peter schmeichel caught up with switzerland team captain. for i os which didn't always to the world in the competitions. because we've evolved a lot of levy changed a little bit i was styled to play before we scored many goals from corner kicks free kicks and now we have still displaying is playing also forward and all the more only behind and then you play on court also as we know. you play just woodfull you have. different mentalities we have believe he can do the one against one they have very very good cross the so he walked a lot off these also to not be afraid to play against a big teams only be like them because stop what they don't like that's why i'm sure that also in this world cup you can do very well i don't know man. so as for the current standings of group s. mexico is in the lead with six points germany in second place on three sweden have been the same while south korea has zero points they are out of the total but i'll jump in five this have faith faith rather that he will ultimately

place at the fish to stadium in sochi that was built for the twenty fourteen winter olympics peter schmeichel has been taking a look around. broken sophisticated and welcome to such a. such he was like the soviets caught this it was where the elite came for the holidays the politicians militaries and axes they all that their own designated sanatorium and this one for instance was for the teachers and the scientists. i wonder if they could see in you and the teammates will appreciate the salvia because this will be priscilla's home for the well called. one of the really really cool things about sochi is you can literally feel on the beach working on your son time in forty minutes later you can feel his snowboarding skiing whatever you fancy and the world cup is in june and even then you could do so we were pretty well i think about two thousand five hundred metres even if you go and ski the still a lot of things to do up here me for instance i'm going to go for. the go. go . one of the big attractions is of course the all to drop list been for formula one races here so far both us and hamilton

action packed games to talk us through the goals and the early signs for the tournaments are peter schmeichel and just a marine. force from iceland they since they were babies or do you think i'd love to meet them on breakfast immediately it's it's a big day for this right the families. you know have a son playing in the world cup. in the pick of the days matches iceland brings their thunderclap to moscow and secure a shock draw against heavyweights argentina. which is a celebration of football a british newspaper publishes and then remove a series of pictures apparently showing the darker side of life in the host nation the photographer claims the paper misrepresented his work to create a false narrative. a month into the program from all of us here at r t h q in moscow thanks for tuning in this hour. day three of the future world cup has come to an end and it was the busiest of the tournament so far with four matches the last of them saw an experience croatia side power to a two zero victory over nigeria the youngest team in the competition the corrections took the lead in the thirty second

through south american style world cup signing peter schmeichel popped along not. just denmark in action but also his own son who's the goalkeeper of course keeping up the family tradition step back in history nine hundred ninety eight and two thousand and two france and denmark found themselves in exactly the same situation a match in the final group game schmeichel jr did his that proud repeating the clean sheets he kept sixteen years ago artie's alexei you're a chef ski caught up with casper soon after the match so this was the first game that you had played in the store and without any kind of far interference did that make you feel better. oh i think i probably should have been suvorin the variance is. that it looked like we should have at super but. it wasn't given where do you stand on the body do you think it's time to. write a final one so you're probably playing creation the next round. very potent forward line what do you think is it is that some scary or common collected. huge well let's see if it is crozier it's likely very likely to be but today we ju

as world cup team legendary danish goalkeeper peter schmeichel has been out checking how russia's host city is for us his penultimate stop some petersburg where he indulged in the city's culture. it's. i mean isn't peter's book stadium and i have to say looking up it looks fabulous everyone watching football you would have a great view. but then i look down and there's no page but don't worry that's because this is a smart stadium they rolled the pitch out and when they need it they're both back in and here is the pitch. just laying there. being through and the way they roll it back in is. purchased normal wheels it looks absolutely. spectacular. it takes about ninety minutes each way at the moment the pitchers in the sunshine getting ready to be passed six of the seven games of the be played and i think the pick of the punch there must be that costa rica gets another shot at brazil and that will come up and told that st petersburg is a fantastic state and peter schmeichel and i'm so weak it's find out if that's true . but i started to travel around to the eleven posted and everyone sa

actually for one man this game is bigger than anything else it's of course i'm talking about peter schmeichel our very own part of our team and i will present his son kasper smikle is defending the goal for denmark today and for the last two games the previous games in the group as well and interesting enough this game is exactly the same as it was twenty years ago at the only world cup where peter schmeichel played for denmark in one thousand nine hundred eight this situation moreover in the group was exactly the same france was on six points denmark was on four so back then the danes capitulated to a two one defeat a very close game actually but they still lost but yet made it out of the group from the from the group in the one thousand nine hundred eight the question is whether of course the same will happen today the very strong odds that this will be exactly the same conclusion even if denmark loses to france which is possible because the rupee and swap playing australia are not willing to go easy and they will put up a fight as many pundits have been predicting against the man from the

yeah about match is going to take place in the newly built senate arena head of the tournament peter schmeichel explored the northern cultural capital of russia. in st petersburg stadium and i have to say looking up. as everyone watching football here we have a great view. but then i look down and there's no pitch but don't worry that's because this is a smart stadium they roll the pictures out and when they need it they were back in and the way they roll it back in is the purchased normal wheels it looks absolutely . spectacular. then takes about ninety minutes each way. up and told that st petersburg is a fantastic city and i'm so we get to find out if that's a choose. my first stop the peterhof palace where this used to come every summer it's a summer residence and it's beautiful and i got the privilege to turn the fountain on. the chairman of the clinton foundation is a pretty simple thing happens to be one of the season passes for the well count on top of being one of the best. world. to see it play something i think i go yeah. ok. i want to say i want to see the way you play the very very

i've been told that st petersburg is a fantastic city and peter schmeichel and i'm so weak it's find out is the truth. but i started to travel around to the eleven old cities and everyone said to me once he gets things he did you would see something truly amazing my first stop the peterhof policy where this used to come every summer residence and it's beautiful. and i got the privilege to stay in the fountain on. i think in those pretty pretty good with the water coming out of it and also i think i did a pretty good job. because they lived a charmed life i can tell you the. fountains statues. it's so extravagant all the cool all the glitz. that looks precisely like the hotel in sochi where brazil is when they come to st peter's puts in place because if they see this they must feel right at home. i'm enjoying my time as a tourist the grounds v.o.r. and first if i have to say it's well worth a visit. one of my favorite musical pieces is not enough second piano. to challenge the foundation is a big football fan happens to be one of the feet from the top on top of being one of the best.

need to be coached and if you're wondering spain need a point but before we talk about that peter schmeichel welcome of take a deep breath give you a chance to speak i want to talk about that mystery here in moscow is great to be back and this is why it's great because the atmosphere is fantastic and we have i've obviously can count that there's a lot of a few thousand people down there and it's it's a mexican fans makes the russian fans and i can see german flags i see red shirts i would love to say that much of it but i've been disappointed every time i've i've come close enough to see in the pageant they will come to morrow i hope i see swedish i see colombian shirts a lot i mean. and they're very nice and they're having an incredible time and it's just been like i'm grateful they keep me entertained if nothing else it's nice having them be so nice and like i tell you what really makes me happy is that football is doing this you know this people have traveled from everywhere in the world we've seen a lot of australian fans are straight is a fair bit away from here in siena fans we've seen

reminder this is what the feet of president jiang know infancy know told us last week on the peter schmeichel show. in two thousand and eighteen if everyone in front of a steamy or inside the stadium if it's small by four known within a few seconds whether their face committed a big mistake and the only one who doesn't know it is the referee himself we make something. i think that we can all agree on the whole world hates see and yet nothing was giving i think the referee made a mistake by not giving the penances straight away but i fully accept that that's part of the game it happens but the valar assistance obligation is to alert the referee that you might be making and this is fee for language by the way a clear and obvious mistake and i think he told him that it was not a penalty and therefore grossly let the referee down so why didn't the polish referee coal volume self well why would he if he was told that it was not a filed and this i believe goes against the principle of the whole system is a tool for the referee to help him make the correct decision and voc is introduced to make foot

that was required to see them through to the next round of very exclusive world cup signing peter schmeichel popped along to catch not just denmark his country action today but his own son who's the keeper keeping up the family tradition of course but of deja vu the nineteen ninety eight and two thousand and two fronts and then lock found themselves in exactly the same situation a match in the final group game as michael jr certainly does that proud and repeated the clean sheet he kept sixteen years ago quite surreal cvs the fallout. but meanwhile ati's alexy are have been closely following the much anticipated game between from from denmark has more on what has changed since i last encountering. full time at luzhniki denmark against france and snail mail it took us thirty seven games to actually get to the first goal is draw at the twenty eight in world cup now the one man who probably will be the happiest of all here is very own peter schmeichel because his sound cast leaves the pitch tonight with a clean sheet have a not conceded a goal unlike twenty years ago when denmark also played fra

do right now i'm very pleased to say alongside me throughout that so it will be a great day peter schmeichel twice a vote the best goalkeeper in the world you're looking very well by the way i think . and i just want to say pieces here especially basically cut for me because i'm going down to join the football fans and have a few beers and i'm going there red square there's a big concert tonight it's opening officially opening on the world cup the world cup you can smell it it's here so many friends already here have a look at the. i . thought it. was. the first match of the tournament kicks off with russia taking saudi arabia let's see what george zimmerman you have to say about the opening match. pressure for russia. the world cup at home. the world is watching them and this is the big chance to qualify used to be the saudi arabia that in spite of some talent is the knife team is a team from a different reality and russia has to win it and you can find more of the manchester united manager predictions if you had a meeting dot com you won't think he was talking nonsense if you think so chal

predictions from the group's stage on woods now another member of the world cup team danish goalkeeper peter schmeichel has been checking out russia's host cities for us will stop. checked out some of the culture for the meantime with . it's. i mean the thing peters both stadium and i have to say looking up at the fabulous everyone watching football you will have a great view. but then i look down and there's no pitch but don't worry that's because this is a smart stadium they roll the pitch out and when they need it they're both back in and here is the pitch just laying there. being pruned and the way they roll it back in is. just normal wheels it looks absolutely. spectacular. it takes about ninety minutes each way at the moment the pitchers in the sunshine getting ready to be tested for the seven games of the be played and i think the pick of the punch there must be that costa rica gets another shot at brazil and i will call i've been told that st petersburg is a fantastic state i'm peter schmeichel and i'm so weak it's find out is that true. when i started to travel around to the eleven old cities

have finished their second game so now it's a neil harvey and peter schmeichel world cup pub in st petersburg for the analysis . welcome to another beautiful white night here in st petersburg defend itself russia is no. white knight here but a dark day for argentinian football tina founds trust me on this look away now step away from the t.v. come back in five minutes you do not want to know what happened to your team tonight's show i shared three argentina nil peter schmeichel you watch it with me and it was a bit like watching a horror movie a disaster unfolding before us. i'm not sure i agree with our knowledge and tina's perspective oh yeah but why why do we care so much about argentina we should praise croatia for what they did tonight and what they did in the first game now we talked about the big players you know the big scene the big stage when when you come to these events like the world cup the big players they perform and today mensing who is a big player didn't turn up again like you didn't do in the game against iceland and when you decide your team to be around messi then you pa
