Martin O'Neill popped up in the ITV studio ahead of Denmark vs Australia, and was subjected to a reel of Christian Eriksen's hat-trick in Dublin. The Irish manager admitted that he didn't particularly enjoy watching the goals, but did shower Eriksen in praise (conveniently leaving out the part where he was shackled in the first-half until O'Neil whipped off his entire midfield in a panic at the break).
O'Neill and everyone else watching was treated to another moment of Eriksen genius just minutes into Denmark's second Group B game. The goal owed much to Nicolai Jorgensen, who teed Eriksen up beautifully. That said, Eriksen's sliced finish was beautiful.
