I'm not sure why I'm bringing attention to this but here goes.
Due to a contract dispute between the Danish FA and the players union, caused in part by competing sponsorship issues, tonight's friendly away game against Slovakia will be contested by representatives from some of our sunday leagues, only one of whom has ever even been close to top flight football, as well as several members of the national futsal team.

They will be playing 4-2-3-1, with John Faxe Jensen as coach.

Tickets to the game are still available, for 1 euro a pop.

Looking forward to some records being broken, and most likely also some shins.

GG please do what you want with this thread, I regret making it already.

The record is 149, but that was just one team scoring own goals under protest.

Nah, this is a weird situation that deserves some discussion. I've changed the title though.

The team will play the actual UEFA NATIONS LEAGUE game against Wales if something doesn't get sorted out, right? That I think is the real chance for a broken scoreboard.

The current slovakia match is at 2-0 with 38 minutes played. So not good, but not absurd by any means.

This is every poo poo clogger's dream and I'm glad that a bunch of Sunday league players get to represent their country.

Oh and just for the record:

All these plucky little part-time players enjoying the experience of a lifetime are a bunch of loving scabs :commissar:

Swedish style? No.
Yugoslavian style? Of course not.
It has to be Zlatan-style.

Lol this hadn't even occurred to me

There's plenty of examples of teams full of awful semi-pro players putting up a good fight against real actual good teams though, so while they'll almost certainly lose I don't see any reason to think they'll lose by any record setting score

Fun fact: this match had higher attendance than the last friendly (played in Slovakia) between the two countries.
Less fun fact: everything else about this match.

American samoa conceded over 30 but those players would probably get pumped by most European sunday league teams.

They'll probably get embarrassed but even Gibraltar put up a decent fight most of the time.
