MOSCOW (AP) - A game no team needed to win became the game no fan would want to watch.
Denmark advances at World Cup in drab 0-0 draw with France
France and Denmark produced the World Cup's first 0-0 draw at the 37th attempt amid boos and whistles from fans on Tuesday.
The slow-paced game was out of step with a vibrant tournament. But it advanced both teams to the round of 16 unbeaten, with the bonus of no players suspended and no serious injuries.
The draw would always have ensured that outcome, and became inevitable in the second half.
