Denmark exit Euro 2020 bitter and disappointed, and yet full of hope

LONDON -- In the immediate aftermath of Denmark's Euro 2020 elimination on Wednesday at the hands of England, Kasper Hjulmand doesn't strike you as an angry man. Rather, the vibe that permeates through the laptop screen during his remote news conference is one of a guy who is disappointed and confused.

"You can't go out like this; certain things shouldn't happen," he said. "I feel bitterness."

Hjulmand is referring to the penalty awarded to England at the end of the first period of extra time. The one where Raheem Sterling skipped past Joakim Maehle and went down.
