A salesman, a student and a freestyle footballer represent Denmark
Denmark fielded one of the most unusual international line-ups, with a squad featuring a salesman, a student, an internet freestyle footballer. The friendly, against Slovakia, saw the starting XI include Christian Offenberg, a part-time salesman who played for Danish third-tier club Avarta, student Simon Vollesen from the fifth tier, and Rasmus Johansson, a midfielder better known as an internet freestyle footballer with thousands of online followers. Coming up against a Slovakia team containing established internationals including former Liverpool defender Martin Å krtel and Napoli star Marek HamÅ¡Ãk, they lost 3-0. Adam Nemec and Albert Rusnák gave Slovakia a 2-0 half-time lead before futsal player Adam Fogt scored an own goal after coming on as a substitute.
