If the team felt like they were far away from home when they played in Amsterdam, they weren't prepared for their game against the Czech Republic that's going to take place in Baku, Azerbaijan.
The stadium could very well be a pressure cooker as the sweltering heat in the Azerbaijani capital comes down hard on Thomas Delaney and the rest of the players. There's nothing else to do but play football and try to forget everything else, but there's no doubt about it: this game means everything. If they win it's on to the semifinals at Wembley Stadium.
For Mads Mygind the same tension is very much present in his apartment where he's watching the game with a friend and the friend's son. So much that the young aspiring football player, who's been away at football camp the past week, tries to stay calm by doing squats with a heavy typewriter during halftime. Will all the heavy lifting be for nothing?
