The truth's starting to emerge on this. Predictably, for all the talk on the night of Denmark players being happy to carry on as normal, it turns out they were actually given an ultimatum by UEFA to finish the match then or at noon the following day. Because most of them felt they were in for a sleepless night one way or another, they thought playing immediately was the lesser of two evils. They should have put their foot down and demanded a total rescheduling or abandonment, because it was utterly callous to demand that they continue in the circumstances. UEFA deserve a world of flak for this.
