Poor England

England failed to pick up another three points against Denmark, as Gareth Southgate's men put on a poor display against the Scandinavians. English fans were left disappointed, but not only because of the 1-1 draw.

"Never seen a pitch crumble like this"

"Never seen a pitch crumble like this during a game," someone else agreed.

German bread

"I've had slices of bread that have been tougher than this pitch in Frankfurt," another fan was feeling hungry.

"Top marks to the groundsman"

"Top marks to the groundsman laying that pitch this morning," another one brought out his best sarcasm.

"Like a ploughed field"

"The pitch is awful, will look like a ploughed field after 90 minutes," someone looked into the future.

"Someone's going to get hurt!"

After which, the frustration continued, "This pitch is a disgrace though" and "the pitch is gonna get someone hurt here in the England game!"

Kyle Walker

That was almost the case when Kyle Walker nearly suffered an ankle injury as the pitch crumbled.

He was able to continue

Walker had to leave the pitch, but was able to continue playing.

Wembley

"A tournament pitch shouldn't be cutting up like this. Looks like the first surface at the new Wembley. Terrible," was the appropriate conclusion to a disappointing 90 minutes of football.
