The two players who arrived in Nice this summer were unable to qualify for the final stages of the competition.
Present in Qatar with their respective national teams, Aaron Ramsey (Wales) and Kasper Schmeichel (Denmark) saw their dreams of a world title shattered.
Defeated soundly by Iran 2-0 and then by their English rivals 3-0, the former Arsenal player and his teammates finished in last place in Group B with 1 point. Ramsey had the merit of directly contributing to this point, as he earned the penalty converted against the United States, the only goal scored by his country in this World Cup.
It’s a surprise to see Denmark with Kasper Schmeichel and Dolberg already eliminated at this stage of the competition. Considered formidable outsiders capable of upsetting the French team, the Danes also finished last in their group. Kasper Schmeichel saved his team multiple times, but the three goals (two against the French and one against Australia) he conceded spelled the end for the Vikings.
