World Cup 2018: France and Denmark spark ‘fix’ claims on social media after first 0-0 draw of the tournament
Both teams are booed throughout by their own fans as dreary stalemate guarantees they qualify for the last 16
FRANCE and Denmark sparked "fix" claims on social media after both teams were booed by their own fans throughout the first 0-0 draw of the World Cup.
A dreary stalemate guaranteed the European rivals would reach the last 16, despite Peru beating Australia 2-0 in today's other Group C match.
And accusations of a stitch-up poured onto social media long before the final whistle.
One fan, calling himself BayernBoy77, tweeted: "It's fixed. Every time one team attacks they try something stupid so it won't go in.. So obviously fixed for a draw."
Another supporter, World Cup Jamie, said: "You'll never catch the fix. Imagine the hearing.."
BBC pundit Dion Dublin, the former England striker, labelled it the worst game of the tournament.
The ex-Manchester United star told Radio 5 live: "I would've thought this has been the World Cup's poorest game by far.
"We haven't seen [Denmark keeper Kaskper] Schmeichel make a diving save all afternoon."
Armchair critics on Twitter branded the goalless and soul-less clash as "horrendous" and "blatantly" arranged.
And one tweeted: "If you paid to watch Denmark vs France in Russia I feel so sorry for you."
