Now referered to as "The most hated man in Denmark".
It is then perhaps somewhat fortuitous that he moved to Gothenburg some years back, where he now works as a customer service manager at an IT company.
After a day spent drinking "15 to 20 beers", the supporter ran onto the pitch and landed a blow on the referee's neck
Afer Denmark and pulled back from 3-0 down to 3-3.
Sweden is likely to be awarded all three points, as recommended by the referee, when governing body UEFA meets on Wednesday to discuss Saturday's incident.

UEFA cannot award 3 points based on the actions of one drunk fan

But I guess they can do it for other reasons, eg violence between the players..... but would open up a real can of worms IMO. I'd go for a replay "guichet fermé" (behind closed doors?). But only if the final score of the game is critical.

Next year I'm going dress up in a Liverpool replica and dive out of the kop to attack the ref.
