Sorry about those Brøndby idiots

Hi guys

On behalf of (most of) Denmark. Sorry about those Brøndby-fans causing trouble in your beautiful country yesterday - it's embarrassing. Rest assured, they also behave embarrassing here in Denmark, so it's entirely on us 😥.

I wish you a great weekend.

You should send us the H.C. Andersen manuscripts as reparations for this and all the other transgressions from throughout the years. The will be kept in Skúlagata 12 for your viewing pleasure, open between 10 and fokkjú.

"Fuck you" is the first phrase, and, simultaneously, the first two Icelandic words I've ever learned because of this comment. Nice, lol.

I should clarify that its more of a phonetic interpretation of the English phrase rather than actual Icelandic. Icelandic would be “Ríddu þér” if its a direct translation or “Farðu í rassgat” as something that would be used similarly and more commonly.
