Azerbaijan's Sportswashing Culminates With Euro 2020 Quarterfinal

In 1998, Denmark and the Laudrup brothers almost eliminated Brazil from the World Cup in a stupendous quarter-final as Rivaldo's wizardry ultimately prevailed. This Saturday, the Danish will play the Czech Republic in their biggest match, with a place in the last four of Euro 2020 at stake, reminiscent of that glorious afternoon in Nantes. However the backdrop will be very different. No curvy shapes of the Stade de la Beaujoire, but instead an Olympic Stadium with a running track in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan.
