How they qualified: Finished 1st in European Qualifying Group H

Team Base: Kolobrzeg

A tricky side to deal with, Denmark do have an outside chance of making their way out of the group of death and into the Euro 2012 quarterfinals.

There may not be enough magic in the air for the Euro 92 winners to pull off another shock and win the tournament, but this is a Danish side that finished above Portugal in the qualifying stages and handed them a 2-1 defeat in the groups final game.

They also came close to defeating Holland in their opening game of the 2010 World Cup and Morten Olsen is so encouraged by the new talent in the squad that he’s signed on to be the national team’s head coach until 2014.

Thomas Sorensen’s absence in goal due to injury will cause a problem but Manchester United backup Anders Lindeguard will provide more then ample cover for the Stoke keeper while Liverpool’s Daniel Agger will look to anchor an experienced back-four.

Going forward Nikolas Bendtner will be looking to continue his international form that always seems to elude him at club level, while Ajax’s exciting young prospect Christian Eriksen will be using this tournament to prove himself against the continents best and catch the eye of Europe’s elite.

Don’t count them out, a win against Portugal and a draw against Germany will see the Danish sitting pretty for a spot in the knockout round.
