Denmark 2010 World Cup Team

Denmark Football Team Profile & Form

The Denmark football team impressed during qualifying by finishing at the top of a tough UEFA qualifying group that included Portugal, Sweden and Hungary. The Danish team used an intelligent strategy, marking weaker teams for big victories and grinding out draws or low-scoring wins against the stronger teams in its group.

What may concern fans of the Denmark team is its relative lack of success against teams from outside Europe. The Danish team lost to Chile during the qualifying period, and questions linger over the team’s ability to take on sides with a more flamboyant, unstructured approach to play. Concern also surrounds the team’s loss of momentum towards the end of qualifying, with Denmark securing just 2 wins in its last 5 qualifying matches.
