doesn't look too bad a team, defence looks solid. bendtner looks class every now and again, but looks like a white heskey too often. Fair bit of pace down the wings, and strong defensive mids. Not go an easy group mind. Cameroon have been poor recently, but don't have a bad team, so that game could go either way. I'd expect you to lose to holland, and Japan are crap.

yeah, Japan are crap appearently. I had the pleasure of watching Honda from CSKA moskva a few times - he's a very good player, but he doesn't seem to do the trick for them :)

We rely A LOT on Christian Poulsen this year. He's got a lot of responsibility.

of course we could use some improvements, but we've got good players in all lines. It's the best team we've had since 98, imo.

Prior to all the Injuries and benchings, I would have agreed with you.
But now ? Not so much... :s

Oh my fucking GOD. I will love you forever if that catches on. I will collapse in fits of laughter if I hear that chanted during Arsenal games....

but Kalou is just an African Emile Heskey, so it all makes sense.

So,
I've been skipping around on the variouse football sites,
and I gotta admit, peoples lack of knowlage of the danish side is scary.
I mean the majority or people actually belive that Holland & Camaroun are
destined for a walkover of the the danish side....


they might want to put in a phone call to Sweden and Portugal before
walking onto the pitch....but hey, by all means, under estimate Denmark...
history deams that a good idea

Trust me the Dutch don't under estimate the Danish team.

Fuck me, has everyone seen the Holland v Mexico highlights yet? Awesome goals from Van Persie, Arsenal fans must have had a quiet little cry at what they missed out on for half this season. Nice to see the new Utd signing get a goal too :)

shh, just let us be the underdogs :) We've been good in that role before.

On another note, Japan wants to end in top 4 according to their trainer :D

Ye - I'm not that dumb ;p

Anyways, Kjær is not definately out of it, Olsen hasn't even included a replacement, so might not be that bad after all!

Anyway, Krøldrup has been consistent for Fiorentina throughout the season, despite his bad national matches I do not think he is the worst back up to have :)

Scanning showed it wasnt a Cruciate ligament injury, as they thought..
so seems kjær will be fine after all..phew ;)

Some suprising cuts from the team though imo...
especially Silberbauer and Krohn-Dehli...

Just stuck a couple of quid on each of these to get top goalscorer: Alberto Gilardino, Thierry Henry, Milan Jovanovic, Theofanis Gekas, Peter Crouch :D They will all be regulars for their teams (maybe not crouch, i just like the guy) and only need to bang in a few against the shit sides to be in with a chance. 5 or 6 goals usually gets the golden boot doesn't it?

They are all underdogs, thats why i've backed them. Gekas for example, top european golascorer in qualifying @380/1. Was worth a couple of quid imo :p Makes the tournament more interesting as well when you can look out for the lesser teams with some genuine interest.

I know.. :)

but I can promise you, milan jovanovic will NOT score often.. he's been out of form for quite some time.. and primarely plays on the wing :)

I like Forlan at 75/1 and Bendnter at 141/1

Looking at the opponents in their groups there should be possibilities

Going on qualification, Forlan at 75/1 does look good. Scored 2 less than Fabiano (7 goals) but is in a much much easier group than brazil.
