 Velkommen, huttlihut and hello to the Denmark thread for the world cup 2022. The Danish national team is coming off a quite eventful Euros 2020, which saw their key figure Christian Eriksen have a heart attack on the pitch. Despite this horror event, they made to fight all the way up to the semis, where referee Danny Makkelie decided the fun was over and gave England one of their signature soft penalties. They'll be hoping to bounce back and try to get back up for the World Cup. Denmark have never gotten beyond the quarters, despite being one of the oldest football nations, and a former Euros winner (1992 ftw). In their last appearance in 2018, they were unlucky to draw the finalists Croatia, narrowly losing on penalties. Denmark are managed by Danish Manager Kasper Hjulmand. Hjulmand isn't very famous in worldwide football, but he's managed in the Danish league quite a few years, even managing to win the league once. Had a failed stint at Mainz once, but his record for Denmark so far, seems to have revived his reputation. Goalkeepers Kasper Schmeichel (OGC Nice) Oliver Christensen (Hertha BSC) Frederik Rønnow (Union Berlin) Denmark has always had a reputation for great goalkeepers with names like Lars Høgh, Thomas Sørensen and most famously Peter Schmeichel. His son Kasper is the current starter and has been for several years. He's been quite good for several years, but there are rumours he's become lazy and fat while in France. Defenders Simon Kjær (AC Milan) Andreas Christensen (FC Barcelona) Joachim Andersen (Crystal Palace) Victor Nelsson (Galatasaray) Joakim Mæhle (Atalanta) Jens Stryger Larsen (Trabzonspor) Rasmus Nissen Kristensen (Leeds United) Daniel Wass (Brøndby IF) Alexander Bah (Benfica) Most of these names will be recognizable with Simon Kjær being the captain who also won the Italian league last season with Milan. AC also played for Chelsea quite a few years, before deciding to sell his soul to the Barcelona levers. Those two are quite likely to be the most important defenders for the tournament, and will start most games. Midfielders Christian Eriksen (Manchester United) Pierre-Emile Højbjerg (Tottenham) Thomas Delaney (Sevilla) Mathias Jensen (Brentford) Christian Nørgaard (Brentford) Christian Eriksen makes his miraculous return to the National team, looking every bit the player he was before the incident. He'll be likely to start every game in midfield, with Højbjerg and Delaney defending behind him. Forwards Andreas Skov Olsen (Club Brügge) Martin Braithwaite (Espanyol) Jesper Lindstrøm (Eintracht Frankfurt) Mikkel Damsgaard (Brentford) Andreas Cornelius (FC København) Kasper Dolberg (Sevilla) Jonas Wind (Wolfsburg) Robert Skov (Hoffenheim) Yussuf Poulsen (RB Leipzig) Denmark have for a long time had issues at striker, never really finding the replacement for Bendtner (not that he was much to replace). This year they'll be counting on Corner, Wind and Dolberg to swap between the forward role, and hopefully find some goals. It will be exciting to see how the team develops on the wings. Poulsen and Braithwaite were for a long time the regular fixtures there, but they haven't been great in recent years, opening up possibilites for Lindstrøm, Damsinho (who scored a wonder FK goal against England), Skov Olsen and Robert Skov (who might also feature at wingback) The Group  Denmarks group is quite lol-worthy in that it is literally only team away from being the exact group they played in the World Cup 2018. Just replace Tunisia with Peru. (Denmark qualified from that group in second place) 22nd November, 14:00 GMT+1 Denmark vs Tunisia 26th November, 17:00 GMT+1 Denmark vs France 30th November, 16:00 GMT+1 Denmark vs Australia I expect Denmark to qualify from this group. Denmark have played against France twice this year already and won both their games. While I'm not as experienced with Tunisia and Australia, both of them have shitters from my local team so they can't be any good.

Can't wait for Hjulmand to start a aging Daniel Wass over the younger Alexander Bah and Rasmus Kristensen.

I gotta ask what Hjulmand sees in Rasmus Kristensen over Alexander Bah. Like sure Alexander Bah only plays regularly in the Champions League and Rasmus plays in and out in a lackluster Leeds side, But other than that? Jexner fucked around with this message at 19:33 on Nov 26, 2022 |

Maybe next time Hjulmann will pick a team where half isn't dead weight in their clubs. Ah well.

honestly, if you take expectations into account, Denmark was the worst team this entire tournament. Absolutely pathetic. hope Hjulmand can find himself a new team of players that actually play at club level.

Why is it every time the Danish team completely gently caress up tremendously, the Danish Football Union immediately goes "We stand behind the coach 100%"?
