France became the first team to qualify for the knockout stages of the World Cup beating a spirited Demark side by 2-1. Kylian Mbappe scored both goals for the defending Champions at the Stadium 974 on Saturday evening. Les Blues hardly dominated against their European counterparts but are peaking at the right time despite their […]

Andreas Cornelius lay on the ground in utter disbelief. The FC Copenhagen striker has a lot of experience with scoring; with his previous club, Trabzonspor, he scored 15 times in 37 appearances. So, as a deflected ball floated right in front of him, with no goalkeeper to beat, and only a shocked Tunisia defender to […]

Denmark put together an eye-catching run to the semifinal of Euro 2020. Then, it followed that up with an impressive display in the UEFA Nations League. Now, Denmark looks to achieve another long and fruitful campaign at the 2022 World Cup. Four years ago, Denmark narrowly lost out to the eventual runner-up Croatia in the […]

Denmark has had a request denied to wear specific training shirts during the World Cup supporting human rights. The shirts would have featured the phrase 'Menskeregetteigs for alle,' which translates to 'Human Rights for All' in English. Ultimately, FIFA claimed it denied the team's request because of specific rules. Denmark's team director, Jakob Jensen, confirmed […]

The modern era of supremacy is at risk of changing due to the parity rife at World Cup 2022. Over the last twelve years, European powerhouses slowly established domination on the international stage. Of the last five World Cup finals played, eight out of 10 finalists were European teams. The other two are South American, […]

Denmark is the most common underdog pick at World Cup 2022. With the success of Croatia reaching the Final in 2018, the feeling among the Denmark camp evolves from wishful thinking to realism. Ironically, Croatia eliminated Denmark in the round of 16 in Russia. The eventual runner-up overturned Denmark's early advantage after a defensive mishap […]

It is anybody's guess who will win the 2022 World Cup in Qatar come November and December. There are, of course, favorites to win the tournament. Out of Europe, France, Germany and England are always among the favorites. Also, Spain and Portugal always have strong sides. Cristiano Ronaldo is playing in perhaps his last World […]

Through some fortuitous timing on my part, and the benevolence of my wonderful wife, I was able to spend a large part of our recent honeymoon in South Africa…for the 2010 World Cup!  Since arriving back Stateside, I’ve attempted to settle back into a life devoid of 24/7 football and the sweet hum of the […]

Jan Molby is a player that I have a lot of time for. The Danish footballer was a maestro in midfield. While he's best remembered as being a pivotal player for Liverpool during his time there between 1984 and 1996, he has a special place in my heart for being a pioneer with the club […]

With Portugal on the verge of non-qualification for the World Cup in 2010, manager Carlos Queiroz is under extreme pressure and has the very real possibility of unemployment looming over him. Given this threat, and inevitability that this will occur, I ask you… How long before we see the Portuguese back in the Manchester United […]
