Denmark
national team
Denmark was the winners of
football at the Intercalated
Games
in 1906 and silver in the
Olympics of 1908 and 1912
Since 1983, the team has
continuously been visible as
a solidly
competitive side, with the
triumph in the 1992 European
Championships in Sweden as
its most prominent victory,
beating the European
champions from Netherlands
in the
semifinal, and the World
champions from Germany in
the final.
They also managed to win the
1995 Confederations Cup,
defeating Argentina in the
final. Their best FIFA World
Cup
result was achieved in 1998,
where they narrowly lost a
well
played quarter-final against
Brazil.
