WORLD CUP (4)

The countdown to the World Cup in Brazil next year is well underway, and one thing is already certain; it will be without Denmark. Needing to win a home game this evening against Armenia to have even a remote chance of qualifying, they conceded a goal after just 25 seconds, and eventually lost 0-4.

Given that Armenia had just been beaten by lowly Malta, this was a terrible result. Put simply, Denmark were awful in all aspects of the game. Morten Olsen's 13-year reign as manager looks like ending very soon.
