As I said with Cameroon, I didn't see the Cameroon-Denmark match so I'm not sure what to make of the Danes. Apparently they won that one 2-1 but from what I saw vs. Netherlands and today vs. Japan, I wasn't impressed.
Denmark
Best Moment: Dennis Rommedahl's sweet goal against Cameroon which turned out to be the game-winner.
Worst Moment: No-showing in a winner take all match. All they had to do was beat Japan today and they'd move on to the group stage but they got rolled by Honda and the Japanese.
Best Result: 2-1 win over Cameroon. After watching the video highlights of this, it's hard to believe how many defensive miscues there were on both sides but the Danes get credit for two great goals: by Rommedahl and Nicklas Bendtner.
Worst Result: I've gone on and on about the Japan game so I'll say the 2-0 loss to Holland in their first match. That set the tone for an underwhelming tournament by the Danes.
Final Tally: 1 win, 2 losses. 3 goals scored, 6 goals conceded.
Best Player: Rommedahl had a goal and an assist so I'll go with him, not many other candidates.
Worst Player: The Danish defense simply for the gift they gave to Eto'o and the other chances they gift-wrapped to Cameroon that they couldn't convert.
