To be fair, it was always VERY tight and the first two were amazing games of football.

So we're heading in to a Portugal-Denmark match again. This time I'm sure Portugal will want revenge, and the Danish team is performing so poorly that Portugal should have no problem getting it. The Danish captain, Christian Poulsen, already admits that the team would be more than happy with a draw.
😞
Originally posted by LundosMust win for Portugal, despite chaos having reigned in the Selecção of late. Queiroz is out and the air seems fresher, but Paulo Bento is a big unknown. Liedson and Veloso are out with injuries and there is this looming feeling that this could be another blank powder night for Portugal.

To be fair, why wouldn't Denmark be happy with an away draw at Portugal?
Originally posted by PalynkaMorten Olsen, the Danish coach, complained about Portugal being a great unknown at the moment. MO doesn't know what Portuguese team will play nor the overall strategy. As it is a must win game for Portugal, as you say, and given the normal Portuguese style of attacking all the time, I expect, we'll see a whirlwind of attacks against the Danish goal. I hope you guys shot blanks again.

According to the Danish team, they always enter to field and try and win the games. Now the captain already accepts a draw against a decimated Portuguese side. Then again he is right. But I still expect them to say they want to win.
To be fair, I would be happy with a draw at home against Portugal. As long as Denmark beats Norway in both matches, I'm happy.
