Finals
Group draw
Venues and quarters (blue / italic) of the Danes |
For the draw of the qualifying groups on December 1st, the Danes were assigned to pot 3 and could therefore be drawn into a group with defending champions Germany, record world champions Brazil, vice world champions Argentina or host Russia. Denmark meets ex-world champions France , Asian champions Australia and Peru in Group C , which were the last to qualify. Before the World Cup, Denmark played 15 times against France, including twice in the preliminary rounds of the 1998 World Cups (1: 2) and 2002 (2: 0). In addition, both met three times in the EM preliminary rounds (1984/0: 1, 1992/2: 1 and 2000/0: 3). Overall, the record with five wins, one draw and eight defeats is negative, but the goal difference due to the 17: 1 (highest victory of a European team) at the 1908 Olympic Games is positive. Against Australia there were only friendlies with two wins and one loss. The Danes had never played against Peru.
Except in Moscow against the Soviet Union, the Danes had not previously played in any of the preliminary round venues.
