Denmark couldn't attend the previous World Cup Brasil. The last time they attended was the 2010 World Cup South Africa.
At that time, I took notice of one talented Danish defender, Simon Kjaer.
He was still 21 years old.
Here is my article about him on my old blog.

I also saw the Denmark team at the EURO 2012.

Then, he came back to the World Cup becoming Denmark's captain!

Actually I first didn't recognize him as Kjaer. No wonder. The last time, he was 21-year-old very young guy.
Although Denmark advanced to the Knockout Stage, they were defeated by Croatia.
It was a very good game, 1 - 1, on PK 3 - 4.
The defense of Denmark is great and Kjaer is the pillar of that. And, the greatest thing of their solid defense is its goalkeeper, Kasper Schmeichel.

I was very surprised to hear that his father, Peter Schmeichel was one of the best Goalkeepers of the 20th century and he was also playing in the Denmark national team!
