No. 24 Denmark

FIFA Ranking- 35

Group E

Denmark is kind of a mystery to me I don't think they are that good, but they topped their group in qualifying and Portugal was in that group. So I had trouble placing them in my rankings, but I went with my gut and had them a little lower. I feel they don't have the attacking power to compete, and while their defense may help some I don't see them strong enough or young enough to deal with the quicker and stronger teams in their group.  And with their number one striking option Nicklas Bendtner, who can get hot, can also go missing and make little impact for the 90 minutes.  They should get at least one win with Japan in their group but I don't see them knocking off the Netherlands or Cameroon.
