Morten Olsen insists nothing is impossible for Denmark when they come up against the Netherlands in their FIFA World Cup™ opener tomorrow, but concedes that a draw in Johannesburg will be a satisfactory outcome.
The two European countries launch their Group E campaigns at Soccer City knowing a win will go a long way towards aiding progress into the second round.
For the Danes, who have progressed to the knockout stage in all three previous appearances at the finals, the game cannot come quickly enough.
"While I've been coach, I think this is the longest training period we've had prior to a [url=http://www.pretzellady.com/old/initial.html]cheap wholesale jerseys[/url] major championship," Olsen explained.
"That's been good, but now the preparations are over and that's a good thing. The players want to get going, they want to get cracking with the real matches. We're ready and we are [url=http://www.nzweddingplanner.co.nz/media/28016/uBlogsyListarchive.html]cheap soccer jerseys[/url] proud to be representing our country at such a big event."
The Dutch, perennial under-achievers at global events, are again amongst the favourites for the crown in South Africa and Denmark will be expecting to compete for second place with Japan and Cameroon.

Asked about what a realistic outcome from the opening game would be, Olsen continued: "A good result would be a draw for us. Let me say that the Netherlands are the favourites [url=http://www.bcbiz.com/Copy%20of%20purity/privacy.htm]new football shirts[/url] tomorrow. They have good individual players that play at top international level.
"It's nice to be a [url=http://griffinmill.co.uk/special-offers/specialoffers.html]brazil 2014 world cup soccer jerseys[/url] favourite because if you're the favourite is because you assumed to be better than the other team but we are certainly ready to take them on."
Reflecting on his side's preparations for the match, Olsen said: "You have to be prepared for your opponent and that's how we have prepared. Any team has restrictions, limitations and weaknesses and obviously it's up to us to see if we can benefit from anything we can find in that department."
The coach also confirmed that Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner (groin) "cannot play" and revealed that Jon Dahl Tomasson and Daniel Jensen are injury doubts.
Midfielder Christian Poulsen feels the underdog status of Denmark will take the pressure completely off the players and allow them to play with more freedom.
He added: "We hope we can show how we play as a team and hopefully produce a positive surprise. It's kind of a bonus match, against one of the favourites of the World Cup, and we can only surprise. We're working to see if we can do that and if we have a very good day, then perhaps we can."
