Guest n4e Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Well, I still wonder why Kasper Schmeichel pissed his career going there too. 5 year deal potential wage increase ? Dad of Peter, he could easily go back to Denmark tomorrow and stand a chance of being in the national side. That was probably enough of a deterrent for him. Do you know where Denmark are in their qualifier group? I'll let you go and check before making silly statements. I was actually thinking of Norway, who are pretty much as bad a team as Scotland are. Anyway, Denmark will be nothing more than Cannon fodder for the big teams in the world cup so the qualifying shouldn't make too much of a differance. What's your basis for this sorry? Nothing other than i can't see them beating one of the favourites in a big match on the biggest stage. Other than Larsen who would trouble a top defence at the world cup ? Even with a back line of Dan Agger and Simon Kjaer? Who looks one of Europe's brightest defensive prospects. Put them behind the experience of Tommy Sorensen, you then have a midfield of Christian Poulsen and Thomas Kahlenberg, Bendtner, Tomasson, Larsen, Rommedahl and Daniel Jensen. They have more than enough potential to shock on the worlds stage. Rommedahl. Howay man, he's a danish Alan O'Brien. anyway we'll see in the summer how well they do, i'd be surprised to see them get past the group stages.

Delima Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Lescott will go down the route of Rio Ferdinand now and basically never get the credit he deserves. He'll never live up to price tag because he doesn't have a flashy method of defending and will likely turn into the man at the back who does his job while the superstars win the game. I'd probably put a decent amount of money on him starting for England in 2012 though. Really cant decide if he'll replace Terry or Ferdinand like Lescott is an absolute class act. Man City have overpaid but compared to £25m for Adebayorwife, £32m for Robinho and £16m for Toure this represents not quite horrific business. He's probably the difference between 5th and 4th You speak sense Ronaldo. Lescott is very underrated Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they get no respect even when they achieve shit, and you have the likes of Holland who internationally have done sweet fuck all but play "Nice football" in the 70's yet they are still considered a world powerhouse. It's like saying Newcastle are a world powerhouse despite never winning the premier league or even the FA Cup in like 60 years, its daft. They also get sorely undervalued in the transfer market, has Sneijder, Robben or even VDV done anything to justify their massive transfer fees ? No, if Agger was Dutch he'd have gone for 15m at least, not the 5m pool paid. Rommedhal was in the CL consistently and despite some horrific injuries Gronkjaer played intermittently. Tomasson for all his shit with us was pretty lethal for all his other clubs, when actually given a chance like he was at milan were he was a 1 in 3 striker mixed in with a good whack of sub appearances. The recently retired Laursen would have been massive for Denmark next year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The recently retired Laursen would have been massive for Denmark next year. The Dutch are considered a world powerhouse due to their history of producing free-flowing attacking football. Don't get me wrong Denmark have produced some brilliant players over the years, Schmeichel being far the best goal keeper I have ever seen. I would also rank Michael Laudrup as one of the greatest players of all time, his vision was something to laud over time and time again. He was absolutely brilliant. But the likes of Rommedhal and Gronkjaer were never any great shakes even when both at PSV and Chelsea. Most I know also rate Tommason and all agree it just wasn't the right time for him here with Shearer getting injured, Asprilla and Ferdinand also getting sold. Which meant he had to shoulder far too much of the burden of responsibility and playing too advanced. If Shearer had never got injured I think he would have made it for us. Plus I don't think it's something you need to be overreacting about like you are. I think most people rate Danish footballers like any other, if they are of sufficient quality people will always rate them. It doesn't matter what their nationality is. I'm sure if you ask anyone who saw the likes of Simonsen, the Laudrup Brothers and Schmeichel play they will all tell you how good they were. Just the likes of Rommedhal and Gronkjaer are not on the same radar as those. Yet the Dutch since the 70's have produced players of that quality consistently time and time again, which is another reason as to why they are called a powerhouse of world football.

gazza ladra Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 The Dutch are considered a world powerhouse due to their history of producing free-flowing attacking football. And they turn out a lot of top notch footballers for such a small country. The population of Denmark is about a third that of the Netherlands. Portugal is smaller than the Netherlands (about 2/3 the size) and has arguably produced a more impressive set of players. Let's start with Eusébio, C. Ronaldo and Figo Still, I think the Dutch reputation has more to do with playing in back-to-back World Cup finals. Finals they arguably should have won. Like the Hungarians in 54. (I'm not old enough to remember this-- but I been told this in practically every history I've read) When you have the best team in the world, even if it is only for a decade, that means something. And that reputation follows you for quite a while until that aura is beaten out of you (cf. Hungary, Scotland). And no, I don't think Denmark were the best in the world when they were European champions--- any more than I think Greece were when they won it a few years back. Contrary to what Kezman wrote, I think Denmark gets a lot of respect. And they deserve it; it's really remarkable how often they manage to work their way into the finals of major tournaments.
