Denmark is under tremendous pressure at all to go on to mellemrunden at the WORLD cup. All hope is however far from out, and we provide including an overview of the Danish opportunities.
Let us first turn the group’s current situation the way:
Germany and south Korea are already ready to mellemrunden. France and Denmark are both listed for the three points, while Brazil has one. Australia scrape the bottom and has outlived its role.
This means that Denmark in any case must have more than one point to go on. Here are the following scenarios as seen from a Danish perspective:
Denmark wins against Brazil and France
So Denmark is definitely on the WORLD cup.
Denmark wins against Brazil, but lose to France
So is Denmark finished at the WORLD cup, when France, as a minimum, will end on the same number of points with Denmark. Here the rule applies on the showdown, and here, France will then be better themselves. And when south Korea has beaten Australia, Denmark may not overtake them.
Denmark lose to Brazil, but wins over France
Then comes the much depends on the other results in the group.
Brazil will end at the five points, as we strongly expect that the beats Australia. Denmark ends up at five points. And that France may in principle also end up with, if they beats Germany on Wednesday.
In this case, we have abacus back and have counted the goal difference between Denmark, Brazil and France.
If France, by contrast, loses to Germany, and Denmark, already have lost to Brazil, is a victory against France is not enough. Denmark would then be equal on points with Brazil. But also here applies the rule on the showdown, where Brazil will be the best.
The pending results
Pending the results against Brazil and France, plus one win over one of the two may also prove to be enough for Denmark.
If France lose to Germany and Denmark get a draw against Brazil, so will a win against France on Friday to send Klavs Bruun’s troops on.
If Denmark wins over Brazil and France lose to Germany, is one point against France also enough to send håndboldkvinderne on.
the Possibility are many. However, we know much more about Denmark’s WORLD cup-opportunities in the course of Wednesday.
