Full-string Denmark have learned a valuable lesson

RUSTENBURG - Denmark coach Morten Olsen is hoping for some traditional 'Danish dynamite' from his team's attack in Thursday's decisive Group E clash with Japan.

Olsen, who captained Denmark when they made their impressive 'dynamic' debut at the World Cup finals in 1986, acknowledged Japan are well-organized and difficult opponents but said his side will treat the game as if it was a final.

"It is a decisive game, hopefully the first final for us," said the 60-year-old. "We know what we have to do - that is the name of the game. We just have to be confident."
