Proud danes lament their early Euro 2012 exit

Denmark coach Morten Olsen insisted he was far from disappointed with his team's performance despite its early exit from Euro 2012 in the wake of their 2-1 defeat to Germany.

After Portugal's 2-1 win over Holland in Kharkiv, another three points at Arena Lviv confirmed Germany as Group B winner with Portugal as runner-up from the so-called "Group of Death" while the Dutch and Danes go out.

Despite getting off to a flying start at Euro 2012 with a shock 1-0 win over Holland in their opening match, Danish hopes of progressing to the knock-out phase foundered on defeats to Portugal last Wednesday and now Germany.
