Bendtner's underpants may well be the prevailing memory of Denmark's contribution to Euro 2012. A scandal is brewing after it was revealed UEFA fined the Danes more for a flash of knicker elastic than they did Croatia for their fans' racist chanting. Sort it out Waffer.
Will the Danes ever emulate 1992? Perhaps not until a nation is expelled and they're drafted in as last minute replacements. No shame on Danes of 2012, though. They beat the Dutch (who didn't?) and remain an interesting team to watch, especially for the pant-hungry ladies.

GROUP B FINALE: Germany 2-1 Denmark; Holland 1-2 Portugal
They've only gone and done it again.
Even being plopped in the sewer that was The Group Of Death couldn't stop perennial Group Stage qualifiers Germany and Portugal from, er, qualifying from the group stage.
I don't know what happened to Holland, and I'm sure Holland doesn't know what happened to Holland. Even in the game last night, they started well and looked like they would win it. But then, they just stopped, or at least stopped believing.
Only saw the goals from the Denmark/Germany match - this playing the last group games concurrently stuff is hard work for just two eyes.
So, the Germans, my tips to win this thing are through, that's the main thing. The fact that they're the only team out of the four who've qualified that I predicted would qualify is something I'd quite like to gloss over at this point, thank you very much.
HOW THEY FINISHED: 1: GERMANY 2: PORTUGAL 3: Denmark 4: Holland
A state of affairs that bears little resemblance to this shoddily predicted state of affairs.

Portugal 3-2 Denmark
She's innocent! Don't bring Ronaldo's misses into this. It's not her fault. Don't belittle what was the best of a great bunch of games we've had so far this tournament.
Had the Portuguese not won this, Ronaldo will have rued his misses (sorry to mention her again). A one-on-one with the keeper that he should have buried, and a couple of shots that went wayward. Not the Ronaldo we all know and l... know.
While a great fluffs his lines, a B-lister shows that maybe he has, after all, the skill to make it on the big stage, with a big club. Bendtner's double will have increased his value nicely for Mr Wenger, should he decide to trade-in after the tournament.
Whatever, this result has ensured the Group of Death will go down to the (garroting) wire. And not many neutrals will be complaining.

Holland 0-1 Denmark
Ah, the first bona fide shock of the tournament. World Cup finalists the Dutch come unstuck against the lowly fancied Danes.
The Dutch were all over them though, and but for woeful finishing/last-third play they would have won this. But the Danes played like I think England will need to play if they're going to get anywhere. Go one-up and defend defend defend defend, hope, pray, defend a bit more, bore the opposition into submission. Do a Greece 2004...
