Croatia 1-1 Denmark: 5 Talking Points as Croatia win 3-2 on penalties, World Cup 2018

#4 Denmark can bow out with their heads held high

Denmark almost pulled off the improbable

Denmark shocked everyone after they took the lead early on and it almost felt like the World Cup was going to give us yet another underdog story, well just for about 1 minute and 52 seconds at least. The Danes were unlucky to concede a goal in that fashion and from there on it was always going to be an uphill task for Age Hareide's men.

Their approach worked out pretty well considering the fact that the game went down to the fifth penalty kick in the shootout to decide the winner of the contest and they certainly had their moments during this particular game and throughout the tournament in general.

From Christian Eriksen's moments of magic en route to qualification to frustrating two European powerhouses in the form of France and Croatia in the tournament, it is safe to say that Denmark weren't here to merely make up the numbers.
