15. Denmark

Christan Erikson and company booked their tickets to the last 16 after playing out a goalless draw against France in their final fixture of the group stage. They finished second behind France in the group with two draws and one win. Although they will feel confident about their defensive strengths, their concerns are up front, in finishing the chances. They have conceded only one goal in their three group stage matches, with their goalkeeper Schmeichel claiming the show with 14 goals. He is currently second on the list of most saves at this tournament. They will try to keep the impressive defensive record to make a deep run into the tournament.

Denmark began their world cup campaign with a 1-0 win against Peru. They had to make 2 blocks and 6 saves in that game to keep the clean sheet. They were held to a 1-1 draw in their second match with Australia. They will face a spirited Croatia in their next encounter on the first of July.
