The 2022 Qatar World Cup will be held on November 21 at 0:00 Beijing time in Doha, Qatar. There are still 20 days until the start of the event. Because the World Cup is the top tournament in the world, with a large number of spectators, there must be new fans who are not familiar with the participating teams, so let's move on to Group D Denmark for now.
The Danish men's national football team is a fast-rising national football team in the 1980s, known as the "red dynamite". The first major title was the 1992 European Cup in Sweden (beating Germany 2–0). Denmark has qualified for five World Cup finals. In 1986, 1998, 2002, 2010 and 2018, the best results were the top 8 of the 1998 World Cup in France, the round of 16 in South Korea and Japan in 2002 and the World Cup in Russia 2018 (second in the group, quarterfinals, 1-1 draw in 120 minutes, 2-3 Croatia on penalties, missing the quarterfinals).

Qualification situation and schedule
Denmark is currently ranked 10th in FIFA, and the last World Cup in Russia was also in the same group as Australia (Group C), and the two drew 1-1, and this meeting again may have a psychological advantage. The chances of qualifying second in the group are still very good.
