18 June 2004 - Group C
Bulgaria (JTHK2004) V Denmark (Gedo)
Braga Municipal - Braga
Current points situation:
Team…pts……..G.D.
Italy…… .3………..3
Bugaria …1……….0
Sweden...1……..0
Denmark -0.... -3
As you can see each team has a chance of qualification, but Denmark suffering from an inferior goal different may prove to be a stumbling block should they finish level on points with either Sweden and Bulgaria. Italy are in the pole position, but all can change if results dont go their way today.
In a minute we shall be off to Portugal for Bulgaria V Denmark. But first a little analysis of the form of both teams. Denmark need to recover from their heavy defeat to Italy, and it will be interesting to see if they can come abck against a Bulgarian side who managed to score a glut of goals against Sweden in their opening game. They do however still look a defender shot at the back and will need to concentrate as they come up against super fast wingers Gronkjaer and Rommedahl, who is actually playing a free role behind the front two. Bulgaria's 3 goal hero against Sweden Jankovic is in the lineup but will tuck in behind the front three, hoping to probe forward and give the Danes something to worry about. Ok, let's have a look at the starting lineup
Bulgaria: (4-3-3) Zdravkov, Kirilov, Pazin, M. Petrov, Peev, S. Petrov( C ), M. Hristov, Jankovic, Berbatov, Dimitrov, Manchev.
Denmark (3-5-2) Sorensen, Koldrup, M. Laursen, Helveg, Jensen, Jorgensen, Gravesen, Gronkjaer, Rommedahl, Sand, Tommason( C )
Ok, now off to Portugal for the match.
