Denmark Vs. Norway: Full Time, Nicklas Bendtner Gets Denmark Back Into Qualifying Picture

Nicklas Bendtner scored a brace and guided a team to a huge victory in a must-win game. I just checked my ‘Life Drinking Game’ poster and that event is labeled ‘Finish your drink.’ Denmark are now tied with both Norway and Portugal in Euro 2012 qualifying after defeating Norway 2-0 on Tuesday night. The second half of the game was rather uneventful, but that’s just because Denmark is great at keeping their shape and defending when they have to. After Bendtner made it 2-0 in the first half, all they had to do was sit back.

Norway came to defend and when they had to chase the game, they had little response. Group H is suddenly extremely interesting, with three quality teams all having a great chance to advance. One of Denmark, Norway and Portugal will miss out on Euro 2012, and based on current form, the odd team out appears like it’s going to be Norway.
