Denmark is the scrappy, likeable overachiever who always competes harder than expected. Eriksen's story alone makes them worth cheering for. Organised, physical, and capable of beating anyone on a good day.

Denmark won the 1992 European Championship in one of sport's greatest upsets — they weren't even supposed to be in the tournament and qualified 11 days before it started.
Christian Eriksen collapsed on the field from cardiac arrest during Euro 2020 and was resuscitated by medical staff. He returned to professional soccer 6 months later — one of sport's most remarkable comebacks.
Denmark is nicknamed "Danish Dynamite" for their explosive attacking style. Their fanbase — the Roligans — are considered the most good-natured supporters in international soccer.
