What odds are Denmark to win the World Cup?
100/1
Who's the coach?
Age Hareide, direct football disciple, played for Manchester City and Norwich in the 1980s, had five years managing his native Norway and took over in 2015.
Who's the star?
Christian Eriksen - sometimes taken for granted in England but an £80m-calibre world-class midfield talent, with consummate skill and vision.
Best thing about them
Strong lower spine and a refreshingly vigorous approach that aims to exploit Eriksen’s eye for a pass and a cute finish.
Worst thing about them
They lack an international class centre-forward - the chosen ones will work their socks off but leave too much responsibility on Eriksen.
You may recognise…
In the absence of Lord Bendtner, back in the scoring groove at long last at Rosenborg, but injured, forever gauche and likely to make a twit of himself now and then, you can turn your eyes to Kasper Schmeichel, Premier league champion goalkeeper and scion of a shouty goalkeeping dynasty.
Cameramen will be picking out...
Hordes clad in horned Viking hats with blonde-plaited pigtail attachments and full-face flags.

On-field prediction
Close in every game but struggle to find the goals to get them into the knockout stage.
Off-field prediction
Friends to all, apart from the Swedish, quaint and engagingly exuberant.
