Denmark qualified for the 2010 World Cup by finishing ahead of teams such as Portugal, Sweden and Hungary in their qualifying group, but the Danes are still only seen as underdogs at this summer's showpiece.
Striker Soren Larsen is confident that his side have what it takes to survive the group stage and has pointed out that Denmark are a side to be reckoned with this summer.
"Anything is possible. If we can pick up a point against both the Netherlands and Cameroon and beat Japan, then that would give us five points and I think that would be enough to see us through," said Larsen to fifa.com.
"It's our goal to make it past the group stage. We drew 1-1 in the Netherlands a year ago and I've no doubt that we can do the same again. We have a good side too.
"Our main strength is our team spirit. We keep things tight and try to get forward with plenty of passing down the flanks. It's very similar to the Netherlands really but not quite at the same level. We fight for one another, so if someone makes a mistake, we run the extra 100 metres to help them out.
"We had a lot of injuries to deal with during qualifying, but we still managed to grind out some good results. That shows the character of the squad, but we can play some decent football too. It's not going to be easy playing against us."
