Manager: Morten Olsen (DEN)

Championship Honors: 1992 European champions; 1995 Confederations Cup champions

Key Players: Ebbe Sand (F, Schalke 04), Jon Dahl Tomasson (M, Feyenoord)

Fast Facts: A surprise team in 1998, they advanced to the quarterfinals (where they lost to Brazil).... Were led in qualifying by Ebbe Sand's nine goals, which was the second-best total in Europe (behind Andriy Shevchenko of Ukraine).... Went undefeated in 10 qualifying matches to win a tough group that included the Czech Republic and Bulgaria.... Their campaign was made all the more special as the team adjusts to the international retirements of Peter Schmeichel and the Laudrup brothers.
