Denmark ready to turn party poopers against Australia
  + stars: | 2023-08-06 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
"We're going to have our own party if we succeed in ruining a party and that part is fine by me. Denmark go into the contest after finishing second in Group D behind England with two wins and a defeat, the same record as Australia, who topped their group. Having made the last 16 at a World Cup for the first time since 1995, Sondergaard said he is leaving no stone unturned to continue their run. Australia captain Sam Kerr missed the team's three group stage games due to injury but should be fit for the Denmark clash. Sondergaard said Australia had shown they were just as good without their talisman, though.

Australia's place in the tournament was on the line in their final group game against Olympic champions Canada, and they stepped up to win 4-0 and top Group B. Caitlin Foord said Australia will need that same intensity against Denmark. "That (Canada) game was do or die for us and this is the exact same," Foord said. "We need to bring everything that we brought to the Canada game to put us in the best spot to get the result we need to move forward." Australia have played Denmark twice since coach Tony Gustavsson took charge, losing 3-2 in 2021 and winning 3-1 last year. "We're going to have our own party if we succeed in ruining a party, and that part is fine by me," Denmark coach Lars Sondergaard said.

"It's a long time since we came here, first of all to qualify for a World Cup but now we're also playing the round of 16," the 30-year-old told reporters. "It's big for us and that's why I'm so proud of the whole team but, of course, we're hungry for more." It was a sentiment shared by Harder, a former team mate of Kerr's at Chelsea. The Danes can take heart from the impeccable form of their own captain, who earned her maiden World Cup goal with a 21st minute penalty against Haiti. Denmark forward Signe Bruun fouled Haiti goalkeeper Kerly Theus' outside the box and amidst the chaos substitute Mille Gejl's cross from the right was guided home by Harder.
