Euro 2012: Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal Paired With Denmark Again

The draws for the qualification stages ahead of Euro 2012 were conducted on Sunday, February 7th 2010 and Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal fell in a five-team table.

Iceland, Norway, Cyprus, and Denmark again will be their opponents.

How tough will this group be for the 2004 European Championship runners-up?

During the 2010 World Cup qualifiers, Denmark shocked Portugal by defeating them 3-2 before drawing 1-1 with them in Copenhagen.

The Danes eventually topped Group A with Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal dramatically securing a play-off place.

However, looking at Portugal’s table in general, manager Carlos Queiroz declared:

“It is a good group for us. We’ll be playing teams that have a different style of football. This group will produce good performances and it will be exciting, and I think that we can qualify.

“We need to prepare well as always, but I think that in the end, we will reach the finals of the European Championship.”

From Group H where Portugal have been drawn, every Cristiano Ronaldo fan will like to see the Portuguese national team competing in Euro 2012. Is Denmark going to pose another serious threat?
