Why is Denmark so underrated?
471279
Denmark is quite small, all I know about it is Hans Christian Andersen lived there and the produce bacon and fish.\nThe flag isn't really cool either, but you gotta also think, why are the other Scandinavian countries under-rated cos you don't hear much on them either, or Luxembourg.\n\n\nOh I see, well there was quite a bit about it on the news, but it's only a cartoon and the people the Danes offended are over it now.

Last year was a world cup of upsets, most of the teams went out early so some of the smaller nations capitalized, Turkey was one such. They overachieved last time around. They didnt even make it to Euro 2004 , then also they were in the toughest qulifying group with Greece, Denmark & Ukraine. Also some of the instrumental players like Hakan Sukur have retired.

I don't know where you got THAT piece of inof, since Brazil is widely called the best. Germany, England and Spain are pretty good too, but America just doesn't figure in there.

Denmark don't have a king now.\nThe Danish Monarch Chief of state is Queen MARGRETHE II (since 14 January 1972) her husband Prince of Consort  Henri de Laborde de Monpezat has a French Diplomat.\nQueen Margrethe II son Price Frederik Andre has a crown prince.

You are quite right. Denmark is indeed one of the best examples for true freedom, democracy and a positive community. Long may it last!\n\nMany Americans do indeed believe that they are the most free and liberal nation on the planet, but they believe a lot of other strange and incorrect things as well. And since only 18% of the US population ever travel abroad, the majority has never any chance to compare their own situation with that elsewhere. It is rather sad.\nYou are also right to assume that the roots for this goes back to the rigid Puritan values on which the USA were founded. Strict protestant bigotry, freemasonry, greed and violence are the four traditional pillars of American society. In recent times Puritan influence, which was predominantly pacifist and isolationist, has been replaced by militant fundamentalist Bible-bashers who are in contrast aggressive by nature and very active warmongers.\nThey have hijacked the White House and meanwhile taken over most of the USA, and in the process reduced the freedom of the ordinary people even further. If things continue as they are now, the USA will be one huge concentration camp, controlled by a small group of dangerous fanatics.\n\nI am so glad to live in Europe, where there are proper laws, a democratic system and plenty of freedom.

Its because Germany has the best record in world cup for an european team. Champions 3 times ( '54, '74, '90 ) , Runners up 4 times ( '66,'82, '86, '02 ). Two times they have managed to beat teams who were far better than them Holland in 1974 & Hungary in '54. They are an excellent tournament side that is they reach their top form during the big games. that is why thet are always there.

I am here to tell you what country is definitely not on the best country list:\n\nThe USA\n\nThe first answerer who wrote, "USA. Freedom." really needs to expand; what do you mean by freedom?  Freedom is not self-evident.  And it doesn't exist just because George Bush says it does!\n\nIn America we have lost a lot,\n\nPrivacy,\n\nHabious Corpus,\n\nHonesty,\n\nRepresentation for and by the people (vote fraud),\n\nRespect for each other (sense of community),\n\nEquality,\n\nour freedom of speech is threatened,\n\nPublic property is being sold to corporations,\n\nthe list goes on and on.\n\nThe best country in the world?  Well it depends on who you are and what you want.  Me?  I think a Scandinavian country is the way to go; excellent economy, excellent social services (e.g. public health care, etc.), and they are big in alternative energy (even though Norway is one of the biggest oil producing country's in the world, they invest heavily in alternative energy).  Lets go be Vikings!  The only down side is the weather!

USA, because of oil in alaska and warfare.\nCanada, low population and high level of education.\nDenmark, (territorically) because it has the jurisdiction over the world's largest natural park - which is Greenland!

He's certainly one of the most over-looked linebackers in the NFL, because he's a Titan.  I won't say he's the most under-rated, but it's close.\n\nFor more on the Titans and the NFL, check this site out.  http://factipedia.com/sportsblogs/

People don't love their countries because they're the best, the love them because that's where they feel at home.  People like to say that their country is the best, but this is just an emotional expression of their patriotism, and not based on fact.\n\nComparing countries is like comparing apples and oranges, many of them are rotten, but most are good in their own way.

Very popular!\nWhen England play the whole country comes to a stand still. The cross of St George is out every where around the country and every one is glued to the telly!\nUs Brits come from a country where we have few things to get excited about in respect of national holidays and such, so we look at our footie as a great thing to get really into and excited about!\nOh and as for Becks, people have all different opinions on him, but lets just say there's no way l'd kick him out of bed!!!!!!

Getting back at them over the cartoons aren't we now...\nThe Danish people are peaceful and very intelligent. These cartoons ought to be water under the bridge...\nJust having a little joke there...

Favorites like Germany, ENgland, Netherland, Italy, Chek Rep., Croatia. France,Spain and Portugal will have a chance with  Switzerland and too. Less posibilities to Poland Sweden, Serbia and Ukraine

First no matter how nasty or offense the cartoons are to you -- THEY ARE JUST CARTOONS!\n\nSecond, the cartoons were printed previously - IN EGYPT - and there were no anti-Egyptian riots.\n\nThird, Denmark is a nice little democracy and its citizens can handle the voting there just nicely.\n\nFourth, if you want to vote in Denmark then by rights Danes should be able to vote or influence your favorite country. Somehow I doubt you'd want that.

Well, right in this moment there are some matches left of the first pack of them. For a concrete answer we will have to wait for this matches to pass, but in the meantime, i think Sweden, who was unable to score against Trinidad and Tobago. Because the question here is Sweden was really that bad or Trinidad and Tobago really make progress. I incline for the first one.\n\nAbout England, I see that Paraguay is really underated, remember they get a place to the World Cup in Conmebol one of the hardest zones to qualified to the World Cup.  I expect more of England and of Paraguay in next games.\n\nNow considering FIFA World Ranking Mexico and United States are n't in the place they deserve, they should be under many teams. But still they can do great things, still not with great performances, just doing the necesary. Still USA has to play his match and then we will see if this team was the most overated.

The Fifa rankings are trash, they are only determined by how many games a country plays, not by their skill. For example if the system restarted; if the US played Latvia and Morocco and beat them each 6-0 and Brazil played Holland and the Czech Republic and tied holland and beat the Czech republic it doesnt matter that Brazil played better teams, the US would still be ranked number 1 in the world. \n\nThe Czech have a very solid player in every part of the field. The have a solid attack and such a fantastic goalie (petr Cech) that I would not be suprised if the had many clean sheets.\n\nI give them a 35% odd if reaching the finals.
