Without actually haven seen Croatia play and only seen snippets of Tonga play, I would still rank Tonga slightly higher. Maybe just below Sweden or Peace Team. Im biased, but I still dont see Denmark being any worse than Samoa and Japan...In hindsight , the IC draw/ranking was simply unfavorable to the Danes.

Denmark also had a terrible time getting to the IC08 too apparently. I think I'd heard a tiny bit about that but in all the IC08 flurry I didn't hear any more. But I was talking to Philip Porublev during the week and he was telling me that Denmark were due to fly via Hong Kong and bad weather prevented the flight so they were stuck in London for several days and had to find alternative flights, only arriving perhaps the day before their first game. Certainly not good preparation.

Credit to them though, they obviously didn't use it as an excuse, I didn't hear it anyway. And they did seem to improve as the tournament went on.
