Sweden travelled to Denmark for what should have been an easy victory for Denmark in the lead up to this years International Cup. This game has been played in Denmark for a number of years now but is relatively new in Sweden. However from the first bounce it looked as if the Swedes had been playing the game all their life (half the team was Aussies) as they jumped out to a massive 45 point lead at quarter time. Denmark then fought back hard in the second quarter outscoring the Swedes by 4 goals to go in at half time trailing by 21 points. Denmark then cut the margin down to 11 points at 3 quarter time and looked as if they may ran away with it, but for the first time in the history of International football the match ended in a draw Denmark 15.8.(98) to Sweden 14.14.(98). Although the Swedes did let a massive lead slip they should be proud of their effort against an established nation. As for Denmark they have a few questions that need to be answered before August if they are going to be competitive at the International Cup. Denmark is in the same group as Ireland, USA, Nauru, Japan and South Africa.
