Some teams are considered great having narrowly missed out on major honours (Hungary 1954, Netherlands 1974). In the 1986 World Cup Denmark suffered a second round hammering at the hands of Spain, but are still remembered as one of the most stylish sides ever seen. In their group matches they managed a 1-0 win over Scotland and then beat Uruguay (6-1) and West Germany (2-0).
