Denmark hope having thousands of passionate fans back in the stands in Copenhagen on Saturday will help them to victory over a Finnish side making a first appearance at a major tournament finals. “That boost and the margins that all these matches will be about, I believe the Danish fans in Parken (stadium) can tip the balance in our favour. Defender Mathias “Zanka” Joergensen, who grew up a stone’s throw from the stadium, echoed the sentiments of his boss. With group rivals Belgium and Russia meeting later on Saturday in St. Petersburg, the Finns know that a good start will be essential. “Enthusiasm is increasing and we can’t wait to be at Copenhagen’s Parken Stadium to make history right away,” Kanerva added.
