Denmark coach will miss Arshavin, Keane, Ibrahimovic at World Cup

Copenhagen - The 2010 World Cup finals in South Africa will likely see dazzling efforts from many players, but Danish coach Morten Olsen Thursday said he will miss three forwards in action. Since Ireland, Russia and Sweden failed to qualify, stars like Tottenham Hotspur's Robbie Keane, Arsenal's Andrey Arshavin and Barcelona's Zlatan Ibrahimovic will be absent during the tournament. 'There will always be players you miss,' Olsen told Danish news agency Ritzau. 'Zlatan would have been a terrific player to follow at the World Cup, but if you want to see Zlatan, check out Barcelona. The play a lot of games.' Olsen said he understood why Arshavin reportedly had been 'depressed over missing out on the World Cup,' observing that there were not so many opportunities to participate at World Cup finals. 'The European championships are big, but the World Cup is the world's greatest sports event,' Olsen said. The draw for the 2010 World Cup takes place on Friday in Cape Town. Denmark secured an automatic qualifying berth from its group that included Portugal and Sweden. Source:monstersandcritics.com/
