Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. How many teams in the league had a chance to participate in European competions, thanks to their great results in the 2003/2004 season?

Answer: 5

The five teams were OB Odense and Esbjerg (UEFA Intertoto Cup), Brondby IF and Aalborg (UEFA Cup), and finally FC Kobenhavn (Champions League).

2. Ironically, FC Kobenhavn, despite being the 2003/2004 season champions, made the worst presentation out of all Danish clubs in the European competions. Why?

Answer: They beat Gorica, a low class soccer team, 2-1 in their away leg, but they lost a shocking 5-0 at the home leg.

It's true that there was a strike in Denmark that lasted a few weeks in the season, but this was way after Kobenhavn were disqualified.
They did score a goal in the competetion, two actually, against Gorica in the away leg.

And finally, there were SOME injured players in the home leg, but the key part of that option is that Erik Mykland was already retired from soccer at the time of this match.

3. Many consider that Esbjerg were the best team in the European competitions in 2004. Why?

Answer: They made it to the semifinals in the Intertoto Cup

They were considered the best because nobody expected them to make it to the semi-finals. Everybody thought that they would be eliminated in the first round.
