Denmark coach Morten Olsen believes the World Cup favourites are being given an unfair advantage with their kick-off times in Japan and Korea.

Olsen has criticised organisers for giving teams like France and Germany more evening games, whilst his side have only had afternoon games when the heat is at its worst.

All three of Germany's group games have been are scheduled for an evening kick-off and both of France's opening games took place at night.

Argentina and Brazil have had one game at night, whereas Italy will have had two when they complete their Group G fixtures.

Olsen told Berlingske Tidende: "Only yesterday I realised that Germany play all their three group matches at night.

"It's completely crazy and has nothing to do with fair play when the tournament is held in a heat like here in Japan and Korea.

"I'm sorry to say that we can do nothing about it.

"But it's not right that big nations like Germany hold so much power they can dictate that they want to play all their matches at night.

"It's crazy when there is so much difference when you play in the afternoon."

Ironically, Olsen's criticism may work in Denmark's favour.

They meet the French tomorrow for an afternoon kick-off needing just a point to go through and knock the defending champions out.

The Danes have experience playing matches in such intense heat, whereas Roger Lemerre's side have not.
