Denmark striker Ebbe Sand blamed defensive errors and his side's lack of
cutting edge for their World Cup exit against England.
The Danes crashed out at the second round stage on Saturday, losing 3-0 to
Sven-Goran Eriksson's side.
However, England's win was helped largely by some indifferent defending from
Denmark, who were 2-0 down after 22 minutes and trailed by three at the break.
Sand told a Danish magazine: "Overall we were punished for our errors,
because England weren't that good.
"I think 3-2 would have given a more fair picture of the game.
"We kept playing despite the game becoming very difficult, but in the last 10
minutes I could see it would be extremely difficult to get a draw."
Defender Martin Laursen echoed his team-mate's sentiments, ruing his side's
inability to score.
He added: "I'm so sorry that I gave them a corner after a few minutes,
because they scored from it.
"But I thought we would control it and we did, but we couldn't score."
