Denmark were paired with Netherlands, Cameroon and Japan in Friday evening's 2010 World Cup draw in Cape Town and the Danes will face a tough task to qualify for the next round. However, forward Jon Dahl Tomasson is confident that Denmark have what it takes to progress.

"It's not exactly the draw we wanted, as we could have been paired with worse teams. Its a tough group, there's no team such as New Zealand in it," Tomasson said on the official Feyenoord website.

"Cameroon are one of the best teams from Africa, while Japan are known for their determination on the pitch. The match against Holland will be extra exciting because of all the Danes who play in the Eredivisie.

"I will discuss the draw with [Holland skipper] Gio van Bronckhorst on Saturday.

"It might be a tough draw for us, but I still expect us to qualify for the knock-out phase."
