Denmark will play South Korea and the United States in two friendlies next month as it starts preparations for next year's World Cup. Denmark coach Morten Olsen said Tuesday his team will play South Korea in Esbjerg on Nov. 14, and the United States in Aarhus four days later. All three teams have already secured a spot in next year's tournament in South Africa. The Danish Football Federation said it was the first time that Denmark plays South Korea and the first time the United States plays on Danish soil. Denmark plays Hungary in its final qualifier Wednesday, but has already secured top spot in Group 1.
