The North Macedonian striker, Danny Musovski, says in an exclusive interview with Flashscore's Filip Mishov that he is confident that the Balkan minnows can pull off a huge surprise when they visit the Parken Stadium for the World Cup qualifying clash against Denmark on Thursday evening.

[p]Born in Nevada to Macedonian parents, [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/musovski-danny/nDTyTCP9/"]Musovski[/a] is eligible to represent the [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/north-macedonia/GrTQ3oHB/"]North Macedonia[/a] national team after recently obtaining his citizenship, which made him available for a debut call-up ahead of the March international break.[/p][p]Macedonian coach, Goce Sedloski, also did not waste any time including the 30-year-old in the squad for the upcoming match against [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/denmark/0KUdxQVi/"]Denmark[/a] in the 2026 World Cup playoff semi-finals, and the Sounders forward now looks set to make his debut on March 26th at the Parken Stadium in Copenhagen with his family watching from the stands.[/p][embed guid="332edd59-6111-490d-8a99-0e4a0b7be1a9" url="https://x.com/fmishov/status/2034525765874663573?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2034525765874663573%7Ctwgr%5E6dc998bcba7e35dece27db24b50f442c2264f3d8%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.flashscore.com%2Fnews%2Fdanny-musovski-on-seattle-sounders-and-north-macedonia-exclusive%2FGSKQnGQh%2F" social-type="twitter" /][p][b]"I'm just really excited to be representing Macedonia. When I got that call in the off-season, it was something I was very excited about. To represent any national team is such an honour, and to get that call from North Macedonia, especially with the big games they have coming up, is something I'm really excited for. You want to represent the country well, as well as your family and yourself,[/b]" Musovski proudly explains.[/p][p]Despite the Macedonians being the underdogs against the favoured Denmark, the belief is there, and Musovski is confident of success in Copenhagen first and then, picks [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/ireland/Gfyqk1aG/"]Ireland[/a] as his preferred opponent for the away final, which will be held just a few days later on the 31st of March.[/p][p][b]"I definitely believe we're going to win. I don't think any professional soccer player believes they're going to lose a game. We're going into Denmark hoping to get a win. Denmark is a really good team, so it's definitely going to be a tough competition. But Macedonia has a good team as well, so if we put in a good showing, we can do well and hopefully qualify for the World Cup,"[/b] concludes Musovski.[/p]
