Nicklas Bendtner showed the world what he is capable of with a stunning hat-trick for Denmark against USA.
The striker outshone teammate and Tottenham star Christian Eriksen to lead the Danes to a 3-2 victory over Jurgen Klinsmann's side, who made the World Cup quarter-finals last summer.
Bendtner is into his first season at Wolfsburg at present, having left Arsenal last summer, but has struggled for regular football this season, scoring just one Bundesliga goal in 16 games.
His international record is outstanding however, having scored more goals for his country than either Radamel Falcao or Edinson Cavani.
