Denmark v Germany OR Portugal v Netherlands?

[Colossal Squid]

Which are you going to be watching?

I am genuinely stumped.

Holland. More exciting game. I want to see Ronaldo cry

 

[Colossal Squid]

I guess of all the teams involved Germany will be least worried as they're most likely to go through whatever happens tonight, so does that make the Portugal v Netherlands game more interesting? I just cant work it out.

good goal by Vander vaart

1-0 to the Dutch.

They look up for it. Should be feisty, especially if the Portuguese get rattled.

I note some media mentioned the two managers are prone to kicking off and likely to give each other plenty of verbals.

is the thought pattern I'm going with.

If two or more teams are equal on points on completion of the group matches, the following criteria are applied, in the order given; to determine the rankings:
a) higher number of points obtained in the matches among the teams in question;

As Holland lost 0-1 to Denmark aren't they already out, like Russia? Not according to the BBC though.

Whoops! Just sussed it. Three clubs level on points if Denmark lose so:

b) superior goal difference in the matches among the teams in question (if more than two teams finish equal on points);

I'm switching between the two, but predominantly watching Holland/Portugal.

 

[Seagull over Canaryland]

Chances at both ends, should be loads of goals at this rate. Some poor defending so far. Would be good to see the Dutch get a two goal lead to give the Portuguese squeaky bum time.

1-1 Germany - Danes

 

[zeetha]

Or watch both thanks to broadband! That's what I'm doing, though partly because all of our TV is out at home...

 

[Kuipers Supporters Club]

1-1 Germany - Danes

who scored ?

 

[brunswick]

i still dont get it, how come holland are still below portugal - both are on 3 points and they are beating them head to head?

Denmark spoiling the show for Holland. 1-1

It's because 3 teams on same points and all lose 1 against the others so can't separate them that way so next criteria comes in.
