That was a gorgeous shot by Van Der Vaart

[Ario Barzan]

HT germany 1-1 denmark, who's not intimidated by the mighty germans and hanging in there ... in fact, their goal off of a couple of beautiful header plays, was nicer than germany's goal ... but the mannschaft still have the bulk of play and are dictating the pace

also, holland 1-1 portugal ... go portugal!

both hell of a game

[Go_Daei]

is 90 minutes really needed for a game of soccer? especially at end of long regular sesson? make these game shorter imho.

[Keano]

Both games have so far been spectacular, too bad they're being played simultaneously

[Ario Barzan]

^np ... thx 2 PIP

[Ario Barzan]

FT, both results 2-1 ... germany over denmark and portugal over holland, so here is how next round has shaped up so far :

germany vs. greece
portugal vs. czech

germany was playing with so much confidence and superiority, just short of dominating the danes.

portugal also played a very refreshing and inspired brand of football that we know they're capable of, if they choose 2 play that way.

WTH happened 2 the dutch?!? ... some say too many stars past their prime, with even bigger egos, not fitting well together as a cohesive unit.

[KC McElroy]

Heads will roll in Holland.

[Epitome]

Holland got kicked out! eventhough the referees chose to disregard their barbaric violence during all the matches. Today Jetro Willems deserved a red card for his tackle and Sneijder should have received a yellow card for pushing a player in a very childish manner before the referee's very eyes.

PS. Now the head coach is in a live interview. He's blaming the players and says someone of them didn't want to play and there're problems between them, which is very typical of dutch to be jealous of one another. However the coach is to blame too. Now that it became public that Van Bommel is his son in law. That explains while he was in the squad despite his age.

u are realllllllyyyyyyyyyyyy over estimating portugal...

Am I over estimating them now ?! Now that they totally dominated Holland and should of really thrashed them....

Am I ?? How ?

I'm predicting group B something like this......

Holland 3-0 Denmark
Germany 3-2 Portugal
Germany 2-1 Holland
Portugal 2-2 Denmark
Portugal 2-1 Holland
Germany 3-0 Denmark

Which would leave the group like this:

Germany 9
Portugal 4
Holland 3
Denmark 1

You don't think Portugal can beat Holland ? To me Holland's defence is soorakh, Ronaldo and Nani will tear their defence apartwhereas Portugal's defence is world class. If anything I'm underestimating them by picking Denmark to draw with them although Denmark beat them in their last match but Portugal will be much stronger at the Euro's. Also here's a little stat for you ... Portugal and Holland have met 10 times, Portugal have won 6, Holland have won 1 ......

Is predicting Portugal beating Russia too much to ask for ?! We beat Russia FFS....

If anything I am overestimating them against Spain.... or am I ??.......

Bah Bah Bah I love being right

Ronaldo and Nani had fun against Holland and should of scored 5 goals between them

Looks like I did under estimate them to draw against Denmark

[Kaveh Ahangar]

Germany will turn Greece into the 8-0ers of Europe. Deutschland will tear those anti-football players multiple new orifices.

hahah troll or blind ? Portugal on a good day would of won this game something like 6-2, Ronaldo hit the post twice, Nani should of scored a tap in and Postiga missed a 1on1. And Yes Ronaldo and Nani terrorized Holland.

all portugal did was sit back and counter attack and impress u. holland had enough chances specially in the second half to equalize. they too hit the post.

[P.Nima]

^^ Not true, Holland was good in the first half but after that it was all Portugal. The win was totally deserved.

I can count Holland's good moments on 1 hand, VDV's goal, VDV hits post, RVP shoots wide..... Portugal had so many great chances I've lost track of some of them. Portugal dominated the game period
