Euro 2012

Group B matches today from the group of death: Netherlands v Denmark and Germany v Portugal, really looking forward to the Germany v Portugal match, two of the potential favourites facing off.

Denmark aren't a bad side, but they're on for 100/1 in some places, which shows you how good this group will be.
I expect Holland the Germans to advance though.
Portugal's frailties at the back will show through.

Its a good match so far and now even more interesting that Denmark have scored and are leading. The Dutch seem to look a bit lightweight up front and either Kuyt or Huntelaar should come on to suport Van Persie better. Robben's finishing is about as poor as it was in the Champions League final.

Robben's still a quality player, everything apart from his finishing has been sublime today.
I'm hoping he scores next, got a bet on it at 7/1.
Kuyt isn't much of a hitman, he's more of a hold-up player, Huntelaar would be a good shout.

You're right, it has been a good game to watch thus far, and maybe Denmark can spring a surprise.

Well they have and the best sight of the whole game was Robben sitting down at the end shaking his head........as he did after the Champions League final

It was a great result, as this means that Holland now have to get a result against Germany in their next match, Holland v Germany is still the biggest match in European football.

Jeez, lads! No-one even giving Ireland a chance? (Dissolves into uncontrollable fits of laughter...)

As a Dutchman, I'm afraid I'll have to admit that our national team has a player with thew Down Syndrome. Van Persie did such an awful, awful job on this one.

Germany and Portugal aren't doing too well either though, I'm hoping for a draw. Then again, I was pessimistic from the beginning, I don't expect Holland to do anything. Portugal will proceed anyways.

Anyone notice that before the Denmark/Holland match they were playing Alan Parsons Project's "Sirius"?

Oh, I'm a music nerd...

Lol @ Ireland.

That result should shut up all those deluded Celtic fans who think they hold allegiance to the country in some strange form.

Spain look more than capable of out passing any other team, but I got the impression, particularly with Iniesta, that there were still in their club mentality and couldn't gel with each other in the final third. Delighted to see Torres suffering! .

More than slightly tense about tonight's game. I can't help but think it's going to be the same old, same old from England. We'll see....
