Right there with you Dennis. The wait is killing me! It going to be one hell of a game! 👍 It's all or nothing for Holland.
 
The Netherlands will win tonight!

Stekelenburg, van der Wiel, Heitinga, Matijsen, Willems, De Jong, Sneijder, Kuijt, van Persie, Huntelaar and Robben <---this the first eleven tonight.

In a line-up like this you need Kuijt, cause of his work rate, kinda. Especially against a country like Germany, which has alot of movements/running players. ;)
 
Auf gehts Deutschland! Though I really like Arjen Robben, I want ze Germans to win this one. It will be a thriller though!
 
I really hope (most probably not though) Van Marwijk puts Robben on the left en Kuyt or Affelay on the right so they can start giving crosses instead of playing to the inside from the wings. Van Persie or Huntelaar need to be given good crosses or passes to be 100% effective... Thats what Ive been missing with Holland. With Robben on the right EVERYONE knows he's going to cut inside and shoot 90% of the time.

That's actually the reason why I think that this the line-up for tonight. Because Germany expects that Robben will play as right-wing to surprise the opponent, van Marwijk is going to put him at the left-wing this time. And in order to have a good balance in the team since Sneijder is playing more like centre-midfield (instead of van Bommel), he will use Kuijt cause of his very high work rate in both defence and attack. So the team is more in balance. And then van Persie just close behind Huntelaar. As another surprise. That's what I think.

On a side note related to the press-conference of yesterday. Sneijder was sitting next to van Marwijk, instead of van Bommel. So that's why I think van Bommel isn't going to play tonight...
 
I generally rate Netherlands a better team then Portugal, so I think Denmark can come away with something tonight. Even just a point would do if Netherlands draw with the German's. Would really open the group up as well.
 
^^ @cuco Same for Holland... MUST WIN!!! :lol:

I hope he does change the line up as such, but van Marwijk is a stubborn guy at times, so I'm expecting the line up to be the same with the only change being, Matthijsen in place of Vlaar for the defence.
 
For all I know, Netherlands and Germany might as well end up as a 0-0 draw.

The Dutch kept on missing to no avail in their last game, and the Germans kept on trying to cross and failed miserably.

Denmark-Portugal will depend on if Portugal can constantly stay alert. If they fall asleep, Denmark will be through and in, and Portugal probably won't score judging by the number of crosses that failed to connect from their point of view as well.
 
Y'know, in the 7 comptitive games between netherlands and germany there has never been a 0-0! cant wait for tonight!
 
Today I'm considering D-Day for Portugal. Must win against Denmark!!!

FORCA PORTUGAL!!!

#BELIEVE

This.

And then Portugal VS Netherlands will be 3 points for US!! :lol:


First player out for Denmark, Zimling is hurt too bad

1-0 Portugal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Goal by Pepe.


And now the game needs to be locked up by both sides. 1-0 is enough. :P
 
What is it with Ronaldo? At Real he is king, but when he plays for Portugal, meh, he is more of a jester...
 
2 nil...what happened to the danes who played so well and beat the dutch??

They were never here... The Netherlands just forgot to score goals..

Because of an old saying in football : If you have the chances, but you can't score, the other side will do it for you. (loose translation from the Dutch.)
 
I hope that when the Danes get a bit more into the game, Portugal realizes it, and just go camping with 11 men in their own goal.


And yet, the Portuguese still show how to overact like little girls.

Half Time.


Second half, and another failed attempt from Ronaldo.
