Current results hold... it's Germany (group winners) and Portugal (won 3-2 over Denmark) that would advance

I thunk everyone knew the Dutch were going to concede at least one goal. I figured they would hope for 3-1 at the best but would more likely need to win 4-2.

Yep and Germany don't really care. The individual players are going to try to score of course, but they won't be playing for the win.

If Denmark beats Germany 2-1 and Portugal beats Holland 2-1 isn't Germany out?

I think so...

Germany wants to win and score goals. It is retarded to think otherwise.

Looked fine at the beginning of the game, but Portugal has controlled the first half. It could easily be 2-1 and maybe 3-1.

Well I mainly meant that Germany will be content to play for the draw. I thought Denmark would have to win by 2 anyway.

Denmark just has to win to advance. A draw is fine for Germany, but no team plays for the draw...that is the quickest way to a loss.

That happens all the time in group play. If it's still 1-1 at 75', I seriously doubt Germany presses.

It's been about 20 minutes since they've sniffed the box.

Portuguese players are the biggest whiners in the business.

that was a really reckless challenge but Pepe is such a clown. Off the charts really.

Did anyone else see the referee punch the Portuguese guy in the shoulder right before that last KNVB corner? (Can't remember who it was.)
