Portugal and Germany will qualify
^

I really hope NL fucks over portugal tho..
hopefully PT + GER, but Netherlands might surprise now!
You don't believe in Denmark? :(

btw well played today. I really enjoyed the match!
Parent
No i don't think so :( They played great (even today obviously), but i think Germany might win against DK... so won 1 Lost 2 ...

Just my personal opinion which doesn't matter since i don't rly like football or know alot about it!
Parent
I'm afraid that you're right. I'm pretty sure that Germany is much better than us. I don't think that we can win, but a draw would be fine too. As long as you will lose to Netherlands! Sorry :/

I think that it's a bit unfair that we have to play against each other again. We just played 2 matches against each other in the qualifications :( I must admit that I was a bit mad and sad, and you guys totally ruined my night but it was deserved since you were better!
Parent
Well, i wouldn't be surprised if we loose versus Holland, hope they loose though :D

And ye, this groups is weird... 2 many great teams together, but it's a exciting group so far. And yeah, we played twice against each other in qualifications, it's retarded... but np :)

and ye we played better, but it could be even better... Ronaldo failed ALOT and Helder Postiga is a fail player :D
Parent
idd this group is great. Just a shame that 2 teams will be out already...

you guys could win 5-2 tbh.. our defence was terrible :( you were too fast for us!

I really want to see Netherlands vs Portugal but I will be watching Germany vs Denmark. But I will surely follow the score in your match!
Parent
Get tv + pc streaming pt-nl, like a bosss! :D It's sunday!
Parent
haha will try! cheers mate
Parent
Portugal - Netherlands is going to be a fucking HUGE match
hope Portugal will qualify!
Netherlands underperforming as expected.
boateng already got himself his yellow card to miss next match, germany will not give a shit about the game (especially because a draw will kick their rivals out of the euro). they should not lose tough, otherwise they'd end up second in the group.

-> GER + DK, sorry por-fans, don't expect fair play!

-> NED so bad, seriously...
Germany & Denmark/Netherlands , depends how Germany will play & who is playing...
The Netherlands suck a noobs xD they'll drop out.
Germany+Denmark would be awesome :)
no wlasnie tak ma byc!

portugal > ronaldo


fuck yu haters !
c. ronaldo proved that he isn't near as good as messi.

but Portugal really have a good team even without nani and c. ronaldo!
Parent
today wasnt a good day for him
Parent
Quotec. ronaldo proved that he isn't near as good as messi.



HAHAHAH :D
Are you retarded or what?

Just because he has bad days as everybody else?
Nice logic man!
Parent
I would have scored on both of those two 1vs1 chances. That pretty much shows his level.
Parent
but would you've gotten yourself on such sweet spots?

didnt think so.
Parent
It pretty much explains why you are earning 1 million € each month and why Ronaldo sits behind his computer complaining on this site


oh wait...
Parent
hey i'm a great striker in my club :(

C. ronaldo is a great player but he missed too many chances today and he is too unstable.
Parent
You got the magic word, "today".

Bad day is a bad day.
Parent
the magic word was "unstable"
Parent
no bad days, just shit and ego fag
Parent
If you say so, then it must be true!
Parent
And messi does not have his bad days? Barca vs Chelsea for example..
Parent
but he didn't miss 2 HUGE 1vs1 chances. Also he couldn't even win a duel against kjær :/

But of course everyone have a bad day. I still think that when messi has a 'bad' day he's still pretty decent, while c. ronaldo is terrible when he's having a bad day. Yesterday he couldn't do anything alone and didn't do anything for his team.
Parent
He hasn't played 1 good game at a tournament though (2004,2006,2008,2010,2012: 5 tournaments already). It's not just 'having a bad day'.

He is way overrated for his country. Certainly not the best player playing for his country. It's always his teammates who make the difference, not him.
Parent
Couldn't agree more!
Parent
Seems like we agree a lot with each other lately!
Parent
Yeah! Feels good!
Parent
Ger: Don't think they played particularly well in the first 2 games. Just good organisation & efficient. You felt they could do much more (attackingly) but never did.

NL: Way too defensive, way too many sidepasses and passes back to keeper/CB, don't deserve to go through. Eventhough they had lot's of chances against DK, I don't think they played well. Missed cohesion and a system. Robben shot a dozen chances 50m over the goal against dk (those were half the chances & none of them were dangerous) plus very egoistic.

DK: Were lucky not to concede against NL and lose or draw the game. Decent organisation but lack the quality. Played their hearts out against por though and was nice to see them come back against them. Kinda deserve it to go through if only because none of them gave them a chance and they did well.

Por: Quite dissappointing. Very defensive against germany for the first 70min. After germany's goal suddenly they attacked and it was a nice 20min but if you want to play for only 20min, no thanks. Against DK they played decent but not that good either. A lot of bad passes & no good combinations you expect from such a good technical team. Ronaldo totally rubbish again like in every tournament.

All in all, ger and dk deserve to go through. Most likely it will be ger & por.
I dont understand why anyone would call any of the Dutch players ego.
Is it taboo to make a shot from distance?
Is it wrong trying to dribble past an opponent?
Parent
Did you watch the match against DK? Have you seen how many times Robben shot at goal? The worst thing was that there were almost every time better options on his left but he never passed. And when he did pass, he had to shoot. I think in total he shot at least 6-7 times in that match, every one of them at least 10m above the goal. He had a dozen opportunities in a 1vs1 to pass his man but not a single time he got passed him. He was rubbish.
Parent
Thats where we disagree.
I think an attacker should shoot when he has the chance. Especially when his strengths are 1v1 and shooting.
Ofc when there is a better opportunity, he should pass but 9/10 times a striker doesnt pay attention at a moment he gets to shoot.(unless he plays for barca)
Parent
But how many times did you saw Muller or özil shooting at goal? I don't think I've seen Muller shoot once at goal and ozil at most 1 or 2 times (over both games against nl & por). There's way more teamplay in the german team. They choose the right options and make the right decisions, something Robben (there are more) didn't do. I'm not saying NL would have won both games if Robben didn't play so egoistal but it didn't help for sure. I got no problem if he tries his luck from distance but if it doesn't work for like 5 or 6 time you don't have to do it again for the 7th time aswell. You just saw it coming he would shoot again over the bar.

Just to add, I don't think they are big ego's, they just play like that(well, some of them) during this tournament, and a bit during WC 2010 but normally they are both good individually AND as a team.
Parent
we were talking about ego
also, you exaggerate when you say shooting 6/7 over the bar.
Parent
That's just Robben. His little temper tantrum yesterday showed that too. The ego from such players really doesn't help the team spirit. Sad to say, NL don't really deserve to go through unless they devour Portugal, which I dont think they will.
Parent
temper tantrum? as in leaving the field as fast as possible?
Parent
couldn't agree more. I know that DK isn't near as good as the other teams in the group but we fight as much as we can(and even more). I'm quite disappointed in germany since I was sure that they will be even better than in south africa. But they play kinda boring and a bit too defensive tbh. But they'll probably become better later on since they have a lot of good players and some young talents!
Parent
Ya they play a bit too defensive. They have the players and the experience but it seems like they are playing with the handbrake on.
Parent
Doitzlääänd!!
i hope netherlands win and denmark manages to get a draw
so who goes through if ned-por-den all end @ 3 points ? Goals scored or Goals ratio ?
they fight with fists
Parent
I respect that.
Parent
Goals ratio, but only between those 3 teams. So the matched vs germany not included.
Parent
And after that, cuz that could be a draw too.

If NL win (with 1 goal difference).

Denmark got = +- 0
Portugal will have = +-0
Netherlands will have = +-0

Goals scored between the teams ?
Parent
a) higher number of points obtained in these matches;
b) superior goal difference from these matches;
c) higher number of goals scored in these matches;
d) higher number of away goals scored in these matches;
Parent
Then Portugal should go through, if they don't get a trashing from Holland at least.

Portugal (at least) 3 scored
Denmark 3 scored
Netherlands 0 ATM
Parent
Netherlands - Germany ended up in 1-2
Parent
all matches vs germany won't count if denmark loses against germany and NL wins vs portugal. so his info is correct, I only don't know if they also count the goals against you. which would put denmark on 0 (3 scored, 3 against) and portugal on 1 (3 scored, 2 against) and NL on -1.
Parent
they will:

a) points from the direct encounters
b) goal-ratio of the direct encounters
c) amount of goals of the direct encounters
d) goal-ratio of all group games
e) amount of goals of all group games
f) UEFA coefficient
g) fair play
h) drawn decision
Parent
Denmark need to lose against germany to all end up on 3 points so they will have a goal ratio of -1 or worse.
Parent
Only goal ratio between the 3 countries count (not the results against germany)
Parent
That doesn't make sense.. Goals against or from germany do count...
Parent
Filip joos said it was only between the 3 teams :s :p
Parent
No they do not. If DK, NL and PT all end up with 3 points, then the 2nd place is decided by goal-ratio (goals made and goals against) and only the goals played in the matches they played against eachother. All DE game goals are not counted in such a scenario.
Parent
Personally I think that we will only draw against Denmark if we play with our 2nd lineup.
Netherlands vs. Portugal is going to be one hell of a match if we manage to win vs. Denmark
Anyone remembered WM 2006? :D 14 yellow cards 4 red cards - epic.
i remember that game : DDD like a WAR...
Parent
even the 2nd lineup pwnz Denmark with
Wiese
Bender, Höwedes, Badstuber, Schmelzer
Gündogan, Kroos
Götze, Reus, Schürrle
Klose
Parent
please let it be a draw
Parent
Germany 2-0 Denmark
Netherlands 1-0 Portugal

so
Germany 3w-0d-0l gd +4 sg 5 rg 1 pts 9
Netherlands 1w-0d-2l gd -1 sg 2 rg 3 pts 3
Portugal 1w-0d-2l gd -1 sg 2 rg 4 pts 3
Denmark 1w-0d-2l gd -2 sg 3 rg 4 pts 3

Germany and Netherlands with a lot of luck! :D
where is the love? atleast let us draw and then everybody will be happy :-)
Parent
would be nice if dk comes through but i bet on NL and DE :D need da moneyz! :)
Parent
haha fair enough ;)
Parent
NL beating PT

not gonna happen
after they played 2 games like shit
Parent
everything is possible in EC, so you cant really say that...
Parent
wrong.

Netherlands needs to win with two goals difference from Portugal and Denmark must loose from Germany if Netherlands wants to become second in the group. In the scenario where Netherlands, Denmark and Portugal end up with 3 points, the goals scored in the matches vs Germany
Parent
i really hope this wannabe ronaldo will go home
Parent
"wannabe ronaldo"

is the same as you wannabe the person with the same name as yours
Parent
I have no faith in the dutch team anymore :<
ned cant do shit with robben
still can't believe how dutch failed so hard
because the coach didn't change the line up when he should, he will prolly change the line up against portugal since NL must score... will be an exciting match though. 2 attacking teams gonna play against eaother on sunday :D
Parent
denmark will loose :`(

and por will take it (lucky bastards :X)
The last time Netherlands defended this bad against Germany, they lost the country for about five years.
There is no like button so I'll just go with: +1
Parent
haha, and now vs portugal it'll be jetro willems vs nani and van der wiel vs ronaldo XDDDDDD gg called already
Parent
Jetro Willems underperforming was to be expected. How can you put a guy on the field that just turned 18 and played 1st division last year and expect him to perform on this level against these kind of opponents/players?
Parent
exactly, only replacement for him is schaars tho, can't be happy with that either :D van marwijk messed up bigtime there not getting anyone thats worthy of that position.
Parent
What dutch player do we have for that position though?

And besides that, he needs to get rid of his son in law. Played the worst in both games. No communication between him and the defense, and him and the frontline.
Parent
I would've put Emanuelson there, best option imo.
Parent
you stole that one!
Parent
If The Netherlands still manages to get into the quarter finals, there is absolutely nothing for us Dutchies to be proud of. Would be just a bunch of luck
Nah, not luck alone. All teams in this group had a fair chance to place 1st or 2nd. If NL reaches second place in this group it's because they won just enough to become second. The only luck factor is that the other two teams also sucked, and just that little bit harder than NL.

But let's not jump to conclusions just yet. NL first needs to win from Portugal with two goals difference and Denmark must loose from Germany. Netherlands 2 - 0 Portugal and Germany 3 - 1 Denmark is not an unthinkable or weird result and the chance of such scores happening is not very small. In that case NL would still be 2nd, but like I said, let's not jump to conclusions and wait and see what happens on sunday.
Parent
Fully agree, but its always shit when you know that your chances are influenced by others.
Parent
Yup. Becoming 2nd in the group is not entirely in Netherlands's hands anymore.
Parent
Well maybe "laten ze hun leeuw dit jaar wel in hun hemd staan" who knows
Parent
why denmark 2? they will lose directly, cuzz they suck..
But we won against you :/
Parent
weet je wa ne hollander doet nadat nederland de euro 2012 wint ??????

z'n playstation uitzetten
en dat zegt een belg.. gl met de worldcup qualifiers misschien na 20 jaar weer eens meedoen?
Parent
ik weet niet of jij verstand hebt van voetbal? maar als je team van belgië kijkt heeft het sowieso potentie om EK 2016 te winnen of in ieder geval ver te komen met de juiste trainer :) verdiep je maar eens in dat team, en nee ik ben niet belgisch maar realistisch
Parent
belgen altijd jaloers :D
Parent
ik ben echt benieuwd naar belgië op EK 2016 en WK 2014, want dat team van jullie is sick, de lichting qua spelers is echt nice, allemaal aan de jonge kant en zeer talant vol, sowieso 1 van de beste verdedigingen van de wereld atm. kijk er echt naar uit om ze in actie te zien met de juiste trainer.
Parent
zolang ze niet samen kunnen spelen kunnen ze niets doen tegen grote ploegen
Parent
jullie moeten spelen zoals chelsea of nederland op het wk. Heel compact en kei snel uitbreken... dan komen jullie ver.
Parent
Need to win witn 2-0 over GER to be sure to go through x))
If portugal wins over NL
Parent
Aaah, in that case, you do not go through at all. Then only two teams have 6 points and I believe (though im not entirely sure) that the results between those two teams count instead of the goal-ratio. In that case, if portugal wins of holland, they will always be through no matter if denmark wins from germany. But like I said, I'm not entirely sure about that.
Parent
yea its twisted to say the least... :P but if dk wins over ger and por over nl .. then GER 6 points, DK 6 points and POR 6points... just thought I heard some journalist say yesterday that we needed to win with 2 over GER to be 100% sure to go through... but yea not sure myself either xD
Parent
Oh of course!! if you win from de and pt wins from nl then de, pt and dk all have 6 points and then goal ratio is still counted in that situation. Then you need to win with at least 2-0 indeed to be 100%.
Parent
Will be too hard. Of course I hope that we will win but I just can't see this happening.

Lets hope that it will be a draw. Good for both teams - Germany will be through and we will be 1 point ahead of portugal. Then we just need some help from the lovely country named the netherlands!
Parent
You don't have to beg for help from the dutch players. I'm sure they will try their best to win from PT because they simply need to if they want a chance to become 2nd in the group. NL are the ones that need help from the lovely country named Germany! To beat DK ;-)
Parent
Haha yeah! It's a bit tricky that both teams need help. Going to be some sick matches!
Parent
Would've been better if NL won yesterday. Then it would be 4 teams with 3 points and all would depend on the last match :)
Parent
but denmark would be out then
Parent
Why? It's not like Germany played so incredibly good the last two matches. Don't count yourself out just because Germany is generally a good team. Luck and no luck are quite big factors in football.
Parent
hopefully Portugal goes through, NL doesn't deserve the spot and at the end of the day Denmark is an average team in comparison with the others
if NL goes through then the cup fails, losing 2 matches like that, then u just have to go home
