Euro 2012 Day 10 - Den v Ger and Neth v Ronaldo

[localny]

Germany and Holland to win!

 

[Jürgen4PM]

I've just dumped my life savings on a Badstuber goal.

 

[SummerOnions]

I think Denmark Germany will be 2-2 and Portugal 0-1 Holland with a missed penalty by Ronaldo

 

[Modo]

Germany will hopefully rest their best players

 

[King Binny]

As a neutral fan, I hope Germany play close to their strongest squad. With a 5 day gap before the Q-Finals, coupled with the need for confidence and momentum, let alone yesterday's 'upsets' and chance for personal accolade (Golden Boot), I'd prefer it if they ensure a result before giving squad players game time.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Germany will hopefully rest their best players

Why would they? They can still go out.

The possible permutations of today

Why would they? They can still go out.

Really, I thought they were through.

The possible permutations of today

Now that's a chart.

I noticed that Binny likes it!

 

[Gary25]

The Germans will go through, and i hope Denmark join them. Aslong as Portugal don't get through i'll be happy enough.

Should be an eventful night of football.

 

[Modo]

Quarter finals:

Czech rep vs Runner-up of Group B (Probably Holland or Denmar or Portugal)
Greece vs Winner of group B (Most definitely Germany)

Hope ze Germans crush them.

COME ON YOU DAAAAANES!!!!

We need to pull a big one today. Eriksen has GOT to find his game as well as Bendtner, Kvist and Agger to play blinders. And Andersen, our keeper.

2-2 is a good shout. Hope we can steel a narrow win of course.

 

[King Binny]

Neuer - Bender, Hummels, Badstuber, Lahm - Schweinsteiger, Khedira - Müller, Özil, Podolski - Gomez

Andersen - Jacobsen, Kjaer, Agger, SPoulsen - Kvist, Zimling, Eriksen - JPoulsen, KrohnDehli, Bendtner

 

[King Binny]

Stekelenburg; vd Wiel, Vlaar, Mathijsen, Willems; Nd Jong, Vd Vaart; Robben, RVP, Sneijder; Huntelaar

Patrício; Pereira, Alves, Pepe, Coentrão; Veloso, Meireles, Moutinho; Nani, Postiga, Ronaldo

That Netherlands lineup should've been fielded much earlier instead of the 2 DMs in earlier games.

 

[the_khl]

Eriksen will start on the right wing which probably could be a wise move seeing he's been closed proper down against Holland and Portugal in central.

Will give him a bit more time on the ball and hopefully a bit more confidence to get involved.

We can guarantee Woy hasn't seen it

 

[redsar]

Denmark 1-1, Krohn-Dehli

 

[Gary25]

Tyldesley is so desperate for Ronaldo to score.

 

[livvy145]

This could be one of those nights, great stuff.

 

[livvy145]

1-1 Ronaldo

 

[redsar]

Group of Death living up to its name.

 

[Gary25]

Dutch defence is abysmal.

 

[livvy145]

What a ball that was to him

 

[LeTallecWiz]

Dutch defence is abysmal.

They're basically playing KJH & RvP, with Van der Vaart, Robben & Sneijder attacking and barely offering any defensive help. So their defense is stuck with their 4 (& inexperienced Willems) + De Jong. They don't really have much of a chance today ... Dutch are going for broke.
