Denmark - Japan

Match 43 - Group E - 24 June

With The Netherlands already qualified and Cameroon on its way home, the final place will be given to either Japan or Denmark. Japan have the better cards (a better goal difference) so Denmark must win, whereas Japan can be happy with a draw.

Our prediction : Denmark 1 - Japan 2

Cameroon - Denmark

Match 26 - Group E - 19 June

For Cameroon and Denmark this is their last chance. If they lose this game, they are for sure out of the competition. Both lost their opening game, and need at least a draw to have an inkling of a chance. We can expect a nervous beginning, and towards the end of the game a desperate struggle for that elusive goal.

Our prediction : Cameroon 1 - Denmark 1

Holland start off slowly

Normally The Netherlands start like a steamtrain, and then in the second or third round they run out of steam and get beaten by a team that play more efficiently.

This time they started much slower, first getting a nice gift from a Danish player who plays in Holland (owngoal) and afterwards finishing off the poor Danes.

Holland deserved to win, but it wasn't a great game. It looked more like the way Germany used to play 20 years ago. I'm sure Holland will qualify for the next round, as this group is definitely the Group of Life

Netherlands - Denmark

Match 9 - Group E - 14 June

The Netherlands always start at a World Cup with the idea that they will become the best team of the world. But so far they never managed to win the World Cup. And we think that this year won't be any different. Too many stars, too many egos and too many players who prefer to show their individual talents instead of playing as a team. Denmark should be no problem and the Dutch should count themselves lucky to be in the "Group of Life" (where most other teams will prove no serious competition.

Our prediction : Netherlands 2 - Denmark 1
