I'm not sure if he catched those two handballs that were actually handballs but I wouldn't have awarded a penalty for those anyway. The second one was played in his hand and Poulsen's didn't really matter so it would've made everyone sad. Now if there had been a Dutch player closer than 20m to him it should've been a penalty. There are people in this thread saying the Oranje played well?? - no, they could've won if RvP or Robben were performing their best but still it would've been a bad performance from the team as a whole. | ||

Really just the D, they were considerably flatter and out of ideas as the game went on offensively as well, and lost the plot after the Danes scored for a bit, but they made chances the bad comes in at not converting. Second half was just Danes being really good at times. I dont think they are getting enough credit really. Kjaar and Agger were really solid aside from the odd chance that really the Dutch should be putting away. | ||

I don't judge him based on Denmark winning... I'm just happy we did... I even pointed out my bias myself. But my question still stands... Regarding the FIFA World Rankings, why would you put Denmark (who's currently #9... #6 if you don't count the south american teams) as a b-list team? My point was split in 2 - the first being Netherlands, Germany and Portugal being favorites - so I was just excited about Denmark actually proving people wrong. The second part was wondering, how come he had Denmark as a b-list team, when they're (according to FIFA) the 9th best team in the world? | ||

Sure your right the ranking given from a guy whom the op quoted is arguable - placing portugal two levels over denmark is imo realy wrong, you even placed first in the qualifiers over them, denmark is totaly underrated which should be a realy good thing for you, would be very glad if you advanced with germany in group b, then even semi seems possible against group a teams ( im not realy that impressed with russia, good play vs very bad opponent ) | ||

To be fair - from a danish point of view. Those two were handballs - and had I been from Holland I'd be furious to not get a single penalty when two were actually commited - however, you're right. One was ball-to-hand (rather than hand-to-ball), which means he didn't really "do" it. And the other one was in a situation the defender (Poulsen) was nowhere near a dutch player. And tbh... Denmark wasn't the better team for 70minutes. RvP, Robben and Schneider were constant threats. The only thing keeping us in (the first 70 minutes) were solid defense, great goalkeeper, stoicism and a bit of luck (no penalties and RvP missing his 1v1 with the keeper). Don't know what happened though. Straight after the 70-minute-mark, Holland just started playing straight up bad (no offense). Starting losing balls constantly. Just kicking the ball in random directions - most of the times straight into the feet of a danish player. Denmark not being able to punish it however was a bit sad. But with Rommedahl and Eriksen being either substituted - or tired we didn't have enough speed to press the issue. On another note... Looking forward to the games today  | ||

Group A seems to have an average skill level that is just subpar. I really like the danish coach. He's usually so honest and non-hyping, but he actually said, that if Denmark advanced from Grp B, we would basicly win the tournament -.- Do we know who we'll play if we advance? Are the grp-seeding-thingies known? (Like A1 v B2, A2 v B1, C1 v D2, C2 v D1 or something) ? | ||

Winning Group B would also mean you cannot face Spain until the finals, assuming Spain wins their group, too. | ||
