They'll have a well-organized defense, just like Denmark, and we've proven that we currently lack the ideas and the movement to break down such a team. Furthermore, Greece can be happy with stalling out the game, waiting for their one opportunity or even take it to penalties - Denmark at least had to score, which is what led to the 2-1. Hope Löw is going to adjust this time and keep Gomez/Podolski out, they've been useless for most of the match. I know they scored - but so did Bender, and he'll find himself benched at the blink of an eye. Schürrle has been even more useless than Podolski. | ||

But Netherlands could never replace Germany as the team that advanced to the quarters. For Germany to go out, they had to lose to Denmark while Portugal smash Netherlands. | ||

Why not? It keeps 3rd game from being meaningless. | ||

Damned that it had to be Portugal (of all countries) that made it 2#  Oh well, Im rooting for Germany from this point on agree.that holland is out is one thing(and them advancing by miracle wouldve been a nice story) but denmark not beeing rewarded for a really strong performance in all 3 games is a bit sad. wouldve loved to see them advance over portugal crazy game and it really got tense for a time. but 9 points in the end, hoofuckingray | ||

I think most people have a problem that the game against Ned was completely meaningless since it's not relevant for the tiebreaker at all. | ||

I'd agree with you if the two scenarios were related but it wasn't like the Dutch could get in at the expense of the Germans. If the Dutch got it it meant Germany had to also. Not to mention if they changed it to fix your issue, the draw would be more important because if you 0-2 you'd be out even if two teams are 1-1 and they both lost g3 so why bother trying put up a result instead of giving younger players experience and essentially gifting 2nd in the group to whoever you played third. I do wish they'd use overall GD as the first tiebreaker like the WC but I can understand why they dont. | ||

We wasn't better and from 60min to 75 germany has entire ball posession and you could just sit waiting for the goal to come ;( holland loosing as well didn't help either. if only we didn't let that goal in in 86th min vs portugal and had atleast 1 point but no. gratz germany. please take on portugal Don't be sad! Denmark played really well in this group. You don't need to be in the knock-out stage for people to call you a good team. | ||

Thanks we're keeping our heads high. i think we can be proud of our boys with the overall performance defintely. The way we raised from 0-2 to 2-2 vs portugal was beautiful and showed we can come back even after being down so bad and that we're capable of it. I was really optimistic tho that we could make it through with germany especially when they're our neighbours <3 when it was 1-1 and holland had 1-0 i prayed for it to stay like that til 90min xD | ||

I'm still pissed about the penalty not being given - it was screaming to the sky and I think it would have meant the match would've looked a lot different. But oh well, the referee is human and besides this one, which can be hard for the on-field referee to see, he did an excellent job. GG and GL to Germany in the quarterfinals! | ||
