Denmark vs. Japan 1-1(0-1)
Cameroon vs. Netherlands 0-2(0-1)
In the most important group game we have Denmark vs. Japan, two teams without big individuals but with very good qualities as a team. Both Denmark and Japan were fighting for the next round, Denmark needed a victory, but for the asian side a draw was enough because of the only one goal difference. It looks like the goal difference counted for the place in this group and the Japanese qualified for the last 16 after a 1-1 draw against Olsen's team.
The other group game was more simple. The Netherlands had their place guaranteed for the second round and Cameroon was unable to progress any further. Bert van Marwijk used the standard formula and Holland won the game in an easy manner. At half time they already had one goal advantage and in the the second half Kuyt made it 2-0. The Netherlands qualified first from group E winning all the three group games.
