Group E

This is what I though might happen:

Group E looks to be really quite tasty.   Netherlands and Denmark plus Japan and Cameroon.  Mmm, I reckon a so-called 'big' side could struggle here, and it might not be Denmark.

  • Cameroon 0-1 Japan Confession first - I didn't actually see this game. However, judging by some national newspaper reports on games that I've been at sometimes their hacks don't watch all the games either.  So there.  Anyroad up, Messrs Lawrenson and colleague told me whe...
  • Netherlands 2-0 Denmark In the lunch time kick off which demonstrates the dichotomy of the TV schedules, we saw two technically very good European teams with small TV audiences battle it out at Soccer City in Johannesburg. That the Dutch should have won is perhaps no surprise, ...
