Netherlands 1-0 Japan

Confession - today I was mostly at a wedding so I can't say that I watched or listened to all that much of this game (or the 2 subsequent ones).  No matter, this sounded like a reasonably comfortable, if hard fought, win for the Dutch over a Japanese team that still harbours aspirations of qualifying for the next phase.  The Dutch goal was scored by Wesley Sneijder whose blast from the edge of the penalty area was just too much for 'keeper Kawashima.  So with 6 points from 6 the Netherlands are the first team to have qualified for the next phase.  Japan v Denmark is a winner takes all - though a draw favours the Japanese.
