Yesterday's blog had a few errors, I blame that on this app, but anyways! Yesterday was the big conclusion of the Group of Death at Euro 2012. The matches, like all the final group matches will, kicked off at the same time so no team could have an advantage!
Hold on, before we get to the conclusion of Group B, let's have some news. Well Nicklas Bendter has been suspended and fined for showing his underwear on a celebration after scoring his second goal vs Portugal! He will be suspended for Denmark's next 2014 World Cup match he is eligible for. He was fined 100,000 euros (£80,000). Bendter said they where just a pair of lucky boxer shorts he had no idea he was breaking any rules.
The Netherlands had to beat Portugal by 2+ plus goals and had to have Germany win. It looked very promising for the Netherlands when Van der Vart took an excellent strike with his left foot and got them the lead in the 10th minute! That goal was assisted by none other than Arjen Robben who looked very good yesterday. He had lots of space since Ronaldo would not get back and play defense. Robben looked for passes instead of taking to many shots. But then in the 27th minute the captain of Portugal decided to score his first goal of the tournament and tie it up.(Ronaldo). In the second half The Netherlands needed to score 2 and hold Portugal to scoring no more, but the Netherlands could not seem to find the back of the net. Cristiano Ronaldo who scored his 1st goal earlier put the Netherlands away with another goal! The Netherlands, probably the 3rd favorites in the tournament were eliminated with 0 points in the group.
I didn't really watch the other the game for the Netherlands is my favorite team , but I heard the Lukas Podolski scored Germany's first goal. Then later Krohn Deli tied it up for Denmark! But 10 minutes from the end Lars Bender won the game for Germany! Germany and and Portugal advance to the quarter finals!
