June 9, 2012

Day 2 of Euro 2012 has begun, and started off with my Holland being defeated by the major underdog Denmark, 1-0.  Denmark was able to capitalize on shaky defending early in the match and then was able to park the bus in the second half to absorb the Dutch attacks.  Amazingly, the Netherlands outshot Denmark 32-8, but were unlucky to come up with no goals.  They were the highest scoring team in qualifying, and this was definitely an unexpected result.  The shots were there, they just weren't falling.  Advancing out of the group will now be a monstrous task, with games still to go against Germany and Portugal, two very strong teams as well.
