Because of that I think they'll be highly motivated to take care of business, beat the Danes and win the group. Which is unfortunate because the Danish have been entertaining.

That said, can Holland beat the Portuguese by 2? It can be done. However, if the Portuguese assume the Germans will win, they need only a draw to go through which isnt the biggest risk in the world.
Yeah, the Dutch aren't out of this whatsoever. I could totally see them turning it on, especially if they get word that Germany are doing their job on Denmark and given that Germany needs a result to guarantee, they'll want to play a pretty full squad. This group is gonna be decided really late on Sunday.
