(Portugal were this close to sharing the points)
Denmark blow group B wide open. With Germany, Holland not quite firing on all cylinders the Danes and their free flowing midfield will fancy their chances to progress. They don't seem keen to park the bus either, so their next two games should yield some goals.
Germany grind out a result. It wasn't pretty, but Germany are in the driving seat for the most coveted spot in the quarterfinal draw as the group B winner.
Group C, the real group of death. Croatia's impressive performance was no doubt in part due to a poor Irish display, but they will be nothing if not confident as they only need a result against either Spain or Italy to progress.
What is Del Bosque doing? Take nothing away from Italy, I thought they were great, but Spain were a far cry from the world champions and tiki-taka giants we've come to know over the past 4 years. Despite the fact that it was Fabregas and Silva who combined for the goal, it was painfully obvious that there wasn't enough room on the pitch for both of them, and I'd be shocked if he starts the same 11 against Ireland.
