Group E (Holland, Cameroon, Denmark, Japan)

[certifiable]

Unbelievable goal from Japan. Stunner. Ridiculous angle and distance to score from.

It's that ball. Something quite "unnatural" about it.

Somebody likened it to those crappy light plastic things that people bought as kids. It just seems to fly. He hardly gave it any backlift, seemed to catch it with not the most forceful kick, and yet it travelled huge distance!
Definitely something really strange about how it travels

2-0 Japan.

2 freekicks. Incredible.

Denmark surely going home.

The team I was playing against last Saturday brought one along and within 15 minutes, they'd already scored 4 goals. Granted, we were only able to muster up nine men to start the match, but I blamed the ball.

RT @InfostradaLive: Dirk Kuyt selected for his 31st successive match for #NED Netherlands, the longest streak by a #NED Netherlands outfield player for 49 years.

Eto'o equalises for Cameroon from the penalty spot, to wipe out RvP's opener for the Dutch.

So who's this Eriksen fella then from Ajax?

A team with Bendtner upfront isn't going to get far in the WC

he's danish

[Craig_H]

He seems to be the next big thing to come out of Denmark, i'm reliably informed by Cleo that he's been compared to Michael Laudrup, but obviously there's a long way to go before he can justify that tag. Only 18 years old.

i was once compared to michael laudrup, true story.

of course what they actually said was 'compared to michael laudrup you are incredibly ****.'
