Denmark JUST misses the 2-1.

Forget Özil, the worst German on the pitch is Bender, who is giving up holes to Simon Poulsen all game long.

Germany is playing like a boxer who has just taken a knockdown. Everything seems too cautious.

Müller didn't track Poulsen on that chance, I think.

The twitter tag for the other game is #PORNED. Twitter helpfully suggested that I should visit #pornhub instead. Will think about it.

I'm sure Ballack is ecstatic about Podolski being subbed out...

Germany atm is playing like Bayern Munich on a bad hair day. Extreme ball possession, zero chances.

Schürrle for Podolski, interesting sub.

This is REALLY nerve grating. Both GER and DEN are waiting for the other team to open up.

Is there any way for Germans and Danes to advance while Portugal and Netherlands get eliminated? That'd sure be nice.

Germany is JITTERY with fear. Bendtner almost surprised Neuer.

Ok guys, are we a world class team or just frontrunning wannabes?!! :angry:

Lucky the ref didn't give a penalty for that Badstuber foul against Bendtner.

Lars Bender already has scored more goals than Jerome Boateng in his international career. :wink:

Jogi REALLY has to do some anti-corner drills if we want to win the EC. Agger and Bendtner are just KILLING us in the air.

Edit: we would be *knock on wood* playing Greece?! Then just repeat my upper statement 100x...

We haven't been that crappy. Could've been up 3:0 after 30 mins. Denmark is just really, really good. Surprising, but yeah. They defend well and are quick to strike.
