Group B: Portugal and Germany Hurdle Group of Death



Group B
Germany        9
Portugal         6
Denmark        3
Netherlands   0

Group B may have been labeled the "Group of Death" in the 2012 European Championships, but Germany and Portugal were always the favorites to go through. They did just that last night in a nail-biting final round of group stage matches. 

Contrary to the shocking results of Group A, this was the result that many expected from Group B. The biggest shock provided by this group was Netherlands' first game loss against Denmark and Cristiano Ronaldo's inability to score. 

Last night however, the Portuguese Captain really delivered for his team. The Dutch went ahead early on the 11th minute with a goal from Rafael Van Der Vaart. Ronaldo fought back with a goal of his own on the 28th minute and another on the 74th to seal the victory and to bury the Dutch team at the bottom of the group.

Meanwhile, Germany didn't dominate their game against Denmark as expected. Up until the 8th minute, it looked like there was going to be a draw. Luckily, a goal from Lars Bender 10 minutes from time put them through and sent Denmark crashing out.

The German side have set up a quarter final match against surprise qualifiers Greece in Gdansk on Friday. Portugal will be facing Czech Republic in Warsaw on Thursday.
