| DirtyP2002 said: Just like I said, Schweinsteiger and Müller played awfully slow. Hummels was the man of the match. He is one of the best defenders in the world. PERIOD. I am glad he just signed a contract with Borussia Dortmund till 2017. I think you really saw how nervous the players were. It is a start of the tournament and you are facing a team that uses every single mistake. That goes for both teams. It will be a tough match against the Netherlands. They have to win, otherwise they are out already. |
Not necessarily. Itis possible for a team to lose two matches and still progress, provided one team in the group wins all three of their matches and the remaining three win one each and lose two. Although the rules were slightly different at the time, this group from the 1950 world cup is the best example I can thing of.

So provided one team run away with the group (in this case either Denmark or Germany) Holland could theoretically lose to Germany but if they Beat Holland and other results go their way, they could still qualify. This scenario rarely ever happens though.
