GROUP E

prediction

1. NETHERLANDS

2. CAMEROON

------------------------

3. DENMARK

4. JAPAN

The orange men win this group hands down and Cameroon and Denmark will will battle it out for 2nd giving Japan an early exit. Denmark is a much better team then people think, they qualified over portugal and sweden. However, look for Cameroon to make perhaps a 2002 Senegal like run in a familiar African atmosphere.

AFTER FIRST GAME...

After Cameroon surprisingly dropped points against Japan they will be forced to get points against Holland to have a chance of advancing, something I still think this team is capable of. The battle for 2nd is very much still open. I don't think Japan will get a result against Holland and if they don't get points against Denmark, they'll be done. At this point I think Denmark has the best chance to take 2nd because they have already played Holland but it will be impossible to predict who will advance after the Netherlands.
