Halftime: The Oranje and the Danes are scoreless

Not the free flowing, attacking football one would associate with the Dutch given all that firepower.
One possible chance with Van Persie but it falls on his less favoured right foot. His Arsenal team mate Nicholas Bendtner has looked sharper for the Danes just misdirecting his header off a cross.
The Dutch build up has been slow, too slow and while they have enjoyed lots of possession, they have run out of ideas in the final third. Simon Kjaer, the highly rated center back for the Danes has lived up to the hype, seeing of a Van Persie challenge. Nigel De Jong burnishes his credentials as a dirty tackling midfielder.
Dennis Rommedahl, the ex Addick has looked the best player for the Danes.
Update: Disaster for the Danes. Simon Poulsen tries clearing a ball from a cross which deflects disastrously off Daniel Agger into goal. Quite a thoughtless decision by the left back. The result: The Netherlands are up.
