Matchday One – Day Two – Dugout Discussion

Attention turns to Group B on day two of Euro 2012 with a couple of the tournament favourites in action this evening. The Dutch face Denmark in the five o’clock kick-off, with Germany following on to take on Portugal. There’s a whole host of Fantasy talent on show, then, with big expectations and captain’s armbands aplenty.

Our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open to soak up your thoughts as this evening’s lip-smacking ties progress.

The lineups for the early game are in:

Holland: Stekelenburg, Van der Wiel, Heitinga, Vlaar, Willems, Van Bommel, N De Jong, Robben, Sneijder, Afellay, Van Persie

Denmark: Andersen, Kjær, Agger, S Poulsen, Jacobsen, Kvist, Eriksen, Zimling, Krohn-Dehli, Rommedahl, Bendtner

So Ron Vlaar partners Johnny Heitinga in the Dutch back four with Joris Mathijsen missing out having seemingly failed to shake off a hamstring injury. Jetro Willems, at just 18-years-old, becomes the youngest player to feature in the Euro’s – he claims the left-back spot. Ibrahim Afellay gets the nod and is set to line up on the left of an attacking midfield three, with Robin Van Persie taking up the striker’s role ahead of Jan Klass Huntelaar as expected. Vlaar for Mathijsen is the only change to the lineup we predicted earlier in the week, then, while Denmark line up just as we expected – Stephan Andersen gets the nod in goal.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      I think there's room for both personally but the Dutch don't really play that way.

      Good point, would be great to sneak Ozil in as a captain as well today, that means you could have eight different captains this and next GW, if you hand a player from each team!!

      So what is the answer, with RVP possibly heading for a low score, would be great to have Ozil up today also....

        How did RVP do as a lone striker for Arsenal, in your opinion?

          Arsenal don't play this formation. They have plenty of players in the midfield so that RVP don't go deeper. Dutch have only 3 midfielders (Affelay is playing a winger), two of which are sticking to the defenders and are not involved in any build-up play.

    Dutch do not need 7 out of 11 players in defense (2 DMF included). They need to bring in VDV for De Jong, so that RVP don't have to go deep more often.
