Euro 2012 Schedule: Start Times, Live Stream and TV Info for Day 6 Action

The first time around, the Group of Death didn't look so, um, deadly. 

Germany and Portugal both struggled to score for most of their match until Mario Gomez finally put the Germans ahead for good with a late goal.

And then there was Netherlands. Oh, Netherlands. Robin van Persie looked like the anti Robin van Persie and Arjen Robben's inability to find teammates made him look like he was wearing the sensory deprivator.

As a result, Denmark shocked the Dutch and moved out to an early lead in Group B.

Luckily for these countries, they get a shot at redemption to prove to the world they are still deadly. Denmark takes on Portugal while Holland battles Germany.

Let's take a further look at Wednesday's action.

Players to Watch

Denmark: Michael Krohn-Dehli

Krohn-Dehli was easily the man of the match against Holland, scoring the only goal in the 24th minute.

He put a brilliant touch on the ball to beat John Heitinga before slotting it home through Maarten Stekelnburg's legs. After the goal, Krohn-Dehli was dangerous all game, testing the goalkeeper a few more times. 

If Denmark is going to continue to shock the world, Krohn-Dehli is going to have to put forth a similarly productive game against Portugal's back line, which is much more solid than Netherland's. 

Portugal: Cristiano Ronaldo

The best player in this tournament was awfully quiet against Germany, as he was forced down the sidelines and was unable to make anything happen in the middle of the pitch.

As a result, he was forced to play balls in and hope for his teammates to make plays. The Real Madrid star swung in some good crosses, but he has to be more of a factor with the ball at his feet. 

Simon Kjaer, Daniel Agger and Denmark's back line was good against the Dutch, but Ronaldo absolutely has to make things happen with his wonderful ball skills and creativity. If he's not up to the task, Portugal may be looking at elimination. 

Netherlands: Robin van Persie

Van Persie was terrible against the Danes. He had a slew of opportunities inside the box, but he simply botched them all.

Whether it was a poor first touch or just shots well off target, van Persie did it all. 

After one of the best goal-scoring seasons in EPL history, van Persie needs to do better for his country. If not, the Dutch have no chance against powerhouse Germany, who should score plenty on Holland's porous defense.

Germany: Bastian Schweinsteiger

Honestly, just watch Germany's entire squad, especially the attacking half. 

Mario Gomez scored the game-winner against Portugal, but Thomas Muller, Lukas Podolski, Mesut Ozil and Miroslav Klose, among others, are all dangerous around the box. 

And the conductor of all that attacking goodness is Mr. Bastian Schweinsteiger, who combines precise passes with devastating runs and tackles like it's his job.

Oh yeah, it is his job. Anyways, just watch. It's truly beautiful. Moving on.

Predictions

Denmark 0-1 Portugal

Both countries are strong on the back half of the pitch, but Portugal is going to be much more desperate for a result.

Nani and Ronaldo are dangerous on the wings, and one of them will put something together for an early goal. After that happens, Portugal will drop back and play for the win. 

Germany 3-2 Netherlands

Get ready for the most exciting match of the tournament. 

Germany's attacking prowess plus Netherlands' deficiencies equals a lot of opportunities and goals for Germany.

However, Netherlands is desperate for a result and you can't forget about all the weapons it has on the attack. There is no way the Dutch play as bad as they did against Denmark, and they'll slot a few home, but it will be tough to keep up with the Germans.

No matter what happens, it will be a cracker of a match.
