Netherlands vs. Germany: Wednesday, June 13 at 2:45 p.m. ET on ESPN

The Netherlands did not expect to be in the position they are in, but that is what happens when they blow a game they should have won against Denmark.

Now they have a match against Germany that they cannot afford to lose.

This was always going to be a fantastic match, as these two teams were two of the favorites to win the whole thing, but it is going to be even more fascinating with the implications.

With the added importance of this game for Netherlands, you can expect them to give the tough Germans a run for their money. 

Denmark vs. Portugal: Wednesday, June 13 at 12 p.m. ET on ESPN

Germany and Netherlands aren't the only fantastic Group B match happening on Wednesday. This one promises to be terrific as well. 

Denmark rolls in fresh off of their huge win over Netherlands, while Portugal limps to this affair after getting shut out by the Germans. 

Portugal is going to have to step up their game and find a way to win this, or it is entirely likely that Group B will be all wrapped up by the second game. 

Spain vs. Ireland: Thursday, June 14 at 2:45 p.m. ET on ESPN2 

In terms of intrigue or drama, this one pales in comparison to the other two. However, it is still going to be a joy to watch because Spain will be out to flex their muscle.

Watching Spain play is always exciting. Their fast-paced and dynamic play is the trait of the world's premier soccer league.

Ireland looked terrible in their opener losing 3-1 to Croatia. If they perform that way in this one they could lose by five, and while this will be a blowout, it will be exciting.
