Oblasny SportKomplex Metalist — Kharkiv
Referee: J. Eriksson
Netherlands's key player: Arjen Robben. The Bayern Munich winger came closest to scoring against Denmark with an angled drive that hit the post in the first half but was guilty of wayward shooting in plenty of other occasions as his team failed to find the net despite raining down 28 shots on goal. Robben will need to be less predictable and more unselfish when he gets to the attacking third to ask questions of the German defence.
Germany's Player to Watch: Bastian Schweinsteiger. Schweinsteiger is one of the best midfielder in Germany. He is combative midfielder type has endured a rough patch at Bayern Munchen, where he was hampered by injuries and suffered a traumatizing defeat in the Champions League final against Chelsea. However, a fifth major tournament appearance with the national team gives him a chance to atone for those disappointments, and there are few players who can control the pace of the game as well as the 27-year-old.
