Group E: Denmark-Japan *** Cameroon-Netherlands

[Renew Deal]

Group E doesn't have the massive drama of Groups A-D, but there's still a lot of excitement over Denmark and Japan. Winner is in. Loser is out. And if it's a tie, Denmark is the loser.

Netherlands 6 +3
Japan 3 0
Denmark 3 -1
Cameroon 0 -2 (Eliminated)

Here are the scenarios:

Netherlands has advanced. Netherlands wins the group with:
(A) Win or a tie versus Cameroon
(B) Loss AND a Denmark-Japan tie
(C) Loss IF the Denmark-Japan winner does not make up tiebreakers

Japan advances with:
(A) Win or tie versus Denmark

Japan wins group with:
(A) Win AND a Netherlands loss AND by making up tiebreakers on Netherlands

Denmark advances with:
(A) Win versus Japan

Denmark wins group with:
(A) Win AND a Netherlands loss AND by making up tiebreakers on Netherlands

Cameroon has been eliminated.
