Watch Live Match Netharland vs Japan

The Netherlands face Japan here today with both teams in a position to battle for top spot in Group E, a position that would see them potentially avoid Italy in the second round.
The Dutch beat Denmark 2-0 in their first game while the Japanese shocked Cameroon 1-0 for their first ever World Cup victory on foreign soil. The African side play the Danes in Saturday’s late match.
Dutch coach Bert Van Marwijk said the familiarity with Denmark’s game made for a no-mistakes contest on Monday, but he was expecting a different challenge against the Japanese.
‘Now the players are more relaxed and less nervous after their opening game I expect a better performance against Japan,’ he said.
‘The opening game in a tournament is always difficult, and while our first-half performance was not up to our standard, we should have worked things out better over this week in training.’
But the Oranje, two-time beaten World Cup finalists in 1974 and 1978, will likely be without star Bayern Munich winger Arjen Robben, who has failed to recover from a left hamstring injury sustained in a 6-1 friendly win over Hungary just before the tournament started.
