Match of the Day Live - 2010 FIFA World Cup - Denmark v Japan

Gary Lineker introduces live coverage of the potentially decisive Group E match in Rustenburg, with Denmark and Japan hoping to secure a place in the knockout stage. Japan are appearing in their fourth consecutive World Cup and reached the last 16 in 2002 when they co-hosted the tournament. They face a tough task in a group which also includes the Netherlands and Cameroon but have become an increasingly strong football nation, while Denmark also know a thing or two about upsetting the odds. The Danes, who were crowned European champions in 1992, have been to three previous World Cups and made it past the group phase on each occasion.
