NETHERLANDS VS. DENMARK
Group E, Johannesburg
Despite reaching the finals of the 1974 and ’78 World Cups, the Dutch have only one major title: the 1988 European Championship. Denmark also has a Euro crown, in 1992.
NETHERLANDS: Arjen Robben (hamstring) isn’t likely to play, but the Dutch are loaded with scorers, including Wesley Sneijder, Mark van Bommel, Rafael van der Vaart and Robin Van Persie.
DENMARK: The Netherlands defence is suspect, but Denmark striker Nicklas Bendtner (groin) could be out, along with forward Jon Dahl Tomasson.
TELEVISION: CBC, 6:15 a.m.
CAMEROON VS. JAPAN
Group E, Bloemfontein
Cameroon has had some discord, with former star Roger Milla criticizing current standout Samuel Eto’o. Japan has had no such disharmony.
CAMEROON: Eto’o helped Inter Milan win the Champions League. He’s the Indomitable Lions’ career scoring leader with 42 goals.
JAPAN: Midfielder Shunsuke Nakamura, a free kick specialist, leads Japan, which lost its last four friendlies heading toward the World Cup.
TELEVISION: CBC, 8:45 a.m.
ITALY VS. PARAGUAY
Group F, Cape Town
Paraguay President Fernando Lugo sent a letter to the players asking them to play for former striker Salvador Cabanas, who survived a gunshot wound and is still recovering.
ITALY: As always, defence is at the forefront, led by 2006 star Fabio Cannavaro and goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon.
PARAGUAY: The Paraguayans nearly won South American qualifying and have dangerous forwards Roque Santa Cruz and Lucas Barrios.
