‘No secrets’ as Dutch set to face familiar Denmark

NETHERLANDS coach Bert van Marwijk concedes there are “no secrets” between his team and opening World Cup opponents Denmark ahead of their clash in Johannesburg today.

The Dutch, perennial under-achievers at global events, are again amongst the favourites for the crown in South Africa, but their first challenge is to progress from Group E, which also includes Japan and Cameroon.

But first up for the Oranje are their European counterparts, who have plenty of knowledge of their opponents due to the number of Danes that ply their trade in the Eredivisie.
