The shockwaves caused by the Netherlands men's 3-0 defeat at the hands of Spain last night are still reverberating around the Wagener Stadium this morning (Tuesday), although Pool B still looks a done deal. Spain are due to play Poland tomorrow, followed by The Netherlands v France. It would take a major upset for either of the pool leaders to come away with less than three points apiece.
Things are more open in Pool A. England's match against Belgium tomorrow will be crucial. The Germans will almost certainly pick up points and improve their goal difference when they play Austria, so the remaining semi-final place will be down to England v Belgium.
Monday's Results (all men's matches):
Poland 2 France 3
Belgium 3 Austria 0
