PORTO: Ruud van Nistelrooy is probably the last striker Germany's nervous defenders want to meet in their current frame of mind but he is the first they will face at Euro 2004 when they play Holland today.
Germany, three-time European champions and runners-up in the World Cup final two years ago, have had a poor build-up to the European Championship, leaking soft goals to lose 1-5 to Romania and 0-2 to Hungary.
