What horrible finishing by the Kraut's - shots way off target with numerous goalscoring opportunities.
Germany with interesting players on the bench, think they need something fresh to open Portugal up. Joggi Löw very unhappy before halftime, hairdryer treatment and sie germans are fine.
Amazing Portugal lost that, bad finishing. With their luck and good strike force Germany will go far!
Germany had all the pressure on them tonight, opening match always a hard nut to crack. Doesn't help when all Portugal do is employ Chelsea tactics and hoping to ride it out at 0-0. It's a shame they couldn't have started the game the way they played after going 1-0 down. I had them both to escape the group with both meeting again in the final with Portugal eventual winners before today, nothing has changed my mind tonight as this was always going to be a slug fest.
Low should of picked Klose instead of Gomez,ok he scored but he missed a few chances that Klose would of burried. Portugal played negative football until Germany scored then it was too late.Apart from the two shots they had on the woodwork,the Germans defended very well indeed.
The list of women on Mario Gomez' sperm donation will certainly have doubled after his goal tonight. The women love him out there. Crap match though, but if Germany can win by not playing great then it can only bode well for them.
They have, they are always a team that seems happy for games to go to pens, they played for a draw from the start today. I could understand a team like Denmark doing it but Portugal should attack more.
