I actually feel a bit sorry for Portugal. A sending off, two nil down, Ronaldo nullified on the left.

Could be four nil or more come full time.

You're right. The ref has been excellent so far.

Should have been a red for the penalty IMO

[Jonathan Fairfield]

Good to see the German's beating the Portugese at Ronaldo's game. Keep on play acting boys, the Spanish wanabees deserve it.

[KhunKone]

Ahaha that was again a stupid aggressive attitude, and he's sadly used to it as you said...

Chok dee na khrap !

[wooloomooloo]

What play acting? Or am I missing something.

The unnecessary rolling around after a touch to the face that wound Pepe up.

[Jonathan Fairfield]

BREAKING: Live scenes from the German dressing room.

Portugal playing Almeida alongside Ronaldo....the equivalent of Ferrari using a goat as their no2 driver

[Yahooka]

Brilliant !! All the hype before this game......Germany against Ronaldo .The Germans have been in full control from kick-off and deserve they lead !!

In fairness he nearly lost an eyeball.

Full time

4-0 to Germany

Thomas Muller scores first hat trick of this World Cup.

Portugal were woeful. Ronaldo looked nowhere near fit. Germany didn't even really break sweat.

Take a look at my OP, told you this game would be worth staying up for!

A few days ago I said to a few people that I thought Germany would win the world cup. They all said I was crazy and laughed it off. Maybe it'll happen maybe it won't but how can they ignore what is a talented team.

Germany turned a training session into a stroll in the park.

One paper at least, this opening group G fixture looks like it will be well worth staying up for.

The build up to the match has been pretty dominated by Portugal's main man, Cristiano Ronaldo, in his battle to be fit for Portugal's first game.

The latest news on the morning of the game (Bangkok time) is that CR has been declared 100% fit to take on the Germans.

From the Germany squad, there are concerns over the fitness of Bastian Schweinstetger , who was airlifted to hospital on Sunday for tests on a troublesome knee. Phillip Lahm could move from his defensive role to to take up a position in midlfield, similar to where he has played for Bayern Munich for most of the season.

Germany played as a team, Portugal as a one man show(attempted).

[Taunusianer]

I loved it!!!

[meatboy]

pepe took the bait,if you look at it from the kick off they were winding him up,if he hadn't made the head movement after the german had gone down as if he had been hit with a sledge hammer even then after pepe had a close view of his nose the german was on his way down again but he changed his mind after pepe said something like.DO YOU KNOW WHO YOUR FATHER IS,if the ref had been up with play the german should have been sent off too.who said the ref.had a good game,lets see what the experts say about him.

[phutoie2]

Got to give to the Hermans, won every opening game at the WC since 1990.

I think the Germans are serious contenders and I would expect them to be there or thereabouts.
