Only got half an eye on it at the moment but looks like there's been far more action than the whole of there last match against France!

Portugal's goal was a smash and grab.

Stats show Germany dominating and deserved to be in front.

The caveat there is Germany were abject for Portugal's goal and both Germany's goals were own goals. Plus, I swear I saw the 2nd german 'goalscorer' being reassured that he hadn't scored and it was an own goal.
An interesting half to come. Then Spain. Yippee!

Holy crap that Sanchez shot was the closest I've seen to a crossbar snapper in a long long time, pure venom! :shock:

Still not convinced by that Germany performance. 2 own goals. After that they have no choice but to win unless every player wants to be a pariah.

Wow! I didn't know you could see where a player's gonna aim the ball. :lol: That was quick thinking/reactions!

The first time I saw it I thought the player was injured. :lol:

How can a foul be worth a penalty when the player hasn't even got the ball?
