Day 5: Germany vs. Portugal

[Sid84]

Nederland by far the most impressive team in the World Cup so far

 

[James_42]

Rui Patricio isn't very good.

 

[Wonder Pigeon]

Seriously some bad goalkeeping in this tournament.

 

[mancan92]

4-0 Muller

You have to think this might destroy Portugal's spirit.

 

[pseudo_canadian]

Muller already on pace for the golden boot. What a player.

 

[Bergin]

Muller might one day break Ronaldos record.

 

[gofelx]

Moutinho has been awful in this game

I'm honest, I haven't seen him at all in this game...

 

[#07]

Why does Nani get so much stick, his been Portugals only player causing a threat this half

Agree with this. Just look at that goalkeeping. What is Nani meant to do? Score 20 goals on his own? At least he's looked dangerous in and around the box. No other Portugal player has.

stonewall pen, didn't need to see replay

This too btw

 

[Mali_Zeus]

yup. He wouldnt have cared if they were 5 -0 down. He wants his chance to get a bit of spot light

He probably would have celebrated like in the CL final too

EDIT:
GOOOOLLLLLL

Yeah he wants a chance to take his shirt of.

 

[Zen]

So is there any point to Klose going for the record? Muller clearly breaking it.

 

[Sky1981]

Portugal is so shit

And it wasnt a penalty early on

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Moutinho has been awful in this game

Maybe rotting away in Monaco isn't helping.

 

[Raul Madrid]

Muller with a hattrick. What a player he is.

 

[Robbie Boy]

Muller is literally always in the right place at the right time. Brilliant player, all the same.

 

[Joemo]

Rui Patricio is terrible.

 

[James_42]

Why does Nani get so much stick, his been Portugals only player causing a threat this half

I'm not sure, and it's really bizarre, he's the only player for Portugal that's looked like scoring.

 

[thepolice123]

Ridiculous. He's only 25 this year and has already 8 world cup goals. And we are only at the first game.

 

[Moriarty]

Muller again. Could end up being top scorer again this year.

And I picked Ronaldo...

 

[Ludens the Red]

Top scorer this year? The guy will pass Ronaldo! At least two more World Cups to play in.

 

[Mali_Zeus]

Thanks, and let's hope so. We should if we don't show that proper Balkan complacency, play a good game against a top team and then think we'll beat the smaller teams without a problem. Same for you lot though, hope you make it through and don't think there will be too many problems.
Did modric pick up a knock by the way? Heard he did.

He should be ready. Maybe we wont risk him though.

Yeah we should forget brasil and beat cameroon, if we thought too much about 1st game we're in trouble..

 

[Lyricist]

Does Germany have any fullback on the bench.

Durm, a striker who was converted to a fullback by Klopp
and Großkreutz an AM who can play fullback and was taken to Brazil as that.

 

[SilentWitness]

8 WC goals and only 24. Scary.

 

[Bobtu]

How many goals does Muller have now in total?

 

[Señor]

Germany destroyed Messi (BPITW) and co 4-0 in World Cup 2010

Germany destroy Ronaldo (BPITW) and co 4-0 in World Cup 2014

 

[Zii]

He is in the top 3 wingers in the world. Not his fault managers refuse to play him regularly.

I hope to god you are joking. Ronaldo, Robben, Di maria, Hazzard are better to name just a few

 

[Raoul]

So...Muller now has 8 WC goals at the age of 24. Can see him get another 4 or 5 this tournament.

 

[Drifter]

Podolski to come on.

 

[pseudo_canadian]

Hope to see Klose against Ghana.

 

[Cooksen]

A 10 man team getting stuffed by Germany brings back bad memories

 

[Kostur]

What's the relationship between Portugal and Brazil by the way ? Can't tell if the Portuguese are getting booed because of Ronaldo or because of history(?).

No insult intended, just curious.

 

[Moriarty]

Podolski on. Should have given Klose the chance to score a couple.

 

[imperi]

virtually no contact at all. Also think the ref would never have given it since he set up that Portugal attack

No contact? Me as a neutral viewer, 100% penalty. He misses the ball intirely, and makes clear contact.

 

[7th level red]

clear to see we need to buy muller and sell rooney

 

[sizzling sausages]

So...Muller now has 8 WC goals at the age of 24. Can see him get another 4 or 5 this tournament.

Looks like he could beat the record eventually.

 

[Grinner]

Is this the goaliest tornament ever?

 

[gofelx]

How many goals does Muller have now in total?

8

 

[Mali_Zeus]

Portugal, terrible defence, terrible keeper, terrible midfield and attack too bar Ronaldo of course.

 

[Moriarty]

What's the relationship between Portugal and Brazil by the way ? Can't tell if the Portuguese are getting booed because of Ronaldo or because of history(?).

No insult intended, just curious.

Evil. See 1966 WC for details.

 

[Razvan]

At this rate, he's going to be the all time goalscorer by the time he retires.

 

[CrashDavis]

You would have gotten nice odds on him getting 3, but I suppose nobody saw this kinda score coming.
