@MeladT
Messi 4 key passes Muller 2, Messi 7 successful dibbles Muller 0. Messi had the game on his shoulders, while Muller is just a target man. But still 3 goals should be very near to 10, I agree.
I don't even have to say it, muller should have a rating of 10, he didn't even play a full 90 minutes, and it's against Portugal who are much harder than Bosnia. Messi has them overrated ratings haha even tho I love Messi whoscored need to stop with the wrong ratings!
@whoscored its not fair if a person who comment like a crap and keep on posting some dirty stuff and u r not deleting those comments, but if i offend him then u r deleting my comment. I dont bother about it but please ban these kind of guys which is not good for this forum.This is the forum to have their views and healthy discussion
How does Muller, with a hat trick, get the same rating as Messi yesterday, who didn't have that great of a game other than the one goal? Is it because his name is Muller and not Messi?
Weird game. Fair win for Germany, but nevertheless Portugal took every piece of curse they could have received: bad luck (specially injuries), bad referee decisions, several players underperforming, early red card. The result is normal but too wide.
@Belz God here we go again... Ronaldo sucked, sir. Once again. If you noticed that happens quite often in the national team. And yes Portugal didn't perform well. But no, don't tell we didn't suffered also from the bad luck of the game.
Holy, Özil. Is he that.. nonhazardous too for Arsenal? I remember him squandering a lot of clear cuts back in the day, I honestly thought Wenger would've made him better in that specific attribute.
This is the referee's debut at a world cup. Why the f*cking hell are they awarding the toughest matches to the worst referee's?! This match should have been whistled by a top 10 referee!
@kamso If the rule is to give a red card for that then they need to change that rule. It's just bad behaviour, it's not dangerous, give him a yellow for that. There's plenty of bad behaviour on the pitch that is not sanctioned.
Portugal down to ten with Ronaldo and Nani both on the field. If they want to get anything out of the match you think they would need them both on, but their defensive work rate is not their strongest asset to say the least - so a big risk with ten men. If Germany feel like going for it and bringing on a finisher like Klose, Schürle or Podolski they could get a few more goals out of this match. If not then they will probably just move the ball around at their own pace and maybe snatch one or two more.
Oooh Müller's just scored as I'm typing this, haha. Will be interesting to see how they line up after the break.
@ronaldinyo Good analysis. Could have been a good game but Portugal is now destroyed. This will probably have a bigger scoresheet then Spain vs Netherlands. A comeback from Portugal is unthinkable.
@libero Oh my word your name is Libero, that's my other user name that I like to use on some forums. Spooky! And I agree, no hope for Portugal. Germany playing it safe though I don't think they want to risk going too intense and tiring. I was looking forward to seeing Nani play because I think he has a point to prove after his career has stalled at Man Utd, but he won't have the freedom now. Portugal to get knocked out at the group stage? What do you think?
@ronaldinyo You have good taste in names I guess xD. I believe Portugal might pass it will depend on how they will react to this game. However, I think that it must be cleared: Portugal is a small but hardworking country (but nevertheless small). We can't expected them to be favorites only because they have Ronaldo. They already grew so quickly into becoming one of the fiercest national teams at the moment. As for Nani, he made an excellent Euro 2012, but has hit rock bottom most recently. I wasn't expecting for him to shine :/
@libero Yes, Portugal do very well to be consistently ranked among the best teams in the world. I agree that people shouldn't expect too much just because they have Ronaldo, but, at the same time - having seen their performance tonight - I think they will need him to play well over the next two games to make it through. USA and Ghana are both good sides - not as good as Portugal on paper, but tough opposition nonetheless. Should be an exciting finish to the group!
@ronaldinyo Agree 100%. Ronaldo is, nevertheless, the best player in the world (on paper) and needs to perform well more consistently to live up to that distinction.
Boateng at RB = German hara-kiri - Hopefully Lahm plays RB and Durm plays LB. Hummels and BFG CB. Kroos and Khedira can play holding midfield and Schurrle,Ozil,Muller attacking midfield. Gotze as false 9. This german squad ( even without Reus) has the potential to maul Portugal - but I think this will be a close affair.
@rust.cohle
have you seen Boateng playing against Ronaldo at the last Euro?
Ronaldo didn't had a great game. He fits physically much more to Ronaldo than Lahm
definitely not boateng either at rb or cb coz that is quick for given his huge size but not quick enough. he has no tactical discpline and germany conced 2 goals against cameroon just becoz of boateng. he is not agressive in his challanges like Hummel, Juan or Howedes yet he is prone to commiting alot of fouls. One thing is for certain Boateng must not start, just coz he plays for Bayerns does not mean he is good look at Pique for example.
@Ffaris
have you seen Boateng playing RB against Ronaldo at the last Euro? Ronaldo didn't had a great game. He fits physically much more to Ronaldo than Lahm
Noone of played matches have ended in a tied score yet; and Honduras is the only one team who has not scored; following that trend, I'm a little inclined to Germany 3-1
I think Portugal may pick up a surprise victory here. With little pressure on portugal, CR7 will crush the German defence. Also I think WS German team prediction is BS. Kroos will probably play central defence mid with Lahm at full back.
Lahm should play as a defender, there are plenty of great DMs in the german squad. And Khedira? One of the weakest points, he's overrated moreover he was injured this year for quite long.
@danianevem
have you seen Boateng playing RB against Ronaldo at the last Euro? Ronaldo didn't had a great game. He fits physically much more to Ronaldo than Lahm
and Schweinsteiger is a bit more unfit than Khedira right now, he did a good and consistant comeback after his injury
@varna i think that too. its a mistake to move lahm in the midfield because in the midfield there are better alternatives (Khedira, Schweinsteiger, Kroos, Kramer) than in the defence (Boateng Höwedes Durm Großkreutz).
khedira is the best defence midfielder we need beside a offensive creative part like schweinsteiger or kroos not lahm!
I think that it will be a big mistake if Low uses Howedes as a RB here, Lahm should play there, and Khedira-Shcweinsteiger should control easily the midfield. 1-0 for Germany i would say - Muller or Schweinsteiger!
@VarnaBG Höwedes is never gonna play as RB, he is thought of to be a LB. Lahm is to play in Midfield for shure !Khedira is not gonna start at all and neither will Schweinsteiger. The DM will be Lahm and Kroos. Since Germany is not playing counter attack style anymore Löw wants to have a more defensiv oriented backline consisting of 4 centerbacks that stay back. So he he has more room to put on another Midfielder for ballcontroll...
@sun, God. there must of been a bucketload of swearing there
@MeladT Messi 4 key passes Muller 2, Messi 7 successful dibbles Muller 0. Messi had the game on his shoulders, while Muller is just a target man. But still 3 goals should be very near to 10, I agree.

@MeladT Portugal much harder than Bosnia? In your dream

I dont bother about it but please ban these kind of guys which is not good for this forum.This is the forum to have their views and healthy discussion
@sun All of you need to grow up.
Nice clear out
We need to post a few comments to bump down the rubbish
How does Muller, with a hat trick, get the same rating as Messi yesterday, who didn't have that great of a game other than the one goal? Is it because his name is Muller and not Messi?
@hamburglar national facor germany *0,8
Ban these idiots already Whoscored. It's getting out of control now.
Weird game. Fair win for Germany, but nevertheless Portugal took every piece of curse they could have received: bad luck (specially injuries), bad referee decisions, several players underperforming, early red card. The result is normal but too wide.
@libero Are you crazy?Portugal totally sucked.Stop giving excuses.You are obviously you are CR7 fanboy.Pathetic really
@Belz God here we go again... Ronaldo sucked, sir. Once again. If you noticed that happens quite often in the national team. And yes Portugal didn't perform well. But no, don't tell we didn't suffered also from the bad luck of the game.
@libero underperforming lol germany dont let portugal let perform!
@wawa "Fair win for Germany" I never said Germany didn't played well (much the opposite). But the fact is the game wasn't played toe to toe.
@libero I totally agree with you
Bad game
who will be the topscorer of this world cup? (again)
As a german I have to say that the ref is definatly in favour of Germany ...
@neumi17 I think so too.
@neumi17 you are an african, dfo you think I don't know you?
final score germany 5-0 portugal
Also, wow, that pitch is a joke. Get well soon, Fabio. Those injuries are thre worst, especially when there's nobody else involved.
Holy, Özil. Is he that.. nonhazardous too for Arsenal? I remember him squandering a lot of clear cuts back in the day, I honestly thought Wenger would've made him better in that specific attribute.
ronaldo is so bad
@destro567 No. Portugal are mediocre and playing a very good side. It's hardly Ronaldo's fault and it doesn't make him bad.
nice work for your country pepe lol
ghana and usa is not an easy oppenent,if portugal wants to stay them they need to quickly bring jose to park bus, infact u need aeroplane
ya Pepe is dumb lol
@Redhawkz I'm portuguese and I agree with your opinion but I think that the punishment was to heavy, an yellow card for both would fit better.
@Redhawkz Nah, just unable to control his anger. Might have had a difficullt childhood where he wasn't allowed to express his anger.
Pepe go in fight arena, football is not 4 u :D Mulleeeeer
@kreizi lol
@RelentlessPressure what?
The problem of the Portuguese team is Rui Patricio...Eduardo is much better or even Beto
This is the referee's debut at a world cup. Why the f*cking hell are they awarding the toughest matches to the worst referee's?! This match should have been whistled by a top 10 referee!
I just wanted to watch an interesting game but that is not possible now. Not a penalty, and not enough for a red card!
@Ivannnnn wasn't a penalty, but that is a clear red card. How can you make a HEADBUTT and not get a red card.
@kamso If the rule is to give a red card for that then they need to change that rule. It's just bad behaviour, it's not dangerous, give him a yellow for that. There's plenty of bad behaviour on the pitch that is not sanctioned.
pepe vs ramos. Who will end up their career as the most red carded player. I m confident ramos will beat him
@sun Ramos has amassed 19 red cards LOL
@sun but it will be a very close battle!

Disgusting Pepe. Müller is not known for flying off the handle, I wonder what he said to him
@Cherk What're you on about. Muller was the one play acting. Pepe's reaction wasn't worthy of a red.
@HalaMadridGOAL I know Müller overreacted as well. That's why I mentioned him not being known for doing so.
Pepe red carded... Portugal will suffer more than two goals :/
Lol at pepe
No Klose. No party.
Boateng at RB = German hara-kiri - Hopefully Lahm plays RB and Durm plays LB. Hummels and BFG CB. Kroos and Khedira can play holding midfield and Schurrle,Ozil,Muller attacking midfield.

@rust.cohle have you seen Boateng playing against Ronaldo at the last Euro? Ronaldo didn't had a great game. He fits physically much more to Ronaldo than Lahm
boateng is not even half the player pique is.
definitely not boateng either at rb or cb coz that is quick for given his huge size but not quick enough. he has no tactical discpline and germany conced 2 goals against cameroon just becoz of boateng. he is not agressive in his challanges like Hummel, Juan or Howedes yet he is prone to commiting alot of fouls.

Noone of played matches have ended in a tied score yet; and Honduras is the only one team who has not scored; following that trend, I'm a little inclined to Germany 3-1
@dib Cameroon lost 1-0 to Mexico
@WilliePete You're right my bad, thanks for correct me
all predictions are 1-1 wtf
I think Portugal may pick up a surprise victory here. With little pressure on portugal, CR7 will crush the German defence. Also I think WS German team prediction is BS. Kroos will probably play central defence mid with Lahm at full back.
Going 3-1 Germany, think Bastian Schweinsteiger will start ahead of Khedira if he is fit, Boateng at LB. I'd like Goetze to start
2-0 for Germany
2-0 or 2-1 for Portugal
This is going to be one hell of a match! Just wait and see! I predict a high scoring game and a big player injury.
@MeladT 3 goals with 20 minutes to go and Coentrao injury. You're right.
Won't and will never trust who scored.com predictions they predicted 1-0 spain vs ned . 2-1 Hummels Ozil,CR7
Lahm should play as a defender, there are plenty of great DMs in the german squad. And Khedira? One of the weakest points, he's overrated moreover he was injured this year for quite long.
@danianevem have you seen Boateng playing RB against Ronaldo at the last Euro? Ronaldo didn't had a great game. He fits physically much more to Ronaldo than Lahm and Schweinsteiger is a bit more unfit than Khedira right now, he did a good and consistant comeback after his injury
really Ronaldo wont play?
gotze in center fw? seriously? More like Klose.
@birw1 you are right! kross will play!
Ronaldo and Ricardo Quaresma will not play against Germany
ronaldo will try everything he can, so not a surprise when he netted a hattrick
ronaldo will try everything he can, so not a surprise when he netted a hattrick
@SoccerAnalyst If Ronaldo nets a hattrick would be an enormous surprise ! Maybe the biggest upset in sport ever...
why not kross on midfield??? why not boateng on RB??
@birw1 because whoscored previews are quite screwed..
3-1 but difficult match
@varna i think that too. its a mistake to move lahm in the midfield because in the midfield there are better alternatives (Khedira, Schweinsteiger, Kroos, Kramer) than in the defence (Boateng Höwedes Durm Großkreutz). khedira is the best defence midfielder we need beside a offensive creative part like schweinsteiger or kroos not lahm!
why not boateng? source?
4-1 Germany. Goals from podolski and ozil and klose
3-1. Gotze and Podolski to score.
I think that it will be a big mistake if Low uses Howedes as a RB here, Lahm should play there, and Khedira-Shcweinsteiger should control easily the midfield. 1-0 for Germany i would say - Muller or Schweinsteiger!
@VarnaBG Höwedes is never gonna play as RB, he is thought of to be a LB. Lahm is to play in Midfield for shure !Khedira is not gonna start at all and neither will Schweinsteiger.

FORÇA Portugal, Ronaldo and Co.
Germanyy !
