Germany 3 - 1 Portugal

It was a good game. It was played well, the officiating was unobtrusive without being lax and there were a couple of "beauty" goals. There was even a bit of comic relief. Portugal had a lot of corner kicks and on one of them they managed to have three men in front of the German goal each jump for and completely miss the ball. The ball was "textbook" where you want a corner kick to be. The funniest thing was that none of the Germans touched it either.

The one goal that Portugal scored on Germany was really nice to see and both goals that Germany scored on Portugal were poetry in motion. The other goal into the Portugese net was off the foot of a Portugese defender [ouch]

I got to see the pre-game show and the entire game then went with some friends to see the pixar movie Cars. Its pretty funny.
