Germany beat Portugal and go to the semifinals of Euro

The almighty Portugal reached the Euro with a halo of infinite superiority to be home after the first direct elimination match. 3-2 won Germany the whole Luso.

Germany, a team that has raised many doubts in the previous round, was picnicking at Portugal thanks to its superb accuracy. Arrived shortly, but all that was finished on the back of the net. In the 20th minute took the lead through the unspeakable Schweinsteiger, who would provide assistance while the second goal, this time from Klose.

With 2-0 against the party seemed to have a color, the white jersey of Germany. Go into halftime with two goals against is very difficult, and that it must have thought Nuno Gomes who made up the rebound from Lehmann to make it 2-1 on the scoreboard.

In the second part of the Lusos left wanting to conquer the world, but Ballack gave them back to reality, with a goal that put the 3-1 on the scoreboard and let sentenced the match. Germany is well, it has its effectiveness and that's enough and to spare. It is the breed of the great teams in the world, for something is the team that has more European Championships. As she once said Johann Cruyff: "Football is a sport that we all play to win then Germany.

Portugal turned to the attack as in the final minutes in a desperate game, ie, sending balls to the pot and won an award for the final five minutes. Helder Postiga put the 2-3 on the scoreboard and the Germans bottled in their area saying there was not going to a ball or more. Portugal's comeback failed to materialize and the Germans won.

Cristiano Ronaldo, the media star, the great 'crack' of the Euro, the best player in the world at that time, did not appear in the game, as in the above (removing the second of Portugal). Did we blame him or the media for having the snake on the cover? Well, what would you have me say it.

Germany will face the winner in the semifinals of Croatia - Turkey is playing tonight. I do not know who devised the system of crosses, but it's horrible.
