Today is the day Ronaldo will make his debut in this year's world cup. It should be a close game.
Enjoy the match!

It should be, but I think Germany will win. I hope Germany are as entertaining as they were at the last World Cup.

Will be an interesting game. A German victory is certainly not a foregone conclusion.

Group G is a bit like Group B and D, very very competitive, think this will be a tough match

Has he had plastic surgery? I know hes had work on his teeth, which isnt the same. I dont mind the guy to be honest, he can be a dick at times, but hes still more well behaved than most of the English players. Hes not shagged his brother wife, slept with an prostitute old enough to be his mom or slept with a friends ex to name a few misdemeanours.

One thing for sure, he is one of the best around at the moment.

I think Germany will win today. Whilst Ronaldo can change the game, I think the Portugal team is a bit weak. I do expect Portugal to qualify for the next round though.

The two teams I expect to qualify from this group. Germany should just edge it with the advantage in overall quality.

Whatever the result today, I think this is the tournament when it'll all unravel for Loew and Germany.

This whole "exciting young team" that has "loads of potential" and "plays exciting football" (the same phrases we always heard about Arsenal) isn't really washing anymore.

Loew is squandering Germany's potential with his dodgy tactics (especially in semi-finals), poor defensive organisation and his team also has a weak mentality. I think a better manager (Hitzfeld or Heynckes) would have won something with this talented group by now.

Completely disagree. The only reason this team of pretty much mediocre players played so well in the past tournaments was because Low is one of the best coaches in the world. Germany has no superstars. They lose to strong teams (Italy and Spain) not because of tactics, but because of individual quality of players on the other side.

*bites*

No, it's because he's a smug git who falls on the floor in agony if someone so much as breathes on him

You mean like quite a lot of other footballers.

I do like watching that clip...everyone blames Ronaldo for Rooney getting sent of. Was it because Ronaldo grabbed hold of Rooneys leg and made him stamp of the Portuguese player?

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of those either, but Ronaldo is up there with the worst and I just find him incredibly smug.

I actually think Rooney was to blame for getting sent off, but that doesn't mean I liked Ronaldo winding Rooney up at the start of the match, or his wink to the manager. As a player I can respect him, but as a person I can't. I just don't like him.

I'll be wanting Germany to win because I think they're a great team and good to watch. Also, Portugal have sort of been closer to rivals for England in my opinion, knocking us out on penalties a couple of times, whereas I see Germany as a team beyond England's level and our games against them have tended to be incredibly civil.

Germany: Neuer; Boateng, Hummels, Mertesacker, Howedes; Khedira, Lahm (c); Ozil, Kroos, Gotze; Muller

Portugal: Patricio; Pereira, Pepe, Alves, Coentrao; Veloso, Moutinho, Meireles; Ronaldo (c), Almeida, Nani

Germany going with a defence full of centre backs. Should be interesting.

Germany should win this well enough. Portugal look decent but workmanlike bar Ronaldo, and who knows how fit he is? Germany have to deliver in this tournament after having promised so much in recent years.

ITV have put the Belgian flag by Patrick Viera's name instead of the French. Opps.

Chiles is already at it again ... the most "stars" in a match so far?

Really?

Think I'll do something else until kick off ... and at half time!!
