Could argue a player should have been sent off for the penalty, was a goal scoring opportunity 

 

I thought that, was lucky to stay on.

 

Sounds strange saying this, but Germany haven't even played that well. Been in 2nd gear throughout, yet Portugal's defence and tactics have gifted them three goals.

 

Every time Ozil has the ball he has nobody pressuring him and he's picking out midfield runners with ease, and that's not down to Germany's fabulous movement, but more Portugal's woeful tactics.

The BBC called it a headbutt, so I had to have a little look at it. In what world is that a headbutt? It's not even a yellow card. Stupid refereeing

To be fair he did head butt him, and went out of his way to do it. Stupid move from him and he had to go.

It wasn't for the first contact, it wouldn't have even been given as a freekick I wouldn't think. Look at what he does after though. Stooping down for a headbutt, one of the stupidest things he could have ever done, and he had to go. Utterly stupid dismissal, but it was entirely his fault, he needed to control himself better.

Otherwise Germany starting as you'd expect. A very good side, and to be honest I'd rate them as favourites for the World Cup this time around. Definitely a penalty for the first, no issues there, a brilliant header from Hummels, and good composure to finish from that mistake for the third.

Touching heads is not a headbutt. Obviously Pepe was stupid and shouldn't have given the ref the opportunity to do it, but it's still a terrible decision. Ref had a perfect view of it as well.

He lent down and put his head into Muller's. It was an aggressive action against an opponent and he had to go, there is absolutely no question there. Utterly, utterly stupid action, you are not allowed to do that under any circumstances and there was no reason to do it.

So why was Muller not booked as well if the ref did not give a foul he should be for play acting

The referee's concern was the headbutt from Pepe. He can't know what happened with Muller there, and there was a hand across his face. It looked a bit soft how he went down, but the only issue here really to discuss was Pepe's action there. The referee didn't have a choice on that one, he had to go.

Wow... a teary eyed Ronaldo coming out of the dressing rooms. What ever happened to:
