Hi,
We scored two goals quickly, one very good combination by Podolski and Schweinsteiger, and a header after a free kick. But the Portuguese never gave up and played well too. Unfortunately for them, our defense managed to neutralize their offense quite well, although we didn't manage to stop Ronaldo all the time - but then who can? They scored the 1:2 before the break, and they deserved it.
During the second half, another header after a free kick put us back to a 2 goal lead - Ricardo, Portugal's goalkeeper, clearly is one of their weak spots. They played all-offense then of course, and scored the 2:3 in the 81st minute, and 15 minutes of nail-biting ensued. I was completely exhausted afterwards, as was the rest of the pub I had been watching the game.:)Afterwards, the streets were crowded with people partying like we were European champions already. Great atmosphere to drink a couple of beers. :D

How was the match? Looks like a nailbiter.
