...Germany faced a similar situation as the Russians had. Portugal had won its first two games in style, and possessed both the magic of Cristiano Ronaldo and a host of stylish players like Deco and Joao Moutinho. Germany was not about to trade scoring chances with that offense and opted for a much more basic approach. The Germans simply knocked over Ronaldo & Co. whenever they could - they outfouled the Portuguese 8-3 in the first half. Portugal coach Luiz Felipe Scolari had feared Germany's size, since it's a team that averages 1.849m (6.06 ft.). Yet it wasn...
...goal fest than grind it out 1-0 like the Italians. Yet Spain's game, says Keller, "is the style of game that everybody wants to see. Everybody has respect for Sweden.

In response, players such as Portugal's young sensation Cristiano Ronaldo have learned to dive and writhe on the ground the instant an opponent is within spitting range. Throw in trash talk, some of it outright racist in a Europe where African and Brazilian players flourish, and you can see why a player like Zidane might erupt...
