For Germany's second goal, it was Miroslav Klose, not the biggest German at a mere 1.82 m tall, but he could have been no taller than a garden gnome and scored as he was completely unmarked, putting Portugal in a hole from which it never recovered. Ronaldo was still to be heard from, but Germany never figured to contain him for an entire game. Sure enough, in the 40th minute he came screaming down the left channel...

Unlike Ledezma, Jacob Goddard, 13, has a diet few urban teens would recognize. A typical meal at his family's Montana ranch includes beef carved fresh from local cattle, served with homemade bread and garden-grown vegetables. "Our beef tastes better than what you get at the store," Goddard says proudly, "because it's not full of antibiotics and it's fed grass, not corn."
