...Then it was time for Schweini and Germany to play what U.S. goalkeeper Kasey Keller calls "Monsters in the Box." It works this way: Germany wins a free kick and then Schweinsteiger whips the ball into the area where any number of German players attack it. 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...
...German scheme to bottle and bump Ronaldo would hold up, unlike Portugal's dead ball defense. If there's one thing Greece's championship run taught us, it's that every dead ball situation is a potential match winner. And having already allowed a goal on a set piece you'd think Portugal's D would rise up. Nope. In the 61st minute German captain Michael Ballack, having conveniently shoved his marker out of the way, was there to meet another free kick for a 3-1 lead. A frantic Portuguese comeback would yield a goal from Helder Postiga...
...Anheuser-Busch is the legacy of an enterprising German immigrant named Adolphus Busch, who married the daughter of a middling brewer, Eberhard Anheuser, in 1861. Brewing the blond and foamy lager of his native land and seizing on the science of pasteurization, Busch "brought bottled beer to the masses," in the words of biographers Peter Hernon and Terry Ganey. At Busch's death in 1913, A-B was the biggest beermaker in the country - a distinction the company never relinquished, despite a near death experience during Prohibition...
...Germans, on the other hand, are searching for the team that ran Poland off the pitch in the opening match. The one that lost 2-1 to Croatia and got by Austria 1-0 thanks to a Michael Ballack free kick blast doesn't appear to pose much of a threat to Portugal. And the Germans will be without their coach, Joachim Löw, who is serving a one-game suspension for getting dismissed during the Austria match. Although a second choice Portugal side lost to Switzerland - which salved some wounds for the co-hosts - tonight there will...
...charm to get away with it. He used it on Saturday Night Live as young Simon, of course, and as basement TV host Wayne Campbell, and once or twice as Linda Richman. Austin Powers occasionally flashed that someone-stop-me grin through his misshapen English teeth. (Dieter the German performance artist and Shrek, not so much.) The Cat in the Hat was nothing but irritating-ingratiating impishness. And for the longest time - it's nearly two decades since he joined SNL - when Myers smiled, audiences smiled back. They were his co-conspirators in preadolescent aggression...
