Germany spends his eternal roller

The Germans were imposed 3-2 to Cristiano Ronaldo of Portugal in an open clash, which resolved tense and matched to the ball stopped. Partidazo of Schweinsteiger, Klose, Podolski and Ballack.

Germany imposed its implacable logic. Eliminated in Portugal based on physical strength and philosophical pragmatism. At the counter and a stationary ball. From a football in which the opposing goalkeeper was the only goal and addressed by the shortest route. He also knows the suffering when he was planted in front rates as Deco, who inoculated intelligent life to an inert ball, but at times transcendent goes ahead. Almost always.

The birth of the party launched a Germany different from that which had been ranked second in Group B, behind Croatia. More robust, more cohesive in the middle field, where new faces appeared, and Rolfes Hitzlsperger and Bastian Schweinsteiger as a player, relegated to the substitution in the preliminary stage of the championship and that was owned creditor eternal. Germany had decided not to give the ball to the Portuguese and did it without hanging on the rack their permanent obsession, the goal. The ball itself, but never without depth.

blackout Ronaldo

Portugal was the same as the previous late-night wine and roses. Style refined, satin ball, game by the wings, overflowing individually. Let however track of the suspect millonazos who have to pay some stratospheric for a player who rarely takes off when it is imperative to do so. It is not German, that's all.

the Portuguese hunted a burst of Germany. For the 25 minutes had a resounding 0-2. The first hole is dug Podolski, in a torn left that gave Ballack with a successful pass. Overcame the excellent side-Bosingwa be helped with a little help to find space for the center-and the small area appeared another athlete overwhelming: Schweinsteiger followed the play and found the shot point blank without sparing neither cuts. Direct goal. While Portugal revised its road map, Schweinsteiger became a lack of assistance in second goal, certified by Klose with a head of Orthodox auction.

A 10-Deco

Until then, the selection of Joachim Löw, who watched from the stage, through suspension, its international, had maintained possession of the ball to the Portuguese partner, or even higher. With the wide advantage and Portuguese pride wounded, resigned his piece of the ball without ever an occasion to discard feedback with a run fast in goal by Ricardo.

Deco became the master of the track well escorted by Simao and to a lesser extent, by Ronaldo. Also uncovered power, Regata and insistence the right side Bosingwa, a nightmare for Lahm, who received support from centrocampistas rewarding and forwards, especially Podolski, to try to arrest the Portuguese. In a combination of football clean, Deco found Simao, is deepened toward the distancing of Ronaldo and, although the 'megacrack' Now crashed his shot into the goalkeeper Lehmann, Nuno Gomes got the reward on a pitch that forced Metzelder was unable to divert by millimeters.

Germany is not the decanso bad wine, but what he drew from any doubt was the third goal, modelled on second. Launching a ball stopped Schweinsteiger, Ballack auction. It was the auction of semi-finals, although the referee should not be granted: the Chelsea midfielder Paulo Ferreira clearly pushed to get the ideal position for testarazo.

'Caminho' home

path of elimination of Portugal was charted. Only a 'megacrack' could ruin. And Ronaldo did not appear. Germany was left acorralar, all his men stuck to his goalkeeper. Followed the recital of Deco until he is finished gas. The infallible medicine for oxygenate muscles and brains would have been a goal early, but lusos took too long to find it. And before Postiga the mark compared to culminate with a good action Nani, Luiz Felipe Scolari had suffered some tremor those advanced by the Germans, in particular a obusazo not nailed that Podolski in the squad for a span of Ricardo .

Everyone in their field. Portugal goes on vacation in the head with his German and high covered by an itinerary without macula until its abrupt end in the quarter. And Germany already thinking about the finals, with more reasons than ever. (Source: elmundo)
