Match 23: Portugal V Germany 5pm BST - live from Fußball Arena München (ITV)

[craigcwwe]

Cracking game this. 

[Darius1998]

They counted that as a separate phase?

[skybluedave]

Portugal so ropey at the back. 

[georginho_juventusygr]

Is there another Englishman in front of the VAR screens?

[CFuller]

I am loving Portugal's Jamie Carragher tribute act right now. 

[Freakiie]

So the tactical change Löw made was to bribe the Portuguese defenders?

[Rob1981]

I mean this is surely Portugal managing their group games so they don't have to play England.

[Haguey]

Amazing how quick its turned around, top of the page 0-1 down looking out, bottom of the page 2-1 up, cruising

One of the most one-sided games so far.

Portugal doing absolutely nothing except for that one counter.

[BigV]

Wait was havertz not offside there?? 

[MIR17]

Regardless of results, Germany have definitely looked the best side in this group so far for all the pre-tournament talk of them being past it.

[georginho_juventusygr]

SHAMBLES.

German commentator said "Havertz is tearing everything down which is a CB"

He's taken a particular disliking to Pepe. 

[Marius_R]

Portugal have been rubbish, all that quality and they perform like that.. 

[Nordan]

I thought Goosens was offside.

[Nordan]

Apparently he wasn't.

[Tikka Mezzala]

Gosens should have aimed for a Portugal player there. 

[georginho_juventusygr]

Jota should have known better.

[Haguey]

The lines are out!

Love how quick it was. Keep watching PL. Even with English refs here!

[The Golden boy]

Random bird on the pitch

[john1]

RONALDO IS FURIOUS  

[Tikka Mezzala]

Really enjoying this. Germany taking the lead should make for a good second half. 

[BigV]

This bird is loving it on the pitch side isn't he 

[VamPook]

Can Portugal get knocked out?

[Haguey]

Yeah second half should be a cracker. Might be over quickly too though as Portugal will have to come forward and look like a bomb scare at the back.

[CFuller]

That first half alone would make up for a dozen Sweden/Slovakias. Already one of THE matches of the tournament.

They've scored two own goals and got nowhere against France. Don't think they've been the best based on a decent 45 minutes here and 20 minutes versus France

[Freakiie]

There's two random birds on the field, a swallow on the German side and a dove on the Portuguese side and neither of them want to leave their spots.

I thought having the lines on screen was the problem normally. USE THE NAKED EYE!!!

 

I can never get behind Portugal, they have talent and always play ultra defensive against anyone decent. Germany have been good up to the final third, then it's give it to the wing back and hope a dangerous ball comes to something, but at least it's a plan. I did enjoy that, if Pepe had a calamity goal that would be the icing on the cake.

They had the better chances against France. It was only poor finishing that stopped them winning. 

Germany would've beaten France 8 times out of 10 if you play that game over.

[Nordan]

Good half thanks to Germany.

What chances? They created so little. Must have been watching a different game if you thought they were unlucky or just bad in front of goal to lose that

No. 

[PMLF]

Such a generous team!

[HOORAY HENRIK]

Dixon is trying to play the miserable Lawrenson role. Lawro was actually funny with it sometimes though.

[Haguey]

Current 3rd place rankings

If Germany win then Portugal are top of this on GD.

Haha no. They had exactly one chance through Gnabry whereas France had a couple of disallowed goals.

France also had two goals disallowed for close offsides which were just lucky on the part of Germany, maybe they draw but 8 out of 10 is way off.

I think it's his natural tone, he doesn't sound like he cba like Lawro

You guys are lucky, on our feed we have Andy Townsend. Sounds like he left his crayons at home and is talking at 100 mph like my 4 year old when she is about to get an ice cream.

[DJ]

Excellent goal

[GunmaN1905]

This could be a battering.

[grff]

Portuguese wide open.

[Darius1998]

Gosens again causing all sorts of problems.

[thefmveteran86]

Well, that's Germany with 3pts

[TM]

this Portuguese defence

[CFuller]

3-1 Germany! 

Portugal didn't score an own goal!  

[craigcwwe]

Portugal giving Gosens the freedom of the pitch. 

[Haguey]

Gosens 

[BigV]

Just switched back on too, commentator really jinxed brunos words 

[georginho_juventusygr]

WHY IS GOSENS ALWAYS UNMARKED?!
