Congrats to the German team and it's fans. I won't say it was a deserved win however, because we were really unlucky and we had the best opportunities in this game, plus we dominated the second half.

And for those who said Portugal played like Chelsea, then what did the German team did after scoring? You know what, say what you want, the reality was much different today.

I'm really proud of my team, even though we lost, because we showed guts and we showed we could have won this game if luck was on our side.

I think it was only  me as you well know that compared the Portuguese tactics in the first half to Chelsea, to be fair you played much better in the 2nd half, but with the talent on the field, why play so deep?

No matter, still the right result.

We only played deep on the last quarter of the first half, and I still say for you to compare the densities of both teams when either was attacking. Germany put much more defenders on it's backside and in front of the goal area than Portugal and that was much more nitid on this second half.

If anything, the team that showed a much more defend-first-and-counterattack-later was not the portuguese team. 

Of course you'll say it's the right result when that couldn't be further from the truth, but oh well.

Edit - And to those who still press the "Portugal was defensive" key, I find you really really funny , especially after that second part which showed who was the real defensive team in the game.
