He literally just put his face on muller's face. No amount of replays will change that into a "headbutt". You see that on a ton of games and it's always Yellows for both players. Muller was digging for a red card, and he got it. 

I'm not saying that Pepe's attitude was the correct one, but if that's a Red card, no football game ever would end up with 11 vs 11. 

Well, GG Germany. If I were Bento, I would just sub Ronaldo and Nani out, don't tire them for US and Gana.

I agree, I wouldn't call it a headbutt but its the rules of football. Any deliberate clashing of heads, no matter what the power, is a headbutt. That has to be a red by the rules, but if it was up to me I would give a yellow.

Its not like US or Ghana are tough opponents though.
