Live coverage from St Jakobs Park, Basel, as Portugal take on Germany. Portugal are the favourites going into this game but Germany will be spurred on by their enigmatic captain, Michael Ballack. K.O. 4:15am

[Bomber]

Tough one. I'll say 0-0 after extra time and Germany to win on penalties.

[Judge Judy]

If portugal can score early, it will be tough for germany
I think 2-1 to the portugal, germany were very poor against the Croats
Coach is a tosser, looks like a dark haired david bowie

As I said in the italy thread teams that do well often start slow in tournaments and I think we'll see an improved Germany come out to take on Portugal and take it to penalties, to do what Germany usually does in penalties.

[Juventino]

Germany to win. haven't decided on a score yet

[Quaro]

Portugal 2 - 1 Germany

Not really sure, Portugal should get through but they have some major flaws that the Germans can expose. Portugal doesn’t defend crosses well and the Germans are a very tall team. Ricardo looks like he is doing his best to help the opposition score, he makes far too many mistakes. Portugal also commit too many to attack and can be caught on the counter.

The Germans haven't looked good at all though. Ronaldo will want to impress so he could win it by himself if he shows up. Should be a good game.

[Madridista612]

I'm torn here, frankly I don't really give half a sh*t about either team in terms of supporting them but for pure entertainment i'd have to say Portugal because they play better but I want to find out what happens with the Ronaldo saga and whether he does join Real Madrid or not so, I kind of want Germany to win in that sense. 2-0 Portugal is my prediction though.

[Rocky10]

1-1 after full time.

Goes to extra time where Portugal score and Win 2-1 to progress

[The Kop]

Germany still riding off their home crowd inspired WC semi final run and IMHO a bit overrated.

Portugal comfortably.

[Klinsmann]

Picking with my heart - Germany (don't care how, just hope they do)

Have not looked good at all.
Bench Gomez. Hasn't produced the goods.

[BAGGIO 15]

Portugal seem to draw the Germans to their left then switch it for a 1v1 after they've double teamed Ronaldo, it will work, great ploy.

Great defence of a corner, Ronaldo lost Klose and paid for it.
