Germany 4-0 Australia!

Cacau the substitute scores. Germany are also preparing to bring on Mario Gomez. Don't be surprised if this goes to double figures.

Well this is good news for Ghana, although a draw (nil nil preferably) would be better.

After this performance Germany will definitely be one of the favourites. Still don't want to meet them in the Last 16...

My flag is the Prussian Flag which is my normal flag but usually instead it has a black and gold tiger head on it. To support Germany I put the Deutscher Fußball-Bund logo on my flag.... So that's Germany's Logo.

Well at the moment Germany would be seen as favourites. Spain will have to play an excellent game. Germany did everything right.

That was impressive. Does anyone else think that the red card wasn't deserved, though?

Yeah, but against Australia. Playing half the game with only 10 players.
As soon as they get an opponent that puts some effort into interrupting the build-up from the back into those attacks they might be totally helpless, for all we know.

True. Serbia should provide a much stronger defence and could be capable of holding back the Germans.
