Wow, Ronaldo is on a roll!
He scored his last one to take the record of the most in Euros 12th goal for this one.
Germany looked good out of the gate but I think Portugal got on their horse after that disallowed goal from a hand ball by Mueller to deny it.

He justifies himself why he is still the GOAT 🐐,  Messi has nothing on him.

Sorry CR7 for this fixture am supporting Germany but am still a fan 😉
Update: two own goals from Portugal 🇵🇹 and Germany find themselves ahead  but there is a goal check now and it stands!

Portugal 🇵🇹 1-2 🇩🇪 Germany

This game is very intense. To be honest I was a bit scared to bet on this match - it is hard to predict a winner because both teams need a win and goals to make sure to advance. 2-1 for Germany right before the break it is already a lot more goals than in most other matches so far. Usually we saw that the most goals where being scored right before the end of the matches. At this point everything is open. At this point I will probably refrain from betting today and will just wait for tomorrow to pick a decent match for my bet.

Things are getting very uncomfortable for team in group F, I would have expected the world champions France and after defeating Germany would find it easy to win Hungary, with they could only pick-up a draw after griezman equalizer.
Portugal who won Hungary in their last match are level with Germany, this match is still on, and so it the group, I think the group is living to the name GROUP OF DEATH and with players from the group having press conference moment, making it even more exciting.

There you go.. Germany didn't took much time to cover the deficit to cover the early goal from Ronaldo. Honestly are doing well controlling the game right now and pressing the Portugal defense quite well. Portugal are also doing quite well attacking wise but Germany are much on the ball and they are trying on hard. I wouldn't be surprised if Germany win with 2-3 goal gap here today. As it stands, Germany now leads.

[RokokGudangGaram]

Germany leading 2-1 and I think I will also win it could well be that Germany will still win this group although it can still go a bit in all directions since France plays the last round against Portugal and Portugal could also win that, then would you even have France in 3rd place, that is not an unthinkable scenario. then they will continue as best number three with 4 points. we can see a lot of fireworks in the second half probably

[bitzizzix]

It was a very interesting match between Portugal and Germany and both were attacking each other blindly which overwhelmed the defenders and goalkeepers alike.
in the second half it looks like it will be more interesting and there must be a change of formation especially in defence, and Jermam also has to be careful with Portugal's dangerous counter-attacks and CR7 pace.

[3meek]

Germany is determined to win! The Portuguese were lucky with a counterattack... I think the second half will be even more interesting than the first one! I wish I had time to bet on Germany to win with the score 1-0... The odds were 4.3... It was a gift!

The wings are Portugal's biggest undoings.
The need to cover the wings, that’s Germany's tool.
I understand the inclusion of Williams and Danilo in the middle is to help mark since Christiano, Bernardo Fernandes and Diego aren’t supporting defensively.

[ingiltere]

Germany started very offensive as expected but they conceded a counter attack goal. Despite this goal they didn't change their game plan and found two goals just before half time. It's a great comeback, I don't think they will give any points after that lead. They are playing better and more motivated, they won't let any surprise to happen. Both goals are written as own goals but I particularly liked Havertz and Kimmich's efforts. Müller and Gnaby is also playing good.

[onecall123]

2 goals in just four minutes. Germany creates the pressure, and here is the outcome. I don't know whether Portugal truly need to proceed here, but let's see what will happen in the end. Silly mistake by Portugal, let's see if they come back strong in second half. Second half on the way....

Prior to the game, I knew Germany would come very much motivated to win the match and I wasn't disappointed. They took control of the game from the start of the match and wa just unlucky with that Portugal breakout counter after Kroos's corner. About the own goals, it's duly deserved. Germany has been putting constant pressure in Portugal's half since the match started and things like this (own goals) tends to happen when balls gets delivered in dangerous areas where anything can happen. There's still a lot of play time, so I've got my fingers crossed. We would know at the end of the second half.

I don't think Germany is playing well, it's just that the Portugal Defender doesn't seem motivated to win

With their current situation, they are only 3rd in the table, I chose Portugal in my bet and I still believe that Portugal can at least hold on to a draw with Germany.

EDIT: Looks like Portugal will lose Absolutely

It looks like Portugal is going to lose. Even though Germany lost to France in the first game, it remains a very strong team and they will also win this game as they lead 3-1. I see it going to be 4 or 5-1 rather than 3-3
it will all come down to the last game of the group next week

[Woodie]

Could it get any worse for the defending champions  Portugal??
Germany  are now firing 🔥 on all cylinders and looking dangerous upfront.

With half an hour to go, I fear for Ronaldo and team,  current scores Portugal 🇵🇹 1-4 🇩🇪 Germany

[Avirunes]

There we go, another goal and score stands 4-1 Germany in the lead with 3 goal cushion. Like I said earlier, Germany are attacking and pressing the defense quite well. They are attack in a very well coordinated manner and there we go 4-1 and maybe more to come the way Portugal defense are clueless against Germany's attack. A good entertaining match for Germany fans and backers today. They desperately needed the points after the france defeat and they will be having it today,

I think the Portugal players were in shock and  confusion with that quick goal their concentration is messed up then Germany quickly took this opportunity
Already 4 goals so far Germany is really on fire so I said no chance for Portugal today and maybe France and Germany go to the next stage.

At least we don't have to be bored in this match, 2-4 and already 6 goals. And there is still time, so maybe 2 more goals. 4-4 would really be a comeback, but I don't think that will happen.
germany is a team to be reckoned with, they are more experienced and more stable than Portugal

[KTChampions]

An excellent match, I was rooting for Portugal, but I must admit that the result is expected. Unfortunately, in the last match France - Portugal in the group, the French team will be very motivated due to a draw with Hungary and Portugal has very little chance in this case.
I hope Spain and Poland will also show super-productive football today.

Portugal squandered too much of an opportunity, from a lousy defender tonight (2 own goals) to poor play from the midfield.

I think they are still capable of advancing to the next round, but in that match (against France) they have to be more prepared than the last match.

[Koal-84]

The results today are very surprising for me. I would have guessed France a win and Germany would be a draw. Very strong performance from Germany and deservedly won, respect. Even if the Portuguese have officially scored 4 goals. In the last game today, I am assuming a clear win for Spain.
