Germany's Michael Ballack heads in the game winner. What was GK Ricardo thinking?goals:
Bastian Schweinsteiger (22) Miroslav Klose (26)
Nuno Gomes (41) Michael Ballack (62)
Hélder Postiga (87) Portugal's muffed defense on two set pieces allowed the rock solid Germans the space they needed to take the first quarterfinal match. All things being equal, the Germans just appeared to want it more -- charging and sacrificing their bodies time and time again to get the ball. Of course it's a lot easier to do when you're the tallest team (6' 1" avg.) in the tournament and you're playing the shortest team (5' 9").
