WORLD CUP 2014: Germany 4 - 0 Portugal

This was one of the most anticipated battles of the opening round of matches. Germany, one of the favorites to win the World Cup, taking on Portugal, led by perhaps the best player in the world in Ronaldo. "The Superpower versus the Superstar".

Portugal fell apart, and a cool Germany took full advantage. Thomas Muller notched a hat trick as Germany ran over 10-man Portugal 4-0 in its opening match of the 2014 FIFA World Cup on Monday.

The Germans went up 2-0 before Pepe lost all control of his emotions in the 37th minute.

The Portuguese defender headbutted Muller after the Germany striker went down under his challenge. Pepe was sent off, Muller scored shortly after, and it was pretty much over at halftime.
