and my beloved germany moves on to the semi's!

well..Bastian Schweinsteiger finished a flowing move to put his side 1-0 up midway through the first half before setting up Miroslav Klose for Germany's second shortly afterwards, but Portugal cut their lead in half through Nuno Gomes minutes before half-time.
Michael Ballack made the most of generous Portuguese defending to increase his side's lead on the hour mark, before substitute Helder Postiga gave Portugal hope with a late header.
Germany will face either Turkey or Group B foes Croatia in the last four while Portugal, for whom Cristiano Ronaldo was largely anonymous, are left to reflect on the defensive lapses that spelled their downfall.- adapted form yahoo sports
