BR - Portugal fought hard and created a few good chances to score, but in the end, they couldn't outdo Germany efficiency. The Germans themselves didn't have a great game, but they got the goal they needed and defended well for most of the game.
Portugal now needs to pick themselves up quickly if they still hope to advance from the Group of Death. Their performance was an improvement on their 1-3 loss to Turkey, but Portugal are now winless in four games in 2012 and running out of time to live up to their potential.
