There are no ear-rings, bling or designer hair styles with Thomas Müller, but in a beauty contest against Cristiano Ronaldo in Salvador, the German delivered emphatic proof that substance beats style every time when you score a hat-trick.
Müller, the winner of the Golden Boot at South Africa 2010, put the current
holder of the Ballon d’Or firmly in his place by leading Germany
to victory against Portugal
with the first hat-trick of this World
Cup.
How Ronaldo must wish he could play in white at the World Cup, just as he does
for Real
Madrid in La
Liga. Then again, Germany are one of the few teams that can probably
succeed well enough without him.
But in front of the watching German chancellor Angela Merkel, Joachim Low’s
team showed they are determined to lead Europe’s challenge in Brazil.
Despite having won just three of their seventeen previous encounters with the
Germans, Portugal went into this Group G fixture sensing the opportunity to
improve their miserable record against the three-time world champions.
