Goodness me. Germany have a goal disallowed for a foul. Against them. Bastian Schweinsteiger, Philipp Lahm and Lukas Podolski exchange passes around the Portugal penalty area before eventually feeding Mesut Ozil, who manages to play a clever pass to Mario Gomez while being fouled by Raul Meireles. Gomez turns and fires into the bottom corner, but the referee has already given a foul. Granted, Portugual's defence had stopped playing after the whistle, but it's the principle of the thing.
Germany Vs. Portugal, Euro 2012: Germany Goal Disallowed For... Foul Against Germany?
Anyway, Podolski belts the free kick straight into the wall, and Portugual are completely let off the hook. A few minutes later and Podolski is at it again, skying a very easy chance after being fed in the area by Mesut Ozil. I’m really not very sure why he’s starting. Now that I’ve said that, he’ll get a hattrick.
