Germany demolish Saudi Arabia
Germany have taken Group E by the scruff of the throat after destroying an abysmal Saudi Arabia side 8-0. Miroslav Klose grabbed himself a hat-trick, with five other players getting on the scoresheet.
The Saudi's were embarrasingly poor, and Germany showed no mercy as they walked all over their defence. Germany have now moved up amongst the favourites at 15.00 to win the World Cup.
