SOUNDBITE: (German) Joachim Low, Germany national team manager:

"I don't know if Ronaldo will play but Portugal is strong. Portugal are on an equal footing, they are always among the top 10 in the world rankings, are always strong in tournaments, they only went out on penalties in 2012 against the eventual world champions Spain, so, all-in-all, they have a very strong team with players who are all playing for top clubs. It will be a game on an even level, if Ronaldo plays we will have to find ways to control him, that will be important, but we know him well and we have means and ways to stop him."
