Steve Freeth
Steve Freeth looks ahead to Portugal and Brazil's first outings in Qatar, following Spain and Germany's differing fortunes on a fascinating Wednesday.
Spain enjoyed a sensational start to their World Cup campaign as they dismantled a poor Costa Rica in Group E. Luis Enrique's men scored seven without reply to send a message to the rest of the competition.
However, it was a disastrous start for Hansi Flick's Germany, as they threw away a lead to lose 2-1 to underdogs Japan in the same group.
PR man Steve Freeth gave his thoughts on both games, before looking ahead to Portugal v Ghana and Brazil v Serbia, where some big names are set to take centre stage for the first this tournament.
