· The German national football team are among the most successful in the history of the FIFA World Cup. Only Brazil have played in more finals and won more titles. The Germans first claimed the trophy in 1954, causing shock waves when they defeated the clear favourites Hungary 3-2 in the final.
· Twenty years later Germany won their second title, this time on home soil. In the final in Munich they came from behind to beat Holland 2-1. A key member of the 1974 team was Franz Beckenbauer, manager of the German team that 16 years later claimed a third World title.In the Italy '90 final Germany beat Argentina 1-0 with a late penalty. The German team have never lost an away game in the qualifiers to date.

- Facts
Portugal qualified for their first FIFA World Cup finals in 1966 and caused something of a stir on their debut appearance. Trailing 3-0 to Korea DPR in the quarter-finals, the Portuguese recovered to win 5-3, thanks in large part to four goals from Eusebio.
In their 1966 semi-final Portugal fell 2-1 to the eventual world champions England. In the play-off for third place they beat the USSR by the same score. Eusebio was the top goal scorer of the tournament with nine goals to his name.
In 1986 the Portuguese packed their bags after the first round despite a win against England. The same fate awaited them in 2002. They were eliminated in the first round after an unexpected 1-0 loss to Korea Republic in their final group game.
