Match Day Five: Starring: Fabio Coentrao, Pepe, Cristiano Ronaldo & Sami Khedira.

The Germany - Portugal game will almost certainly have four Madridistas starting.

World Cup Mondays are the best type of Monday!

Real Madrid fans should note that Fabio Coentrao, Pepe and Cristiano Ronaldo are all likely to start for Portugal in the day's opener against Germany. For Germany, the injury situation in midfield and defence means that Sami Khedira is also likely to start.

I'm sure we all wish them the best of luck and a fun and injury-free time.

Iran vs Nigeria and Ghana vs the USA (one of the newer and more interesting international rivalries after the Black Stars twice dumped the Americans out of the competition - most recently in the last-16 of the World Cup in South Africa) will play out later in the day.

This post will be updated throughout the day with scores and lineups as they are announced.
