One goal after the next. Germany just steamrolled portugal to kickoff their World Cup Campaign in style. The score of course 40. The germans put on a sizzling show off of attacking prowess highlighting their strong chance of winning the main event in brazil. Germany has scored four goals in each of their opening matches in the last three world cups. Lets take a look at how they do it. Thomas miller was top scorer at the world cup in 2010 and is off to a great start in brazil too. First a penalty after 12 minutes. The referees decision to point to the spot was debatable. Germany pressed on and a corner was met perfectly. 20 after half an hour. With temperatures running high the portuguese defender was sent off. Mueller knocked in his countrys third just before the halftime break. Portugal wilted under the pressure but germany couldnt build on their advantage until 11 minutes before the end when he sealed the man of the match performance with a hat trick to complete the 40 rout. Lets bring in art from our sports desk. A fantastic score, but how significant is this win for the germans over portugal . Well it is very significant considering the portuguese are considered one of the better teams from europe and have ronaldo on their team. He was basically invisible in this match. Played out most of the time. He had a good free kick that was saved. But basically he was not in the game. Germans proved they have depth and got over their loss of marco royce, a dangerous forward injured just prior to the tournament and cant play. They also had luck on their side. Lets face it, the penalty awarded for germany was questionable and the portuguese could have been awarded a penalty but were not. You just mentioned about the injury. There were a few injuries on the german squad. I couldnt watch the whole game but for what i seen they really went for it. They say the best defense is a good offense and that is the way the germans will play. He has a lot of players that can make it happen. Looks sometimes like they have three or four forwards. He has complete faith in the back four. Once you have that you can really attack. I think they are going to try to win the goal scoring goals number at this tournament and they are well underway. 40 is a fantastic score. Going on the attack is not out on a limb . It is a little but he has faith in his back four. He still has to get past ghana and the United States. But they could go very far in this tournament. How far . I can see them going to the finals if they continue to play like this. They are fed up not being finalists for a long time. Last time they won the world cup is 19 0. It has been 24 years. Semifinal last two world cups. They think they can go all the way. They can be the new dream team. Wow. Lets see if they can do it. I wouldnt mind if they were the next dream team. She is a fwerm an. Thank you very much. Ok. But there are other teams too in group f. Argentina won its first match by beating bosnia 21 in rio. The south americans went into the lead just two minutes in when messis cross bounced in for the fastest own goal in world cup history. Argentina lacked sparkle until messi lives up to his reputation. An unstoppable shot in his first world cup goal in eight years. Consolation foal for bosnia six minutes before the final whistle. There was a win for france in a bruising encounter with honduras thanks to a scoring spree. The 26yearold scored a penalty just before halftime. Early in the second half his shot went in off of the keeper to make it 2 for france. Later he blasted in a rebound to seal a deserved 30 win. All right. Different topic now. The u. N. s commissioner on human rights says islamic militants in iraq have almost certainly committed war crimes. Reports show forces allied with the Islamic State of iraq have executed without trial soldiers, police and other fighters who surendered or were captured. Unverified internet footage shows them Holding Iraqi soldiers at gun point before shooting one of them dead. U. N. Commissioner said hundreds of those executions have been carried out over the past five days. The Obama Administration is considering talks with iran in hopes of combatting the forces in iraq. Baghdad says it has been conducting heavy air strikes on militant positions and says it obtained more than 100 speed sticks filled with information on personnel. They have reportedly captured parts of Northern Iraq and around baghdad thousands of shiites volunteered to fight the insurgent advance. Joining us now from our u. N. Studios, max, secretary of state john kerry says washington may be willing to cooperate with iran to stop the military advance in iraq. What is on the table exactly . Well, i can tell you for starter what is off the table. The pentagon made that quite clear. No military cooperation or joint military operation in iraq. You know looking at the history of those two countries, iran and the United States in the last 30 years that does not come as a surprise. Secretary of state john kerry seemed more open to whatever works, he will try to talk to the iranians and what it actually means in reality is probably that the two countries will talk on the sidelines of completely unrelated talks that are taking place in vienna at the moment. The talks about the Nuclear Program in iraq and might give them the opportunity to talk on the sidelines. Isnt washington worried bringing tehran into the equation could split iraq down the middle along sectarian lines . Well, that is one part of it. Of course you know the americans are very well aware that something with iran would even more alienate the sunni minority in iraq and that is part of the problem there. But that is not the only thing. The other thing is that president obama balm has been having huge problems on the Foreign Policy front here in the United States. Cooperating with the archenemy of the United States , iran, probably wouldnt go down too well. Thank you very much for the analysis, max. To kenya now where a militant Group Carried out an attack that killed at least 49 people in a coastal town. Witnesses say the latest assault began shortly after evening prayers. The small tenian town is in a state of shock. Many here were watching the world cup when the gunmen came. First they attacked a bank and a Police Station and stormed two hotels shooting randomly at people in the town. I hear from the sources they are down there once and might have escaped into the forest. It is about 30 kilometers away from a heritage site and popular tourist destination. The islammists based in somalia has taken responsibility. No Foreign Tourists were said to be hurt in the attack but it is likely to further harm kenyas important tourism industry.

In afghanistan counting is underway after a president ial runoff vote. A lot is riding on the outcome. The transition is expected to be the first time a afghan president will hand over power in a peaceful manner. But some fear it could open the door to protracted challenges and violence.

The International SecurityAssistance Force has been here since 2001. But it hasnt been able to dispel the threat of the taliban.

The tensions are emphasized by deep rivalries between tribal and ethnic groups. The outcome of the president ial elections still are not known. Opposition politicians are seen as the favorite openly antitaliban. If he wins how will he handle the islammists . To keep the door open for the talks with the taliban. Finding an agreement that will not take one side but will take two sides. As far as pursuing the negotiations with the taliban from our side we will continue. I can see that the desire of the Afghan Nation for having peace. It is that in the state and the leadership will have to pursue that. In a very serious manner. In the afghan capitol at least the situation seems to be improving. Streets and markets are bustling with people. There is a relative sense of safety. Safer than the southern and eastern provinces. The number of Small Industries like this foundary on the outskirts of the city are increasing. They are Home Grown International investment is still very rare. After the election result is announced, the new president will take up office in august. His key responsibility then will be finding the way to make a new start. After all of the talks here in afghanistan it is quite clear that even the new government will have tremendous problems if they do not integrate the taliban, at least in the political wing of the taliban into the peace process. If they do not. If they ignore the insurgents it might happen they simply sit back to relax until the end of 2016 until the International Troops are out and then struggle for power again.
