10. SOUNDBITE (German) Vox pop, name not given, Germany supporter:
"Yes, they played well, but this does not mean that they will get in through to the final stages, because usually those teams who play good at the beginning of a tournament are not so good in the end. But they should keep on track, try hard and then they will make it. But I guess the semi-final is possible at any rate."

STORYLINE
Tens of thousands of German football fans gathered in Hamburg on Sunday evening to watch their team beat Australia 4-0 in their opening World Cup match in South Africa.
Approximately 60-thousand Germany fans watched the game on a big screen in Hamburg's central Heiligengeistfeld area.
Many fans were decked out in Germany's national colours of black, red and yellow, and the crowd was dotted with hundreds of German flags.
Germany's dream start to the tournament means many supporters now believe 2010 could be the team's year to win, although some fans still sounded cautious.
"Yes, they played well, but this does not mean that they will get in through to the final stages, because usually those teams who play good at the beginning of a tournament are not so good in the end," said one supporter.
The teams faced off at the newly built Moses Mabhida stadium in Durban, watched by 62,660 fans.
Germany scored two goals in each half in the Group D match.
Lukas Podolski and Miroslav Klose scored in the first 30 minutes as Australia coach Pim Verbeek's defensive tactics backfired, and Thomas Mueller and Cacau added the others against an overwhelmed Australian defence.
The dominant win came without injured captain Michael Ballack.
Australia's dismal result will have sapped the team's morale, and that needs to be restored in a hurry before their next match.
Tim Cahill was sent off in the 56th minute for a late challenge on Bastian Schweinsteiger, so Australia will be without him in their next match, against Ghana on June 19.
Australia must beat Ghana, who earlier on Sunday scored a 1-0 victory over Serbia, to have a chance of making the next stage.
Germany's next match is against Serbia on June 18.
Germany has not lost an opening match in the World Cup since a 2-1 defeat in 1982 against Algeria.
