We look at the football boots worn by the German and Portuguese National Team ahead to today’s clash between Group G favorites. While Nike dominated our previous 2014 World Cup Football Boot previews (Brazil vs Croatia 2014 World Cup Opener and England vs Italy), Adidas is set to take over the leadership in the match between Portugal and Germany.
All eyes will be focused on Cristiano Ronaldo, who is set to make his first 2014 World Cup appearance in the cutting-edge Nike Mercurial Superfly 2014 Football Boot.

Cristiano Ronaldo is the most important player of the Portugal 2014 World Cup Boot Squad, which is dominated by their kit supplier Nike. Several players wear the Nike Magista Obra Boot, the most popular boot choice of the Portuguese players.
Rui Patrício and João Pereira will stand out on the pitch wearing the two colored Puma 2014 World Cup Boots, while Fábio Coentrão, João Moutinho, Hélder Postiga and Nani will wear Adidas Football Boots.
