Both actors will no doubt be looking forward to tonight's after-hours match between Brazil (Mr Bachchan's favourite team) and Mexico
- Bollywood superstars Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan agree that last night's World Cup face-off between Germany and Portugal was a cracker of a match.
- Mr Bachchan described the match as a 'humdinger':
- T 1517 -This game : Germany v Portugal is a humdinger .. clinical by the Germans, and Portugal .. well .. a bit unfortunate.. !!
- SRK saluted the German demolition squad:
- The Germans need to give a warning before they do this to another team...."Achtung Hochspannung!....at least.
- Achtung Hochspannung is the German for 'danger, high voltage.'
- Germany crushed 10-man Portugal 4-0, helped by a hat-trick by Thomas Muller. Portugal, led by Bollywood favourite Cristiano Ronaldo, lost defender Pepe after he was red-carded for head-butting Muller.
- Both Mr Bachchan and SRK, ardent football fans, have been up nights watching the matches and tweeting.
- SRK put his passion for the game into this rather poetic tweet:
- Prayers done. Forgiveness asked for. Football on nothing else needs to be asked for. Fantastic....Forgiveness, Football & Footloose tonight.
- Mr Bachchan had a more intellectual take:
- T 1517 -Comment from a dear friend on the World Cup .. in Latin : 'panem et circenses'.. Fine..guess what it means ? Quick .. no googling !
- " panem et circenses " bread and circuses : provision of the means of life and recreation by government to appease discontent !!
- Both actors will no doubt be looking forward to tonight's after-hours match between Brazil (Mr Bachchan's favourite team) and Mexico.
