Germany defeated Ivory Coast 10-0 in FIFA Women's World Cup Group B action in Ottawa on Sunday.

Forwards Anja Mittag and Celia Sasic helped fill up the scoresheet, with each recording a hat trick for the heavily favoured German side. 

Goal differential does matter and it's tough to fault them for playing hard against a much weaker opponent, but still, should Germany have let up?

Have your say.
