FORCA PORTUGAL! I stayed out of this 'till now just because I know PT had 4-5 of the better players benched for injuries and I was very hesitant. But no more....

Let this be known...The team is called Portugal, NOT Renaldo. Renaldo cant do everything himself. Allow him to open up the game and we got capable goal scorers. This is the difference compared to the first game. We played like a team! Now this looks like the most impressive team in the whole competition.

Cant wait till Friday against Brazil (I have Brazilian in my family as well). I love both teams but my heart belongs to PT. I doubt Brazil will bring their A team since they are already through so it might not be a great comparison.

Settle down, guy. Your team beat North Korea. Let's see how they look after playing tough teams.

Right, and that team went 2-1 against Brazil. Nuff said...its still 7 damn goals and extremely exciting to see how well they play when everything isnt centered around one player. There is no settling down in football.

Nice, so Brazil won with a 1 goal diff, Portugal won with a 7 goal diff therefore Portugal will win with a 6 goal diff

No man, I'm saying, even Brazil didnt show the dominance that PT did...Ofcoarse I'm not doing the math like that. What are we 6 years old?

G37Sam · 06-21-2010, 08:44 AM

Ronaldo is a better play maker than scorer IMO, he should stick to it

What's the drama with Deco? Is he really injured or is there some sort of bs going on with his coach?

I dont know about that...I think he is equal in both skills. The difference is during his club matches he's joined with the best players in the world that can play similarly to him which allow him to shine as a goal scorer. The problem is Portugal isnt Real Madrid and if he is going to wear that captain band he needs to be a leader and make plays happen.

I dont think Deco has been in good shape lately but then again between pt and brazil these coaches got some shady reasonings for some of their calls.

If a team I supported got seven against North Korea, I'd be excited, but I'd temper that excitement & say, "Yup, it was against North Korea.

The Brazil argument doesn't work either. There is no transitive property in football.

Congrats on your win.

DannyGT · 06-21-2010, 09:21 AM

Lol ofcoarse the arugment works...But it doesnt matter, like I said to some of my Brazilian brothers this morning. Seemed as if both had some first game jitters and played superb in their second attempt. Thats really all I wanted to point out.

If anything the World Cup shows more of the "any given Sunday" rule than nearly any sport. There has been many shockers and the fact our group is called the group of death shows how much people thought both IC and Korea would challenge the 2 top teams. So I could careless what team it was...they played "Joga Bonito" better than the Brazilians I have seen in recent memory...Unbelievable style and finese. 7 goals by 6 players. GG

If you were in the NJ area - the mecca for portuguese and brazilians - you would have understood what I meant. I'm not talking numbers, I'm talking about how well the teams both played against the same opponent. You cannot discredit what happened today, no matter what team it was against. Thats all I'm saying...stop hatin' LOL - anyway, I'm done until Friday! See you guys then, and good luck to your teams as well.

Hope the home kit comes out clean. If Fabregas leaves, I might be going with a Vermaelen shirt lol.

I actually REALLY like the new away kit. I'll probably get it if it's made in long sleeve (I prefer long-sleeved kits for no good reason).

I already have a Sagna strip, so maybe I'd go with him again. Who knows.

I'm more than likely sticking with Iniesta for my Barca strip... or maybe I'll switch to Pique.
