Stranger things have happened in football. Is de same thing dey was saying bout Argentina in 1978. Because dey had no so called pedigree...dey was de under dogs all de way to de final ...next thing yuh know Kempes hoisting trophy.
Portugal remind meh of de same situation. Holland supposed to beat dem...England supposed to beat dem...hell Mexico was supposed to beat dem...but dey still there. They have been stingy like de Italians. Only one goal given up. Dey are a very mobile team and dey getting back their starters. De five man midfield will not give Zizou as much room. The problem is he doh need much to operate.
Deco, Ronaldo and Figo is a serious midfield too. I feel Veira have to have a good game as well. Henri go be looking to run at Nuno Valente who a lil slow, short and susceptible to changes of pace. Van Persie had he like a puppet on a string and Lennon shake he arse up a few times too.
Anyway ah backing de underdog. I from ah underdog country so I know what it must mean to de Portuguese people. Fuh France and Italy, is jes another feather in dey cap. Ah doh want to join de crowd dat thinking - How dare Portugal win this thing? Dem eh have no football history. Man who eh even born in a country dat win a WC turning up dey nose...steups. I does always hope dat somebody new comes through like a Cameroon or even a South Korea jes to show dem Soccer Powers dat dis is not a monopoly.
Really and truly, I was hoping for a long shot like Portugal vs Germany in de Final. Either one woulda make meh happy.
