Viva La Portugal!!



Diz world cup was i weird 1 for me.Normally all the world cups are weird!! i seem so awkward when ppl ask me wat team do i support...i'll b lyk errrr??? i dunno. As a footie crazed fan it'll b weird if i don't support any team.Da 1st match i watched was germany against costa rica.Without a doubt germany thumped over costa rica 4-1. Shud i support germany!? yeah i kinda feel lyk i do.Da last world cup i was supporting germany all n all.Mayb bcoz of oliver kahn.Yeah i was a goalie back den.Hmmm den after tht i saw the match between spain n ukraine.Woah i was realli impressed with da way spain played.Fluent attacking football .Dat's da language i'm talking baby!! yea FLUENT ATTACKING FOOTBALL! All out attacking play! Brazil didn't quite impress me.in da 2002 world cup finals dey didn't impress me either.I was kinda expecting da exit of da 2002 world cup champions.

Now Portugal.....Yeah portugal.I did'nt even noe portugal was in da world cup for 2002.I guess dey didn't play football back den.I started acknowledging portugal as a footballing country during da euro 2004 craze.Yeah dey were da hosts n dey played lyk CHAMPS! dat's all i've gotta say.But den came GREECE to crash portugal's party...Hmmm a stroke of luck? or jz plain DESIRE THIRST N HUNGER for da cup? i dunnoe.Whr's greece?i dun see dem in da world cup.Nway at tht tym der was ZAGORAKIS(Greece Skipper) craze. I realli thought portugal had da chance of winning.

World cup world cup!! Portugal put on a magnificient display throughout da group stages.Wat a team dey were. Evryone in da squad pretty much impressed me especially MIGUEL! right back of Portugal.Wat a personality diz guy was.He 's solid n he can dribble!Fernando Meira did a tremendous job manning da backline. n DECO is da heart of da midfield wit Da ever inventive C.ronaldo running down da flanks. Maniche Played ever so well ! Providing through passes to da frontline.Figo da person i realli admired...he's in da league of Zizou n has always been.A FOOTBALLING LEGEND! One thing though.Don't u ever notice every team in da world cup has a starstriker!? Example's...Thierry Henry(France).Drogba(Ivory Coast). Nistelrroy(Holland).Wayne Rooney(England) Schevchenko(Ukraine).Wat did Portugal had to offer? i DOubt any1 has heard of SImao Sabrosa / Helder Postiga/ Pauleta. Yeah dey r da strike force of portugal.Did'nt make an impact though.Hmmm imagine portugal wit a star striker!! Luiz Felippe Scolari has change portugal tremendously! He's da gaffer DA man FATHER To da Portugese squad!


The downfall of portugal came thru a penalty.Ricardo did ever so well by diving da right way but it wasn't enough.It was a sad day.My hopes were high with portugal.I guess diz is a beauty of da world cup.When ur team goes down.u go down with dem.Wat an experience..
I was so worried about the score of da germany n portugal match.Missed it again...grrrr was dreaming about it da whole night.I thought da score was 2-1 to portugal but it turned out totally diffrent.Sigh......Portugal will definitely bounce back. Euro 2008 HERE WE COME!

Ym OVer N OUT
