After today's fiasco against Angola I have serious doubts. There is no excuse for this. It is ANGOLA. Although they defended well, any team aspiring to win the WC has to be able to bury Angola. Portugal found itself stuck with no way to penetrate the naive, but determined Angolan defense.

If Portugal advances it will likely fall on the first match of the knockout stages. If nothing changes, that is.

Scolari is a great coach, but there is only so much you can do with the lack of fresh talent from Portugal and having to deal with the primma-donna attitude of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Lets see here, England stunk to high heaven in there first game ( they Won) Ivory Coast outplayed Argentina and had they some finishers would have Won that game, (Argintina won) Sweden heavy favorites to walk all over TNT (drew) the game, Poland big time favorites to beat Ecador lose 2-0. Dude as bad as Portugal played (they Won) and thats what matters in this tournament. Like the other teams dont put all your beans in one basket and judge the teams overall outlook on 1 opening game. Iam sure Portugal will only get stronger and play much more relaxed in upcoming games.

yes portugal will definetely advance to the 2 round along with mexico.

WTF is up with c. ronaldo, it seemed like he was more interested in his personal performance than helping out the team

Christiano was there only in appearance, he didnt do squat shit out on the pitch. Quess all players have those days. Its not that he was concerened with his own performance, which he does enjoy keeping it at his feet abit to much, the deal was he didnt play well at all period.

C. Ronaldo is a Ronaldo/Ronaldinho wannabe. Unfortunately his level of skill is not at the brazilian level yet.

Deco said he would have naturalized portuguese all over again (yes, seeing that he would never have been called up for the brasilian squad). Deco is not going to change anything.

Portugal always starts slow. This time was no different. I'm just glad they started with Angola, and not Mexico, or things might have been a bit complicated now. As it is, we scored early and won 3 points.

But really, the only reason they didn't score more was because Angola, unlike Ghana or the USA or Costa Rica, chose not to press forward. They just defended all the time, even while losing. Why would Portugal risk 3 points for a few more statistic goals? Facing an inexperienced team does not mean a flashy result. Look at Sweden.

Besides, my brasilian friend, can you explain your "fiasco" against Russia a few months ago? The same team we beat by 7-1? Let's see how well you fare against Croatia before you start dooming Portugal over a 3 point victory "setback".

First off, we are talking about Portugal, not Brazil.

But since you mention it, to stop Brazil's attack you will need more than 11 Angolans for sure. That game would not have ended 1 vs 0 if Brazil was playing for sure.

Russia fiasco you say? Perhaps you didn't get the memo that said: if you have qualified and it is not a world cup game, it doesn't matter.

If you wanna compare Brazil vs Portugal I will remind you that we have 5 (FIVE) world cups while Portugal has never (to my knowledge) even reached a final.

In short, Portugal will have to improve A LOT to get a good chance to go all the way. It is not impossible, but very dif***ult.

If Mexico can beat Brazil which it has what does that say about Brazil? Should we say Brazil sucks? should we Go on those loses and say hey how can they hope to be any good?

Also Portugal has a population of 10 million, can you just imagine how supreme they would have been if they had Brazils Population of 180+ million???? If you take into account how few players we have We surely are the best in Europe simply on those stats.

Because niether of those countries gives a rats ass about the game, not nearlly to the extent of nations like Brazil and Europe. Also I believe I have the right to my own opinion???? If I myself think that Portugal in contract to their population is the best in Europe that is my right to belief so. Just as much as some Mexicans thinking their team are better than others. One guy posted saying Mexico was far better than Portugal, I responded that it was his right to think what ever he wants.

So what if Portugal played bad, they still won.Do you seriously think they would play like that against Brazil or Mexico.One of the main reasons why Portugal was horrible was because their midfield was shit for this game.Tiago was to slow, and when Deco returns their midfield will be great.

The 1-0 against Angola didn't surprised me all that much... the 2 sides know eachother quite well and don't forget the extra motivation for Angola to play against portugal on their 1rst game in a World Cup.
I think Portugal started the game well, creating a goal oportunity and scoring a goal in the first 5 minutes. Portuguese side managed the result and the effort, that's what I think (and hope). Deco and Cristiano had their oportunitie to rest and I hope they'll play it well next saturday. Mexico is a great team (I fear the more than Brazil) and I don't really know iran.

Good luck for Brazil today against Croatia!

Of course it is. No one's questioning Brasil's resumee. But -this- particular world cup started on the 9th. If you win it, cheers. If not, too bad. Whoever does will be considered better than Brasil.

And, if it works for the english, let me change into my self-righteous narcisist persona - Portugal only seemed sluggish because of the weather. They were just resting players, fearing injuries. They'll turn on the "fast-mode" gear against Mexico if it's needed. If not, they'll just save their sweating to the dutch match in round 2.

wtf are you talking about????? off all the groups of people in these forums the portuguese posters are easily one of the most modest and fair in their outlook on games. You are either blind or not much upstairs, you used to post ok stuff now your started to dish the Portuguese on here? When like I said we are one of the least ignorant voices on these forums and that is a fact. Much less so than Mexicans, and Iam sure those that are not Mexicans would agree that indeed Mexicans on these forums are more ignorant than the Portuguese posters. I always said good of da Mexican team in general but dude if your going to start trashing the Portuguese for no reason then Expect me to chance my views on how I have seen things up to know. The game is going to be played On Saturday on the pitch its where it will be decided, not on here.

Croatia played great and the game truly merits to have been a tied game, because Brazil still played well enough to merit that as well. Was a good game overall being these are my other favs in this tournament Brazil then Croatia So Happy Brazil Won but kind of bad Croatia lost its a no win kind of deal in this game for me. I have some real good croatian friends and also my sister in law is croatian. I hope they clean up the Aussies and the Japanese team and advance along with Brazil. Ronaldo??? He got 1 shot away in the whole game he was non existant in that game. He might as well have been on the side lines eating some ribs and all. KAKA goal was great.

A useful thread would be:

Without irony, comparing Portugal to Mexico is ridiculous.

Mexico has had better results than Portugal in the world cup's history, but that doesn't make them a better team for this world cup.
I am sure you don't believe Mexico is superior to Portugal, maybe you have not been following the international football scene in the last years.
Wake Up or you will be disappointed man !

For those who wanted a lot more than "a small 1-0" result from Portugal - Angola please give a glimpse at the fifa world cup statistics to realize that Angola have the 4th top goalkeeper, and 3th top tackler players of the tournament.

That could not happened if Portugal didn't striked hard, brothers.

It was our fault. After all, losing against them in the final gave Greece the mistaken impression that they actually didn't suck at football. The best they can do is bring their cup to a museum and write history books to be worshipped on. And, of course, go back to being 4th place in WC qualifiers, as they were used to. After all, that's the way of things. Greece is a relic of the past. Let us all take a minute of silence for them, and remember them fondly.

(lol) your right come to think of it I should have realized We are indeed to blame for lifting up them greek egos after the Euro. But its ok Bro reality set in real quick after that, pretty much like a night out on the town drinking your feeling all good and lose and not a care in the world and by next day reality is back in your face. They NO World cup history worth a damn, look We been there what 4 or 5 times and at least We can see in those few times at the World cup we achieved a 3rd place.

I can make a guess already, thanks to your grasp of the english language. The only thing we'll -loose- against Mexico is a volley of shots.

Maybe we'll win, maybe we'll lose, who cares? By that match both teams'll most likely have enough points to qualify anyway. And if the question is whom we're playing next, between Holland and Argentina... repeat after me - who cares? They're both tough teams to beat, at the same level.

Scolari is a great coach, but there is only so much you can do with the lack of fresh talent from Portugal

Well, I guess mighty Brazil in their opening match really showed the world how the game is supposed to be played, or as the French say, "Comme il faut".

Almost as poor of a performance as Portugal´s. :rolleyes:

Hello blondie welcome to SFN. This is the first time I have seen you in these forums and from the number of post a newbie so welcome aboard and have fun. Well I really think Portugal has what it takes to beat either Holland or Argentina, they could lose off course but there ability to beat those teams are just as good as to say they would lose. Frankly I dont care who Portugal plays second round being they get there which iam sure they will. If your going to go far in this thing you have to be able to beat any one they put in front of you.

Frankly I dont care who Portugal plays in the Second round ( Being they hopefully beat Iran which I think they will ) The thing is probably better to play Holland as we have played them a few times, however if we play Argentina so be it, Portugal is capable of beating either team.

I think, given our historial against defensive teams, Mexico might actually be harder to beat than either Argentina or Holland. Ideally, of course, we'd beat all 3 of them (Mexico now, Holland 2nd round and Tina on the final).

THink of it its like ok you have a gorilla in your backyard in a cage for 50 years and he perhaps isnt treated like royalty. then one day you decide well ahhww WTF we will let the thing go. You open the cage and the gorilla sets off into the jungles on his own. What happenes is this Gorilla because very bitter angry upset and resentful that he was owed and locked up for 50 years and know hes resentful that he was let to be on his own cuss without his Masters he is lost in the world and confused. you see in his cage he was ruled had his master but at least he was well fed and taken care off and he didnt have to worry about to much.

I thought I would be the first to say something about the brazilians, as you see in this other post. IN all seriousness Most Brazillians support the portuguese in not only Soccer but most events at whatever they may be and likewise with the Portuguese toward the Brazilians, but like everything else in life you get a few people on both sides of the fence that have some issues and dislikes and generally its expected because hell you have to have alittle hate to gain alot of love.

Kind of hard to badmouth them when theyre the best in the world, lol.Much easier to badmouth a sorry Peruvian team, and much harder to resist the urge to do so.
