World Cup Update
8:03 AM
I've just got back from the Portugal-Iran game.Iran vs Portugal: 0 - 2.
Well it's expected really. My take on it is that Iran did put up a fight. But although they were full of determination, it seems as though Portugal had at least that much determination - and more skill. This wasn't so obvious in the Angola game, because Angola could handle the ball almost as well as Portugal could, only that they screwed their attacks muchly. Iran was just so-so but you could tell a lot of work was in it. And they did try. It's just that Portugal outclassed them in the end. Portugal's a World Cup veteran, and lots of them have played for their country before, and they've had the experience of playing big playas. Iran has never, I think, made it to the next round. But at least they did put up a fight. And there was some joga bonito once in a while. Not bad.
Now it's the game we've all been waiting for - Czech and Ghana. It will be a helluva scary match. I'll probably be able to catch it tomorrow. But I'm scared. Please let the Czechs survive this. Other than my usual rooting for Japan and England, of which both I think won't make it to the World Cup (maybe England will make it to final 8 or semis if they're lucky), I'm highly in love with the joga bonito they play. I'm all for Czech for the World Cup. I enjoy their football.
Go Czechslovakia!
