Dude, Where's my Cup?

As I feared, it was a pale exhibition from Portugal, adding a new dimension of crap to the copious filling already in the WC…
Portugal did win, scored 2 goals but played like amateurs – I though I was watching a minor league match, so bad was the defending, inconsequent attack, and worst of all, the poor general attitude in the middle field!
Everybody seems satisfied enough with the result - after all, we did qualify; but the team’s football is not convincing, and further ahead that’s going to cost us dearly… hopefully, that day won’t come so soon; but when it comes, I fear it’s called Argentina.

Much different was the match between the Czek Republic and Ghana – excellent, vibrant football, displayed by both teams!
A special mention to Ghana; not only they were the first African team to win in this cup, they were also the only team who lost the first game, to win the second, so far. Impressive.
Ghana is still in the race to qualify, and so are all others in the group.

It's somewhat refreshing to see a group where everything will be decided in the last game… bloody early-qualifiers, they spoil all the fun!
Totally Bogus!
