With the strong cultural links between Brazil and Portugal I'm expecting all the Portugal games to be backed by vocal local support. Might give them a boost without the pressure of being the host nation.
all the big hitters have scored so far neymar,van persie,robben, benzema and campbell come on ronaldoo
Come on u Germans! I'm still bitter over the loss against the Portugese in the play-offs. This fella (Josue Pesqueira) springs to mind, showing his class in front of the Swedish crowd. There were some comical headlines (even made the headlines) when he didn't get picked to the Portugese WC squad, karma's a b*tch etc... please log in to view this image
I was living in west germany the last time they won the world cup. I have cheered for them far longer than I have the US.
Stoned by the protestors about 10 minutes before the end of the opening game Brazil v Croatia. So Chiles must be presenting from a different stadium? Brazil v Croatia was the Arena Corinthians. Germany Portugal is the Arena Fonte Nova.
As some on here will have noticed, I can't stand all the love for Germany. Portugal are my team tonight.
Must be.....I thought they'd mix it up a bit. Which is what I meant presenting from Corinthians ground whilst games are elsewhere.
