Oh, but they are like me! I'm just unfortunate to live in a place with very few Portuguese. I would give my little finger to go around shouting and shooting those boring Canadians. Can't think of anything better to do with my life.
That's it, I'm growing a moustache!

My match analysis:
I'm obviously happy with the 3 points, but there are some lessons to be learnt by Scolari in this game.
1st: Figo played amazingly well, but he was dead tired in the end. Taking out C.Ronaldo and leave Figo on the pitch was a mistake, in my opinion. Let's not forget we'll need Figo fit for the next matches.
2nd: Two defensive midf ...[text shortened]... o for the tougher matches but that's always the case with the best players of each team.
Originally posted by PalynkaI agree, Figo had a brilliant game, but it was right to take Ronaldo off, as he is the type of player who can easily get a second yellow card.

Originally posted by Freddie2006I disagree that we played poorly.
Well to be honest, Potugal played quite poorly. They bgan to lose it after they realised Angola wern't going to go without a fight. Better defence and midfield is needed.
Whenever we accelerated a bit we were a fluid side and created lots of changes. It just seemed to me that Portugal wasn't too interested to kick it into top gear because it just wasn't needed.
As for the midfield I agree, but with Deco playing and if Maniche is on the team, our midfield is one of the best.
My only doubts are our goalkeeper and Pauleta.
Originally posted by mosquitorespectThat's why I'm giving Scolari the benefit of the doubt, but we can't sub Ronaldo every time he gets a yellow card. Even if he did, at least it would be the last minutes against Angola and the game with Iran. The possibility of him learning a lesson is actually tempting, since I'm sure he would be blasted by Scolari.

Still, he took the safest route was taking Ronaldo and left Figo on the pitch. No problem, but he shouldn't do it again with Iran. Figo is hungry and we need him fit.
Originally posted by PalynkaIt's a pity Angola didn't really seem to want to attack in the second half. I thought they defended really well, but it was pretty pointless just to defend when they were already a goal down.
