Portugal DESTROYED By Brazil 6-2! What is up with that!

For those of you who missed it, Portugal just got SPANKED by Brazil!! I can not even begin to tell you how wrong that is on so many levels, but I am going to try.

First of all, a little background on myself so you have a good understanding of why this matters to me so much. I am Portuguese, and a die hard football fan. It pains me to see the team that I take so much pride in get destroyed 6-2, thats right, 6-2 by a Country that speaks the same language as us. Brazil was once a Portuguese colony, and is now the Football capital of the world. They have enough players for 100 national teams. So they once again have bragging rights.

Second, Portugal has an incredible team. You cant blame everything on the coach. Yes there has been a difference in Portugal's style of play since Carlos Queiroz took over, but still why cant we come together as a National Team. I mean look at our team; Ronaldo, Nani, Quaresma, Almeida, Danny, Deco, Simao, Maniche, Bosingwa, Carvalho, Meira, I mean the list goes on and on. I would say our biggest weakness is the Striker position, which is the reason why we dont score to many goals. But still, 6-2. Thats hard to come back from. Oh yeah, and great goalkeeping by Quim, what the F%$ was that! It was if he was sleeping! Especially those by Maicon and Elano

On the flip side, how the hell is Brazil not the number 1 team in the world? I mean seriously, they can seriously put out the 1, 2 and 3 top teams in the world and still be eachothers biggest competition.

Anyways, Portugal needs to bounce back, from that embarassing loss. Ronaldo needs to step it up big time internationally. To be truly great, he needs to lead both his club and country.

Does anyone feel my pain? Any thoughts on the game? Comment below

John Terry You Lucky Bastard!!

John Terry was a luck bastard this past Wenesday November 19, 2008 against England's arch rival Germany. John Terry headed in the game winner 6 minutes from time to defeat Germany 2-1. England technically should have only needed one to win the game, but earlier on in the John Terry made the most ridiculous mistake!! I honestly am still not sure what he was doing, it looked so akward. I think he was trying to shield the ball for the goalie to grab, but it was the saddest effort I had ever seen, which led to Levurkusen striker Patrick Helmes to level the game at 1.

If Terry had not scored that goal, he would have been linched by England supporters! I mean letting a lead slip away against your bitter rivals cause of a stupid mistake... it would have been ugly! Thank god he scored the winner, especially after the missed penalty kick against Manchester United in the Champions League Final, he couldn't afford to lose more face.

But then again, that's why he is the captain, he comes through. Also did anyone notice Gabriel Agbonlahor and his incredible quickness and pace? He is someone to watch in the future, Aston Villa better hold on to him. Great job by Downing as well, they drove those German Defenders crazy. Which is not easy!
