Lunatic:
Portugal is definitely better than Italy. There is a reason we're ranked 3 in the world and have only conceded 3 goals in our last 16 matches

Italy is a killer team, Portugal not. They'll both make it to knockout stage, ok, Italy could face Netherlands now, that would be difficult for them. It's not likely that Itlay can defend the title, but I still fear 'ol ass Itlay more than Portugal. Portugal's suaqd is far from dreadful, and they were the inferior team in their opener.
The ranking is shit and useless. How can Portugal be 3rd before Germany etc... ::)

Portugal are more dangerous in this tournament than Italy and I believe will progress further. Italy will get creamed by Netherlands and if Portugal advance which I think we will by a squeak, we're looking at facing Chile/Switzerland hopefully and that should put us through to the quarters. Portugal should be more feared than Italy no doubt.
Since CQ took over as our manager, we have a 78.3% of keeping clean sheets in our matches, higher than any other team in the world. We've conceded 3 in our last 16 and are also on quite the long unbeaten streak. That's why we're 3rd.

Gyeah! NZ currently ranked 78th in the world........ we're heading up a few places now, lol.
Javier:
So far, Portugal's defense looks much stronger than Italy's. And it's a no brainer who has a better attack right now. Portugal needs to break down that North Korea defense though. Coentrao has to step up in that game and attack since most likely it will be crowded for the other players in attack.
