portugal is overrated if u ask me not because of the match right now

Portugal have been struggling for a while, they seriously need a striker.

I wanted a win but am not extremely disappointed with a draw. The way I see it, we couldn't have "won" this group today (even 2nd place, with a win) but we definitely could have lost it with an IC defeat. That is positive.

I have a feeling Quieroz has this plan. It's weak, but it worked to get us here in the first place..

Tie IC, beat N. Korea, Brazil beats IC, we tie Brazil..it would leave us with 5 points and IC with just 4. It's boring but may very well happen. Brazil-IC is a pivotal game for us. If Brazil beats both Portugal & IC or ties them both, the scenario now comes down to goals and in that category, I don't like our chances to score more on NK than Brazil and IC..

Will see!

Damn Brazil is disappointing... really only scored because the Goalie made a major mistake :X

North Korea actually played good defense and didn't pressure like 10 year old kids the way Australia did.

yea, but in reality brazil shuld have had like 4-5 goals, a lot of dumb missed shots, you can look at it either way though.

Most of the clearer chances came in the 2nd half.  That's how Brazil is going to win, they are going to break you down and before you know they will have a few goals on you.  Obviously it didn't happen here, but this will be their style.
