I hate what I hate and the Portugal national football team is #2 on that list.

Damn, can't even make number 1? That's even more insulting

Are you leaving room for Spain at the top or what's number one?

Some English fans dressed up as Crusaders were denied entry in a Wahhabi Cup stadium. 
Qatar triggered!

Soccer wise, #1 is Italy.
All Sports wise, it's the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Leafs? That's like picking on the handicapped. They're not going to win anything. 

I approve of the Italy hate though.

Well, Ghana is just here for the tie, so the Selecção will have to attack more.

I went from despising Italy to liking/low-key supporting them in 2006, either they stopped playing like bastards or everyone else caught up. That glorious semi-final against Germany made it for me.

The glorious English tears last EC wasn't bad either.

First Ronaldo goal cancelled. Golden dive for the former Gold Coast team. 

[Duque de Bragança]

First half dominated by Portugal but not too many chances, goal cancelled notwithstanding.
Knowing Fernando Santos he will only try to fix the team in a more attacking way in the last 15 minutes, possibly later, as in too late.

Is it just me or have today's games been dull-o-ramas

Ghana is going to play defensive, portugal will push too much at the end for a goal, fuck up, and get scored on. It's the way.

Didn't see the Swiss win, but at least in the korea game both teams were trying, if Ineffectively.

[Duque de Bragança]

Penalty for Portugal, and Penaldo scored. 
First player to score in 5 different world cups.
Still one goal behind Eusébio however, who scored all 9 in the same world cup.

Same foul more or less as before the cancelled goal for Portugal in the first half. The former should have been granted IMO but the referee played compensation I guess.

[HVC]

Light penalty, but it counters the bad call earlier.

There we go HVC
