Deco – Portugal’s hero
Deco blasted a beauty. Great goal! Cristiano Ronaldo converted a PK after Figo was brought down. I still don’t know why Big Phil did not bring Deco in the first game against Angola. They are so much better when he is on the field. The PK was a result of a pass from Deco to Figo.
The parade of Brazil born players doing well for their adopted teams grows. Zinha, Senna, Deco, Francileudo (who we have not seen yet).
Portugal are through to the round of 16. Mexico looks to take the second spot but again don’t count Angola out.
