Brazil 0-2 Portugal

So I worked till 10:30 last night, so I was able to watch the re-broadcast of the Brazil-Portugal friendly. First Brazil -- I now, finally, get what Dunga is trying to do, and I agree with him. Brazil needs to stop relying on the Ronaldo's and even Ronaldinho's of the world, and work up a strong (and young) bench. Plus they need to start playing as a team. So, while they didn't always look great last night -- Kaka is still pretty amazing, and Diego was brought on way too late -- I'm sure my second-favorite team will come around.

That said. Portugal. I only like them because of Deco and Ronaldo, both of whom had great games yesterday. Quaresma also played well. But Ronaldo! Jesus he's good. He's already one of the best players in the world -- like top 5, right? -- and of course he's all of 22, so will only get better. I'm not sure I've seen anyone (er, in the past year, that is, since I've been following international soccer) with his pace -- not even Henry, and that's saying a lot. So we'll see. Having said that, CR -- cut out the antics. You're so good you don't need to dive. And I'm not the only one who thinks you should leave England.

Today's big game??? France v Argentina. The Argentinians have said the person they fear the most is Henry. Ha Ha -- but fingers crossed. I'm already nervous. And England v Spain. If I didn't hate Aragones so much I would be rooting for Spain.
