A match made in heaven two of Worlds best teams fight it out for the top of the table in the biggest match of the tournament so far.
They will be playing for pride rather than points where Portugal only needed a draw to qualify to the next round and Brazil are already in the round of sixteen.
Brazil will depend on their ace striker Robinho and goal scorinng machine Fabiano while the inform Portugal after raining goals over North Korea will look beat the samba boys in the rainbow nation where there are over 1 million Portugese speaking people.
Dunga has apologised to the fans after he used the words “donkey” and “wimp” as well as launching a verbal attack on the journalist in question in his post-match press conference.
He says, “I’m sorry the fans have always supported the national team and all I want to do is to be able to work for the good of this team.”
Ronaldo would miss playing against his team mate Kaka after a sent off in the last game. He says, “It’s not fair because Kaka did nothing in my opinion, and now he won’t play against us, he didn’t deserve that red card. I saw the game and I spoke with him about it afterwards. He was angry at the time but after the game he’s cool, he understands it’s part of the game.”
These two teams have met before in a friendly match on November 19, 2008 in Gama (a city near BrasÃlia, Brazil’s capital). But the score line was far too disappointing for the Portuguese side after they were beaten 6-2.
Revenge is what Portugal wants and this would be the perfect platform to earn that honour and pride but Brazil is not going to make life that colourful for Portugal. They and Argentina are the two teams who are playing the best football in the tournament so far. Can the former world best player Ronaldo produce some magic as he usually does in big matches?
This group H tie will be a mouth watering soccer mania.
