Portugal vs Brazil
One one tie today between these two powerhouses. I watched the game at the PCOV on commercial. They charged $10 a person to enter, nevertheless, it was packed in there, standing room only.
All in all, it was a good match to watch. Lots of chances both ways.
Portugal scored first on a breakaway goal by Sergio Conceicao. A threw ball dumbied by Joao Pinto that sent Conceicao all alone on the keeper, and he finished well.
Brazil countered will a PK scored by Ronaldinho.
Brazil seemed to have their full squad with Rivaldo, Roberto Carlos, and Ronaldo all playing. Portugal was missing Rui Costa and Nuno Gomes.
The star of the game would have to be the Portuguese keeper Ricardo who made numerous saves including a couple point blank shots by Ronaldo.
Both teams looked impressive. Brazil was as dangerous as ever and playing to that samba beat. Portugal also played well, but their lack of a dangerous finisher upfront was evident.
I can't wait to see these two teams in action in a month and a half.
