An amazing game. Portugal beats North Korea 7-0, which is pretty good considering North Korea held Brazil at 2-1. This goal by Ronaldo was one of the highlights, due to the sheer lunacy of it. Watch the clip.

Really hoping Portugal can play that well for the rest of the tournament. I’m also hoping that Argentina makes it far into the tournament, as they have been playing really well, and they seem to be the team that takes the fewest (if any) dives. Plus, I think it would be hilarious if Diego Maradona actually went through with this promise to run naked through Buenos Aires if his team wins it all. Plus, as a coach (and former player), he is still pretty skilled. The man has displayed some fancy footwork on the sidelines while wearing a suit and dress shoes.

So, yeah. Go Portugal and Argentina. Unfortunately, it isn’t conceivable to have a final game between the two teams. The best I can hope for is a semifinal game (since they are in the same branch of the tournament tree – unless Portugal bests Brazil on Friday (fingers crossed)).

This is a thrilling tournament so far. I cannot wait to see who else is going to make it out of the Group Stage.

Also, this is my 1000th post. :)
