World Cup 2006 memories

When I'm thinking about the previous World Cup one of the most notable moments is the penalty shoot-out Portugal - England. It was Ricardo's moment of glory. He saved three shots and so far he is the only goalkeeper who achieved it on the international championship stage.



Now there is no Ricardo in the squad, Portugal doesn't seem to be as strong team as it used to be after so much struggle in the eliminations, and there is no possibility they will face England on the quarter-final stage. The story can't repeat again.

But perhaps it will come to penaties in one of Portugal matches. Eduardo seems to be quite good in defending penalties so I'm not afraid on this side. I only hope that the Portuguese players were practising scoring penalties... It wasn't their strong side.
