World Cup: Portugal vs Brazil 25 June 2010

It was suppoused to be the best match of the third round. Well, there were some positive sides.

1. Eduardo kept 3rd clean sheet.
2. Julio Cesar kept his 1st clean sheet.
3. Julio Cesar was not cold, because today it was warm in Durban.

Seriously, both teams were practicaly on 1/8 finales stage so why bother with playing? Eduardo can add 5 saves to his stats, the last shot of Brazil was actually dangerous for the Portuguese goal (it was the save which looked the most desperate, near the end of the match). Julio Cesar made 3 saves. At some point of the game Raul Meireles clashed with him. It seemed to be painful. Perhaps it was due that back injury Julio Cesar had just before the starting of the World Cup. Huge bandage on his back was clearly visible when he was attended by the medical staff. Hope he is going to be ok.

Julio Cesar got angry at Tiago, because he tried to preform "diving" in his penalty area. Portuguese players trying to play like Italy and get a penalty, really, no comments.







Julio Cesar clashes with Danny.







What a grin!

Those photos are just adorable.











This Portugal - Brazil match was more like a friendly match than anything else. I can imagine that after it both teams went to have a drink together ;)



Spain beat Chile 2:1 and made to the first place in the group. That means they are going to face Portugal in 1/8. Oh no. Two favorite teams against each other. I'm torn apart...

Picspam from the game with Casillas tomorrow.
