Real Madrid won Copa del Rey final!

First victory over Barcelona since 3 years. First final won by Real since 1993.

What's more Casillas made two crucial saves. And it was Ronaldo, who scored the winning goal in 103'.

For sure it's an evening to remember.

Casillas in Portugal - Spain 4-0 friendly game, 17 Nov 2010

It was not the day of Iker Casillas.



I can see a look of doom here...

Iker Casillas, the captain of Spain team and Cristiano Ronaldo, the captain of Portugal team, read the statement supporting the idea of hosting the World Cup 2018 by the both countries.

Portugal vs Denmark 3-1!

It's 60th minute of the game and Portugal is leading the game 2:0 after two goals of Nani scored in three minutes span.

So far Portugal has been dominating on the pitch, plays fast, effective and efficient at last.

There was one change on Denmark side, Thomas Sorensen was replaced by Anders Lindegaar, who made already at least two fine saves.

Eduardo is also not without an occupation in this game and stays focused.

As we all now winning 2:0 against Denmark doesn't guarantee Portugal is not going to lost 2:3 so better to keep fingers crossed till the final whistle.

Edit: Portugal finally registered their first win in the European Championship 2012 qualification campaing. They controlled the game and won 3-1 with Denmark.

All goals were scored by Portuguese as Ricardo Carvalho scored an own goal in the second half. Fortunately Ronaldo added thrid goal in the final minutes of the goal.

Paulo Bento achieved what Carlos Queiroz could not, a win. Hope that is how Portugal matches are going to look like now. Except for scoring own goals of course.

World Cup: Portugal vs North Korea 7-0 21 June 2010 Portugal photos

In one match Portugal almost scored more goals than during the whole eliminations... Brazil - Portugal at Friday is going to be a real test. Will the result be closer to devastating 6-2 as in the last friendly, or 2-0 in 2007 match?

One is certain - Eduardo won't be left without an occupation. I hope that also Julio Cesar is going to have a chance to show his skills.

Poor North's Korea players...















Horrible second half for poor Ri Myong-Guk...



It's not like there was no save on Korea's side... He made 3. Not too much comparing to 8 in the match Brazil. But this time his teammates left him without the support.
