In addition to what I just said, Portugal was a shoot out away from playing in the Euro finals. I don't think Ronaldo has played in a tournament where he hasn't advanced to the knock out stage.

2002, when we whooped that ass. Granted he was a sub, and destroyed us and hit 2 posts lol. But still.

I also want to add the fact that it's not in Europe. European teams struggle overseas. I have some hope for this!

Ronaldo didn't play in the 2002 WC.

Many times the East Hemisphere teams have a hard time playing in the Western Hemisphere -- and vice versa. So, definitely hoping for this too.


On another note, the MLS Cup final was thrilling tonight!

Wow I couldve SWORN he came on as like a 17 year old as a substitute that tournament lol.

EDIT: Just looked it up, Nuno Gomes is who came in that I was thinking of. The teenager who had all the hype I am remembering must have been Hugo Viana.

glad the World Cup is going to be played in that country. Also the same country where fans stoned a ref to death and decapitated him. That is, right after the ref stabbed a player on the pitch.

Klinsmann agrees to a 4 year extension. Another WC for the German. Gotta love it.

Yeah, Messi being out is going to be great in the long run. Neymar is starting to find a rhythm on the pitch that he could get just jumping in like he did while Messi was around. Now that he is playing better, and gaining confidence as "the man", they will be a scary duo up top.
