seeing Pedro Mendes start for Portugal is highly amusing

But he's 68. I'm pretty sure he played in the 1966 Portugal-North Korea match.

Raul Meireles has the worst-sounding name ever. >.<

What's wrong with Mehr-ray-les, like it's spelt?

Mehrelsh sounds shit. And is nothing like the spelling. Boo. At first I thought it was Guy Mowbray being a dick, but according to a Portuguese-speaking friend, he's right.

Well, that's pretty much that.

There's a very good chance this group will come down to goal difference though, so it's in Portugal's interest to keep scoring.

Fucking Potugal

It will be interesting to see if any club sides try to sign some of the North Korean players - most of them could for sure play at Championship level; or SPL level.

From North Korea to Dundee. Improvement?

This is a bumming

[Farmer Reil]

Well, you have to say it... Brazil vs. Portugal... Brazil could be in trouble. ¬_¬

Also, you have to feel for the Ivory Coast. If Portugal do lose to Brazil, Drogba is going to need to absolutely annihilate the Koreans to qualify. And if they do, the Koreans will probably all be shot. ¬_¬

Looking very bad for the Ivory Coast right now.

[Colossus]

It's the best I've seen Portugal since Queiroz took over. Only one or two players playing really bad (Miguel being one of them. Awful. Oh Bosingwa, how I miss you)

[ADG]

And that's 5-0 now. Nicely taken but it's a shame that North Korea are working so hard and yet not getting anything out of it.

[Lineker]

It's not over until The Great Leader sings!

[Dan]

Seven.

[Dont Fear The Reaper]

7-0 >.<

[The Quasi Juice]

Wow Brazil must be thinking, how did we play 2-1 against them?

Ronaldo's sixth goal was funneh.

[GoGo Yubari]

And, of course, this is the game airing live in North Korea right now. Brazil vs. North Korea didn't.

[Lineker]

They probably pulled the plug on it after the fourth or fifth went in

[Gazz]

They probably said that North Korea are in red...

[Hobo]

I instantly refuted Jonathan Pearce on the size of the win being rare! Germany beat Saudi Arabia 8-0 in 2002.
