The day of reckoning on the football pitch for India's former colonial masters is surely minutes away. My support is solidly behind the Portuguese, not for its past links with Goa, but for the team spirit. No prima donnas here i.e. golden balls, but wizardry, guile and collective skill. This will not be a Croatian team lacking a defence, or a Swiss team with a defence that could be likened to their cheese. This is a team that will shackle Wayne Rooney or any individualistic approach from the England team. England can only win if they play as a team. Driving by Beckham house, a mile down the road from my place, I have noticed that while most of the rest of the country proudly flies the flag, Beckingham Palace only has a medium size flag displayed in the corner rather than prominently. Maybe the England captain too feels the goal is beyond his reach. I will be cheering Portugal all the way! Toasting the goal/goals as the roar echoes through the Stadio da Luz with fine champagne, and no dumb blondes for me !!
