PORTUGAL, AGAIN For Portugal, Shakira’s: “Vaka,Vaka“ might have ended, but the melody will linger on.
A nation of 10 million “herois do mar” that sailed the seas and spread the fever of football among nations bigger in size than its own, and produced the world’s most expensive exponent of the game, cannot just be wished away from living memories. Cristiano Ronaldo may have failed to shine, as does the sun under cloudy skies, but take heart my fellow Goans. The next FIFA showdown is only four more years away, and let’s hope by then the clouds, too, will give way. Bennet Paes Assolna Goa 1st July 2010
