Well what remains strange is that long as these games have gone on, it is this
afternoon game that has indicated that all garbage teams must be eliminated.
And as to an old man, now that much of the garbage teams have been eliminated
we are starting to officially watch the Euro Soccer. And no offence intended to
the colonial British team that decides to shoot on a bar in such a critical
moment. It is at a point where the dear British have to realize that
international soccer games are not their cake and they move on killing people
and looting their resources when raping them as they raped the Masai women of
Kenya.
Which they do best.

Chefu Nyakuviruka:
No offence taken. Although let me add that both Jupiter and I hail from same
province (Mash East), the same district (Chikomba) and the same ward/dunhu
(Manyene). This is coincidental though, and is neither here nor there. But, you
must be aware that I reside in Oakland, in Northern California and Jupiter
Punungwe lives and works in S.Africa. Furthermore, my mitupo/totem is mhara,
whereas Jupiter belongs to the porcupine people (I believe).

Portugal's Great Football Teams
I always love to watch Portugal's football team in action; they're my default
team at any major championships. Part of the reason is that the Portuguese --
for all their faults in the colonial era -- have steadfastly featured African
players on their squads for over fifty years now. They and the French teams are
always the "African" teams at any European championships.
In the picture on the left is the great (Mozambican-born) captain of the
Portuguese squad from the 60s, Mario Coluna, and on the right is another
Mozambican-born star from the 60s, and probably Portugal's' greatest ever
player, the incomparable Eusebio.

The African and Latinflavor of the Portuguese team always make them a joy to
watch, and I particularly like the present team spearheaded by Real Madrid's
Cristiano Ronaldo. But, in no way, is this team the best Portugal has ever
fielded. Let's go back to 1984 to the great team that featured Joao Pinto in
defence and the Angolan-born Jordao in attack. They (pictured below) played
some marvelous football, but were unable to stop the Michel Platini-led French
team winning the tournament.

Having said that, all football pundits agree that Portugal's greatest ever crop
of footballers was the so-called "golden generation" that featured Luis Figo,
Rui Costa, Fernando Couto, and Vitor Baia (the team is pictured below). As
juniors, this team won the FIFA U20 World Championships in '91 and coalesced as
a group, finally peaking at the Euro 2000 Championships.
For all their firepower, they never actually won any championships (after their
success in '91), but boy were they a sight to behold: the wing-play of Luis
Figo; the crafty midfield-play of Rui Costa; and the clean-hands in goal of
Vitor Baia. I rank this team in the top five teams ever to grace a
football-field, up there with the Dutch teams of the 70s and the great 1970
Brazilian team of Pele, Tostao and Revelinho. This truly was a golden
generation of football players.
