Fanzone commentary can be classic to listen to too.
Some of the EPL games shown on Fox Soccer Channel have that. Entertaining.
I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891
Mexico v. Iran was a bunch of uninspired play, IMO.

Well, it looked like it was going to be a goalfest for Portugal at the start, but ultimately they were disappointing, with few real chances. I had certainly expected better, but I think they'll improve.
Angola played well at the back and in midfield, but looked innefective up-top. David Pleat, summarising for ITV in the UK said they could have been more adventurous going forward, but it might be better for them to go into the next game on a narrow defeat than the heavier one they might have faced had they thrown more men forward. If they can produce more threat, they can get something out of Iran and maybe even Mexico.
I bet Portugal are in for some stick off their press & fans for this, though.
Good first half, poor second one. Seems to be a pattern. In the afternoon the heat can explain that but for these evening matches I'm not sure what's going on, a bit early for fatigue.
Portgual could have a 4-0 lead after the first half. That Pauleta opportunity on the first minute, and Ronaldo had three excellent opportunities. Portugal ended up playing with horrible organization and didn't look any good at all. They were only saved by the fact that Angola can't play football at all, so they couldn't equalize.

Ronaldo has been a disaster all season, I wasn't expecting him to score even with the chances he got.

Bit harsh, they played a good first half, did a solid job defending all match and their midfield was quite strong as well. Just up front they looked a bit weak. Portugal was better, but Angola gave them a good run for their money.
