I'm a little bit sad because Portugal is out of the FIFA World Cup 2014, but the most important is that it managed to be there.
Well, I'll make a resume of the Portugal participation at the Cup.
The first game of Portugal was with Germany. Everybody knew that it would be a difficult match, but the result was a disappointment. World was expecting more from Cristiano Ronaldo, but a lot of people forgot that he isn't in his best days. He got injured before the World Cup begin.
The result of the match was four for Germany and zero for Portugal. I could see the disappointment in the eyes of CR7, but the fault was not from him. Pepe didn't have a good behavior and was expulsed from the game with a red card and the team didn't support Cristiano when he did his dangerous attacks, but things weren't lost for Portugal which had more two matches.
In the second game, Portugal played better than in the first match and had a very good possession of the ball. Nani scored a goal at the first minutes of the first time. Everything was going well for Portugal and I thought: - yes! they can do it, they can revert the situation.
When the first time finished Portugal was winning USA, but in the second time USA were becoming stronger than before and the players were running more too, whereas Portugal was controlling more the ball. USA scored two goals at the second time and the second was scored by Dempsey at 81'. Portugal never gave up and after the second goal by USA, portuguese players were playing more than ever. Everything seemed lost for Portugal and USA were celebrating its victory, when suddenly CR7 did an amazing pass to Varela who scored the second goal for Portugal at 95' and Portugal draw USA (2-2).
Things weren't good for Portugal, but hope is hope. Germany needed to win USA (3-0) and Portugal had to win Ghana (2-0), because this were the only way for Portugal.
Yesterday, Portugal won Ghana (2-1), but the game wasn't good. Ronaldo scored the second goal at 80' and had lots of opportunities to score more and more goals, but unfortunately lucky wasn't with him. Germany won USA (1-0) and the dream of Portugal was over.
I stayed really sad because I know that the portuguese team could do more and they know this too, but it's not the end, 2018 here we go ;).
