wm bro, hehe, i m not fully back...hehe...yet to start. could not resist not logging into sajha, so here i m. hehe..as always...unexpected intrusion...hehe yes, they are potentially the tournament fav. but then "conservative" soccer followers always have this tendency to put them aside coz they are pitted against sides like Germany, Italy, France et. al. who have won the cup at least one time in the past. people don't seem to put a break on their thinking to feel that some of the relatively less popular names can also make it to the WC winner hall of fame, hence the tag underdog. hehe we know, if we compare the remaining teams in this WC by player to player, Portugal is right their with them, if not at the top (or may be as the tournament concludes). I am desperately waiting for the 9th grand finale, when a new country will make it to the winner list. GO PORTUGALLLLLLL!!! Cheers Loote
