Portugal looking strong

Group D finished as expected with Portugal looking strong after finishing with all nine points. Their almost reserved team looked pretty good and shows the depth in their squad though they will be most probably playing Holland in round 2 and it won’t be easy.

Iran finally managed a point when they too came from behind to draw against Angola. Though a disappointing campaign for Iran who atleast would have liked atleast a draw against Mexico and a win against Angola. Angola’s result just summed up disappointing challenge by African teams in this cup apart from Ghana hardly any other team lived up to the challenge and just goes to show though they have individual talents they fail to capitalize as a team, something which requires work.

So now Portugal and Mexico both must be watching Argentina vs. Holland match with keen interest since both of them will be playing one team from this match.
