Since my wife is persian I know how Iran plays and they are going to be real difficult to play against. The most important thing Portugal can do is not to under estimate.

I here the every player on the team is about 6 ft.

Iranians are big and are great in sports..They are very tough, but lack the experience and skill of portuguese players. My son have the skill of a portuguese soccer player, but the toughness of a Persian. He's only 7 years old, but when he start moving the ball around he's very difficult to stop.

Unfortunately, I never been to Iran, but it is a beautiful country and It's capital is consider the Paris of Asia..Persian people are very similar to Europeans and are not religious fanatics. The funny thing is when we went to Portugal everyone took my wife as portuguese. They will speak to me in English and to my wife in portuguese.

where I live, in a area of Toronto there is lots of iranian people...
so if Portugal lossed to them it would be even worse for me they will go crazy outside I will have to seek refuge downtown in the Portuguese areas.

If you look at Quaresma he looks Iranian but I think our heritage looks apart but I get Mistaken for a Spanish or Italian but its cool to see the different Cultures.

When I visited Toronto three years ago we eat in Persian restaurant on York street. The Persian people in washington dc are not taxi drivers, but are extremely rich.

I live at willowdale right now off of yonge street, not to far from downsview actually.
used to live in Don mills area, and Scarborough for a bit.

around my area I often get mistaken for being Persian becuase they live here so its more expected.
but when im out Alot of people guess right and ask if im Portuguese
but if not they usually think Spanish or Italian

**z187** · 15-04-2006, 06:45 AM

I have a feeling Pauleta will score in this one..

I dont expect any big thrashings..

if Portugal scores early I think it could turn into a thrashing of 3-0,3-1, 4-1 maybe even 5-0

but if not will be 2-0 (my serious prediction)

but if Portugal doesnt bring their A game I definitely see Angola shocking us and winning!!!

After coming out poorly in the openers of the last two tournaments (04 Greece, 02 USA)
I have a feeling they learned their mistakes and will come out strong in the opener

One things for sure it will be Hottttttttttttttttttttttttt in Germany

Who is EXCITED?
