Canada 0 - Portugal 0

Canada forms a human 'rectangle', similar to a 'pyramid', and plugs the net. Here is how the rectangle line-up will look (heavier players forming the base of the rectangle):

Dero-Radz-Hirsch-(Hirsch left arm)

Bernier-deGuz-Hutch-Brennan

Stalteri-McKenna-Reda-Kluka

Hirsch will gaurd the top right corner corner (his left), which will be the only vulnerable space.

Final Score: 0 -0

First Portuguese Carded player: Ronaldo - swearing at the ref.

Actually, I do see a 0-0 draw. Canada has a way of negating more skillful teams sometimes (see Brazil).

:D:D

i guess the four days of training will be to build up the stamina of maintaining the rectangle. Or does the rectangle disassemble and reassemble with the fluidity of chinese tumbling gymnasts?

It's a static rectangle.

Canada 1 Portugal 1

Canadian scorer: Occean 61', header (like the one against NI)

Canadian card: De Guzman

It may be Hirschfeld's finest outing, and the Portuguese will

not be happy.
