ok well I dunno if this will have any impact on you people but last night I had a dream and boy it was NOT PRETTY. I was watching the Canada game and we were down 5-1 and there was still time left and I automatically though "**** the Voyageurs Pool, why did I pick a 2-1 Canada win" well hopefully this dream dows not come tru. Although I dremt watching the game so maybe sportsnet will pick up the feed

As of right now I don't. I moved and had to change internet accounts, and I don't have everything up and running yet.

Portugal 3 - Canada 0

Central defence pairing of McKenna and Reda, with their lack of pace, will look like they are participating in an underwater tai chi class as the quicker Portuguese attack will be up 2 - 0 by the 35th minute, in spite of Sutton's quality saves. Other bold predictions:

- DeGuzman will be shoulder charged off the ball and thus lose possession at least three times

- Hutchinson and Imhoff will lead the team in passing giveaways (5 a piece)

- Radzinski will throw both arms up in despair over the lack of quality service at least seven times; he will then proceed to squander a glorious opportunity after the Portuguese defence fail to deal effectively with a Staltieri cross

- DeRosario will try to beat three Portuguese defenders precisely six times, all failures; he will then make a clever move, swerve an inswinging cross towards goal that the keeper will make a meal of, the ball hitting the bar, cleared, and resulting in a corner

- On the first goal the Portuguese striker will clearly beat McKenna for pace, and McKenna will blame everyone else but himself for the goal

- Klukowski will come on as sub in central defence for an injured Reda and will impress

- Brennan will be booked for hammering Ronaldo

- Bernier will play and prove to be a carbon copy of Jason Bent: zero attacking contributions but will work hard defensively in midfield

- Occean will score off of another Brennan cross but the goal will be disallowed because of the striker's foul challenge on Carvalho

- Peters will come on for the last 4 minutes

- % of possession: Portugal 65%, Canada 35%

- a fight will break out between Canadian players after the match over who will get to exchange shirts will Ronaldo!

- then anyone on this messageboard who were able to see the match live will blame Mark Watson for his poor coaching resulting in the three goals given up.
