this is it.
few hours away from the most anticipated match of my life.
its the showdown.
its gonna be a tough fight.
tears will be shed.
one would be victorious.
one would fall.
its the semi final clash
between '98 champs france.
and the my team which i have supported from '98
the team which has come from a level ranking of 56 in the year 1996.
to the incredible 11th in the year 2004.
consisting of the experience of veterans like figo
he can lead the team to its first ever world cup final.
young blood is also rushing through the heart of the portugal team.
deco, ronaldo, simao, miguel.
they make a difference in the squad.
and they had in the past few performances.
the "diamond" formation,
would be hard to break in the clash tonight.
with costinha recalled from suspension,
he s the holding central midfield of the portuguese side.
ronaldo and figo would take the flanks.
maniche would be the central midfield player.
spraying the ever deadly balls to pauleta.
and of course.
deco would lead the attack from midfleid.
france have lots of experience.
and its gonna be a problem for portugal.
with good displays against the dutch and england,
dont write them off just yet.
im been praying for them to enter the final for years.
the day has come.
everyone appears to be on france's side.
portugal, keep the faith.
i'll be always on your side.
-from your faithful avid, die-hard fan.
