Happy Summer--and Viva Portugal!


Happy first day of Summer!

Yet in South Africa where the World Cup is being played it is actually the first day of Winter. You could almost say "Christmas came early" for Portugal with its stunning 7-0 victory over North Korea.

Not letting Capetown's cold rain dampen spirits, Portugal played North Korea in a tough but well--paced game. Some recalled the 1966 matchup between both countries in the World Cup.

The near historic score in a World Cup game puts Portugal in serious contention and seals the fate of the North Koreans. One ponders that after this humilitating rout in Capetown if the North Koreans will dare return to Pyongyang and the wrath of the "Dear Leader" Kim Jong-il? This could be very interesting beyond sports scores.
