The portuguese soccer team keeps swinging between brilliant and disastrous exhibitions and reminding me why I prefer other sports to soccer. After a quite humiliating tie against Liechtenstein, whose population wouldn’t fill Lisbon main stadium, Portugal defeated Russia today by an impressive 7-1. As usual, for the next few days, soccer fans will formulate new theories (or proclaim the correctness of their previous ones) on how we can win the world cup, foresee the next results and, of course, blame someone for this roller-coaster performances. It’s not a pattern, it’s just soccer passion and there’s nothing wrong about it, I just don’t understand it, I guess.
