Portugal vs Brazil Match Preview
By Matias Vulej, Jun 23rd 2010
Almost 200 years ago Brazil broke free from the Kingdom of Portugal. Now both nations will be facing each other on relatively familiar ground, to see if the Portuguese makes it to the round of 16.
Portugal is back on track after a historic victory over the Korean squad. Brazil has not entertained the crowds as much as expected, and their goal has been breached in every single match of this competition. Kaka's controversial red card against Cote d'Ivoire will call for some modifications in Dunga's strategy, for he will be lacking the play maker that made their classic 4-3-1-2 formation shine at their best; Julio Baptista might be the natural substitute, but Daniel Alves, Ramires or Nilmar have also chances of occupying his position. Portugal's coach Queiroz will try to catch the Carioca squad off guard with another unexpected scheme, will it work against the most experienced squad in this competition.
Will the world witness something similar to this joke on Wednesday night at the Soccer City Stadium in Johannesburg?
England vs Algeria Match Preview
By Brian Moore, Jun 17th 2010
Both teams will see this match as a must win when Algeria square up against England in a Group C encounter in Cape Town on Friday.
Algeria have never made it past the group stage in their two previous World Cup appearances in 1982 and 1986, although they did cause quite a stir when they upset the West Germans in 1982.
