Portugal versus Brazil-The under 20 world cup finals in Columbia is going to be an all latina affair between two time winner Portugal versus four time winner Brazil.In semi-final match ups yesterday both teams made it by beating their opponents by 2 goals to zero.Portugal got first half goals from Danilo and Nelson Oliveira for their victory over France.The Portuguese team frustrated the French team who despite their brilliant play could not find the back of the net.In fact the Portuguese team was playing their sixth match in a row without conceding a goal.The only goals that have gone through the net of their goal keeper is during penalty shootouts with Argentina. That is the team that came close to knocking them out of the competition.
Brazil has been brilliant throughout the competition and yesterday was no exception.They toyed with the Mexicans for eighty minutes before the goals started to come.Henrique connected with two brilliant goals,the first a beautiful header and the second a brilliant finish with his right leg for the final margin of victory. The first goal was at the 80th minute and the second was at the 84th minute of play.With two teams that are tactically sound we should be looking forward to an excellent finals come Sunday the 21st of August 2011.If I have to make a prediction,I would say go with Brazil.They seem to have the ability to come up with goals when needed.
