Portugal around the corner

When you're abroad, a good way to find a bar of your preference is by looking at the outdoor beer sign: Guiness stands for irish bar, Foster's for australian, Budwiser for american (yes, it's a "beer"), Corona for Mexican, Franziskaner for German... and if you want a Portuguese bar, well, just follow the red light ;-)

Today I found this one by chance... I think it's a good sign for today. It's the FIFA World Cup 2010 stage draw... and these were the results for Portugal:

Brazil, North Korea, Ivory Coast and... Portugal!

It's going to be a crazy World Cup! Let the party begin with samba and Super Bock ;-)

Road to World Cup 2010

Another great football night and Portugal is qualified for the final stage for next year's FIFA World Cup.

But tonight I decided to watch another game, France vs Ireland, on an irish bar! The ambiance as great, everyone glued to the giant screens, Guiness beer for almost everyone (the french supporters were more into Cokes and french beers)... but unfortunately Ireland didn't qualify! Thanks to an "illegal" goal, scored with the help... of a hand! :-P

Anyway, the important is Portugal will be in South Africa next year! We are going to have many soccer nights... and afternoons! A good excuse to gather people around a table... a full table ;-)
