I would bet Brazil, just because i can't stand the Portugese team. The Brazilians are fielding pretty weak lineup, though.

Let me just say that this is the worst commentating I have heard - ever.
While tommy smyth and derek rae may say stupid things, they at least get the player names correct, and raise the excitement in their voices at the correct times.

Yup, it looked like he started tearing up during the national anthem. His highlight of the game was five stepovers without moving, before a Brazilian player ran into him and he fell down. They gave the the Brazilian a yellow. :rolleyes:

Why? Did he realize that he left his purse in the cab on the way over to the Emirates?

LOL! They just showed Arsene & Mourinho in the stands. They were both on the phone at the same time. Think they were talking to each other?

The whole portugues team just rubs me the wrong wayI admire Portugal's consistenct approach...they even dive in friendlies. ;)
I was not impressed with Brazil's FBs, keeper, and forwards. I thought Gilberto had a decent game but as usual was left covering too much ground when Brazil pushed forward towards the end. Brazil's tactics were a bit of a mismatch with the player available and the opponent. I wouldn't make a bet on Dunga being around for too long.
FSC's announcers sucked...like usual. I loved how they barely knew some of the players even ones that you'd expect them to know.

I would be on the longest odds outcome. Friendlies really are hard to pick a winner from. No team really gives a crap, and you can't garauntee any sort of line up.
It really is disgusting the price Arsenal charge to watch these matches too. I refuse to go on principle!

I reckon Portugal will win this one 2-0. My bet is Simao will get one goal.
