6th installment of FIFA's Futsal World Cup. Portugal's best finish was 3rd in 2000. In 2004 they were knocked out of the second round group with a draw and loss to eventual Finalist Italy and Champions Spain respectively. Group B Portugal Italy USA Thailand Paraguay First game is on October 2nd vs Paraguay, followed by Italy on the 4th, USA on the 6th and Thailand on the 8th http://www.fifa.com/futsalworldcup/matches/index.html
Portugal won their opening game vs Paraguay 3-2 http://www.fifa.com/futsalworldcup/matches/round=250124/match=300055119/index.html There are video highlights through the link.
That just became the easiest group after winning vs paraguay i meen USA doesnt know how to score italy can only beat thailand on a penalty and thailand i think portugal can give them a nice 9 or 10 nuttin easily other then paraguay no competition.... will have to wait until the next phase for portugal to actually need to break a sweat, and thats if they have brazil in there way bc even the defending champs are struggling this year...
Portugal beat Thailand 3-2 In OT but doesn't advance to the next round. Paraguay, Italy and Portugal all finished 3-1 in Pool play, but the tiebreakers didn't go Portugal's way. So we beat the groups winner Paraguay but end up not advancing.
by a 2 goal differential we are out. Disappointing to know that there will be far less deserving sides in the next round.
