    In fact, the Switzerland coach is Richard Alain, a former player...

    I mean, therea re many portugueses coachs in Juniors, youth, etc..., but Richard Alain is coach since 2002 or 2003... There is also Pedro Antunes, that is going to coach the Schoolboys at the European Championships of this year....

    SWITZERLAND will also held the World "A" Championship of 2007, in twi cities: Wimmis (1st phase) and Montreux (Final phase).

    This is a resume of the classifications of World Championships held in Switzerland:

    1939 (Montreux) Winner: England (Portugal 3rd)
    1948 (Montreux) Winner: PORTUGAL
    1953 (Geneva) Winner: Italy (Portugal 2nd)

    Portugal win 3-2, despite some rather bad calls made against us in the first and second half.

    Sergio Silva is just beast, no wonder he's the captain. Also, am I the only one who finds the resemblance between him and Christian Vieri of AC Milan uncanny?

    The next game will be against... SPAIN!

    In my opinion, this was the best game until now. Mot thje Best exibition of Portugal, but one of the best rink-hockey games, because of the constant Counter-attacks, many strikes, a close result, and the velocity of players. I just think that Portugal was unlucky (Ricardo Barreiros missed two opportunities!) as Switzerland was (A ball on the post and the goal that could be the 2-2, but the referees didnt saw...

    I just hope that, As I told before, a close result with Switzerland could open their eyes to BEAT Spain...

    I agree this was the most competitive match I've seen this Mundial. Very much needed for Portugal who were steam rolling through their other opponents. They should be well prepared for the Semi's.
