The Portugal v US news It won't happen "Nao jogo" http://www.ojogo.pt/19-78/artigo272124.htm probably over greed
That's too bad. They'd draw a huge crowd for USSF in Foxboro. FYI for anyone heading up New England way: there is only one place in the US where you can see a public statue dedicated to a great Portuguese soccer player, and that's Lowell, Mass, outside the Massachussetts Sports Hall of Fame (or maybe it's Sports Museum... it's been a couple of years.
Huh? As far as I can remember, U.S. Soccer never announced this match, tickets have not been sold for it, and it's more than a week prior to it... I don't see how it is at all similar to the Japan game, when the opponent pulled out on short notice, after tickets had been sold.
I am sorry, but I have drinken plenty of Bud, and plenty of Sagres. Unless you are into beer that tastes like paste, this really isn't a contest. Bud wins.
Someone seems to have reported the game to FIFA. It's showing up on their fixture list: http://www.fifa.com/en/news/fixtures/men.html Don't know how long it's been on the list, so I don't know if it hasn't been "unreported" yet, or if this is new.
I sat in front of two Brits at a World Cup game in Japan last year and asked them what they thought of Bud, the only suds available in WC venues. They loved it and were baffled when I told them it's not held in high esteem by connaisseurs in the States.
Re: Re: U.S. Portugal Off again? If they normally drink Carlsberg, then I can see why they would say that. Or maybe they were just trying to be respectful to Americans.
