  Well, I hope the contrary ... I hope that Angola wins at least 3:0, so
that Angola can advance to the round of the last 16.

  Portugal will advance, and Iran will fall out, those are facts, but
the third match for all four teams in the group next Wednesday, June 21,
will decide if Mexico or Angola get to the next round. Angola surprised
many last night as they withstood Mexico 0:0, so earning their first
point, after the bad match against Portugal on June 11 in Cologne.

  Mexico now has 4 points, Angola 1, and if Angola wins against Iran,
and Mexico loses against Portugal, both will have 4 points, and the
total goal relation will decide. So, I want Angola to win at least 3:0
against Iran... I have been in Hannover this afternoon, where a very
large part of the 2000 Angolans who came for the World Cup are housed,
meeting some of my old friends from Angola.

  So, anybody admiring Ahmadinedjad, please bear with me that I stand by
my Angolan friends... they would meet Argentina in the next round.
Hello, Nestor!

  By the way, today was the first win by an African team: Ghana beat the
Czech Republic 2:0, the Czech Republic which had beaten the USA 3:0

PS: for those not so familiar with football (which the US-Americans call
soccer, because they call their version of Rugby "football"):

- the points system: the winner gets 3 points, the loser nothing, if
there is a draw (like 0:0, 1:1, etc) both teams get 1 point.

- fundamental: "das Runde muß in das Eckige" (German - "the round has to
get in the angular");

- the ball is round and the match takes 90 minutes;

- after the match is before the match...
