Not bad. I quite liked seeing Ronaldo get put on his ass there in the middle of all those crossovers. Nice work on the defense.

The hair gel may have been a poor choice today, Ronaldo... Portugal gets the award for douchiest hair.

Disappointing. The North Korean's might never be seen from again after their last game.

Well, that was a couple of pretty goals. The last one especially.
For the sake of the North Korean players' families, I hope it doesn't get any worse.

North Korea was up 3 goals to Portugal in 1966 and Portugal came back...maybe we'll see the same thing in reverse......nevermind

This is simply gorgeous football to watch from the Portuguese.

Truly wonder about the safety of the N Koreans when they return home after this display. That Kim guy is freaking bananas.
7-0.....wow.

Well, the North Koreans certainly look like good sports. More so than can be said for most of the teams in the tourney. A shame that there is so much celebration while they are being embarrassed while playing for that country.

One would think Portugal would ease off a bit at this stage....not really sure you have to look up and thank god with a celebratory kiss when you go up 7-0. Then again, I've never scored in the World Cup!

No. Goal differential matters.

yeah goal difference matters. What if Drogba scores 10 on these poor saps.

I would find it hard not to feel some sympathy for the team of guys that are there playing for a country they would probably just as rather defect from if they could do it without risk to their families. Especially when looking to pile up the goals in a match that's out of reach.

I actually don't know. Should the Korean's not get the beating that they deserve? Are they not owed that respect?

Chile has been one of the most surprising teams to me. I didn't know very much about them but they looked really good against Honduras. Very good ball movement and attack.

You don't know that. Maybe they are proud to be North Korean and under that system. You're in China IIRC. Don't you run into people all the time who are proud to be in PRC, praises it and bash everything else. They'd never leave!
No sympathy here. It's sports and Portugal did what it needed to do.
