Don't tell me the outcome... going to watch it later tonight when I get home.
But Quaresma? You bet. I'd toss in a Camo and a Marchionni for that guy. He'd be the closest thing we could perhaps do to replacing Neddy.
It's in Arizona I believe, which guarantees it will be a home match for Mexico.

Am sure the USA-Mexico game would be a more promising game to watch
That was a fun match to watch. About as good as a friendly gets. Sure, it was scoreless through the first 82 minutes, but talk about a lot of action.
Brazil fielded primarily their second and third stringers... outside of Kaká, Adriano as a sub, and the occasional Edmilson (who acted like he was on crank), there were a number of folks familiar with the Portuguese Superliga like Helton and Diego. They had the best chances in the beginning, so Portugal looked a touch underachieving despite the evenness of the match -- especially on Euro soil.
Caneira was completely worthless. His defending made Brazil look like the Harlem Globetrotters. Ferreira was just less of a joke as a replacement. But having Jorge Andrade back makes the entire team different... Carvalho can head up field (and score goals!) confident that the back line isn't all wankers. He changes the whole nature of the team.
After some realy great saves from Ricardo, he was hardly tested. But I have to give Petit my MOM of all people. That guy refused to let anything get past him -- like he was Edgar Davids in his best bulldog days. Best match I've seen him play for the NT.
I'm a little shocked they named C. Ronaldo as captain, but he did alright. He put on top speed a lot. But Deco, Quaresma, and Miguel (who also had a particularly awesome game, btw) were their best forces in setting up the attack.
Tiago had an OK game once he had the ball -- and some stupid fouls.
Speaking of Quaresma, who had a good impact game... what's with the 'do? He looked like a bad cross between Rio Ferdinand and the Center Georges Pompidou with those messed up cornrows. The only thing that looked more terrible was the shirt Dunga was wearing. He needs his mom to dress him, and that may not be for long if Brazil doesn't start cranking out Ws.
Funny seeing both Arsene Wenger and Jose Mourinho in the stands. At one point they were both on their cell phones, almost looking like they were talking to each other.

Dunga and Kaká on the same team? Is this some kind of a joke?
Not as much of the joke Dunga was wearing for a shirt. It was 10x worse with the jacket off...
And Quaresma's hair... what was up with that? A distraction to the Brazilians perhaps... he had a decent match.
Brazil didn't field a full-strength squad and, to be honest, they created more good chances than Portugal. So I wouldn't count them down after the loss yesterday...
