My father, being a rabid football fan, subscribes to the Portuguese football newspaper "A Bola". Recently they have begun a series of articles analyzing teams qualified for Mexico. I have been translating the articles and will post them to the net. Some explanations: Football really is a big deal in Portugal, and people do regularly analyze it at the level presented in these articles. The style of the writer of these articles tends to be somewhat verbose. This coupled with the different structure of the Portuguese language can lead to slightly unwieldy sentences. Editorial comments [mine] are place between square brackets. The opinions presented aren't necessarily mine.
