way to go Os Navegadores
Carlos Queiroz, FIFA, gifts, Korea DPR, North Korea, Os Navegadores, portugal, Portuguese, The Explorers, World CupThis is the biggest shock of this year world cup so far… No country will expect going to the world cup, get thrashed then create a history… Well, it happen to North Korea… or Korea DPR.. when they were thrashed 7 nil by Portugal… 😛
This is what the Portugal coach (Carlos Queiroz) said who dubbed his team as Os Navegadores in Spanish… or The Explorers in English… “Fantastic, just fantastic. That was one of the greatest wins I’ve ever seen from the national side. Everyone’s over the moon”… yea, sure everyone is on the moon… except Korea DPR 😛
Os Navegadores is the nickname given to the team in honor to the nation’s famous wayfarers, Bartolomeu Dias and Vasco da Gama, who respectively reached and then rounded the Cape of Good Hope back in the late 15th century. This time, returning to the southern tip of Africa for their meeting with Korea DPR in Cape Town on Monday, Portugal’s modern-day pathfinders made some history of their own in racking up a 7-0 win, the biggest in their FIFA World Cup history.
Now, since Portugal has made their world cup history, everyone is wondering what is Carlos Queiroz’s coach gifts to his team?… Or is he going give gifts to his team only or give gifts to the whole people in his homeland… the Portuguese…? Is he going to take Portugal to the final?… and probably win the FIFA World Cup 2010?… We wait and see…
