Portugal 1 - Armenia 0 - Just Enough

Portugal beat Armenia by the score of 1-0, in a game where the goal and the 3 points were the most important thing. I'm not going to go into a long analysis of the game; i'll summarize it by saying that the performance wasn't all that great, but in soccer, goals win games not performances and in that aspect Portugal deserved to win. Portugal will need to play a lot better on Wednesday when they face Finland. The Fins are a lot better than Armenia and have as much riding on the result as Portugal.

As always, it seems to be the norm for the national team to make the Portuguese people suffer until the very last whistle, it's a tradition by now. Portugal really didn't need to be in this position, but they head into the final round of qualifying looking for 1 spot out of the 4 still up for grabs for the Euro 08. Poland has already qualified, which leaves Portugal, Servia and Finland to fight for the very last spot in Group A. - "Sofre Coracao"
