Portugal beats Iceland 3-1


Paulo Bento seems to be the real deal. He has delivered good soccer, and the players seem very comfortable. I know that it is still early, but it seems that the Portuguese soccer federation made a good choice with Paulo Bento as the National Team coach.
Bento has brought the classic 4-3-3 back to the NT, and the team is now attacking a lot better than when they had Carlos Queiroz at the helm.
How about the Portuguese midfield with Raul Meireles, Joao Moutinho and Carlos Martins. Lots of flair and creativity in the midfield.
I think that Portugal is back to their fine form that they had in the last 10 years or so.

A note has to be made for Cristiano Ronaldo.
Not only is he scoring goals for Portugal, but he was even playing defense yesterday. There were many times when CR7 went after attackers with some slide tackles, he was chasing down second balls, I mean, this is the best player in the world that is doing this.
Great effort by Ronaldo.
