Time to Dream Big

I’m still feeling great about the performance of our team last night. Sure there are some problems that need to be addressed (like Goncalves insisting on one striker), but overall the Palancas put on a performance that showed the world that they play with heart and courage.

While we can all spend today feeling proud of our team, let’s hope the players aren’t celebrating too much. They still have a job at hand and they shouldn’t be satisfied with one point.

Group D is wide open and if things fall into place Angola has a very real possibility to advance. First and foremost the team has to beat Iran. This will not be an easy task, but it can be done if we play up to our capabilities.

In addition to a win, we also will need some help from either Mexico or Portugal. One of the two will need to beat each other. We’ll know which one to root for after Portugal plays Iran today.

One game does not make a World Cup, but Angola’s tie against Mexico gives us hope. The dream is still alive. We can do it!
