North Korea: The North Koreans showed great effort and resilience against arguably the world’s best team, but came away with nothing to show for it in a 2-1 loss. North Korea sits at the bottom of Group G with 0 points. The game itself looked to be a pretty even game, but on paper; the North Koreans looked like they were man handled. With just 11 shots and just 2 on goal, the Koreans were lucky to get one of those two past a great goalie in Julio Cesar. The North Koreans are tactical and try to play mistake free soccer. They were flagged just once for offsides, however; committed 10 fouls in the game. The North Koreans are the favorites among soccer picks to finish dead last in Group G, they will need to play harder and better if they wish to disappoint many of their doubters.

Portugal: The Portuguese played to a 0-0 draw against a tough Ivory Coast team. The game proved to be as even on paper as did on the scoreboard. Both teams took 7 shots with 1 shot on goal. Not the typical play for two teams with far too much talent to produce just a total of two shots on goal. Portugal comes into their fifth World Cup appearance ranked 3rd by FIFA soccer predictions. Center back Pepe is questionable, currently rehabbing from injury. Portugal needs him, as their defense is questionable and their goalies are inexperienced.

Head to Head Matchup: The two teams played each other in the 1966 World Cup picks, where the Portuguese won 5-3 with a remarkable comeback in one of the all-time classic World Cup matches.
