The wonderful thing about many sports is that at the upper level of competition there are many good teams and a few great teams, but on any given day, anyone can beat anyone. Sure, Portugal is probably a lot better that the US and Korea, but they're gone. France? Argentina? Both should "probably still be in it....but.............

Tell ya' one thing for sure.......I would never bet against Korea in this series. They are good, not great, but the heart and home field advantage make them dangerous.
