In the new edition of the legendary World Cup quarter-finals of 1966 against the world rankings-105. Cristiano Ronaldo was guilty but over long distances a taste of his abilities. Only shortly before the end he was allowed to laugh at his quaint stumbling goal in the presence of national hero Eusebio, who was 44 years ago significantly involved in the 5-3 against the Asians, but still. After a long no goal of Real striker his fans a match against North Korea had promised.

Only in the initial phase provided North Korea a real struggle and put little pinpricks. A long shot by defender Cha Jong Hyok stroked napp on goal by Eduardo (11 over). Seven minutes later, the Portuguese goalkeeper by Hong Yong Jo was examined in the rebound Pak Nam Chol headed too high. While Cristiano Ronaldo usually showed only showpiece, and Tiago Meireles drove the game of the World Cup Fourth effectively forward. The replacement for the injured at the hip Deco was only after half an hour, a gap in the stable at the beginning of the defensive outsider. The fine through pass pushed the agile Meireles a safe.

The Fourth World Cup in 2006 could not develop further opportunities, which was also due to midfielder Deco. The 32-year-old from Chelsea was just a shadow of itself, was the offensive play of the “Selecção” no momentum and was replaced after about an hour. Since the Ivorians little penetrating power developed, the action was mostly from between the penalty areas. The fear of a residue played with both teams and paralyzed the offensive efforts .

The Portuguese came after nearly an hour in the vicinity of the opponent’s goal. After Deco’s cross with a header Liedson examined the Ivorian goalkeeper Boubacar Barry. The hoped-offensive fireworks both teams did not burn but it will also in the second half. With increasing time flattened the encounter, a fact that Drogba was able to change anything. The football hero of the whole continent, with posters like “Drogba – was received Mach Africa proud,” remained pale during his brief appearance.
