World Cup 2010, Day 11: Portugal Sings in the Rain

Portugal 7 - 0 North Korea
Chile 1 - 0 Switzerland
Spain 2 - 0 Honduras



Portugal v North Korea

Cue the MGM music, this was Portugal's day to bring it on Gene Kelly style. It started around the 28th minute with a goal by Raul Meireles. Meirles's shot was the first of many cracks leading to a total collapse in North Korea's defense, which was overly stretched also because of a strangely inept goalie, Ri Myong-Guk. If this were a Snicker's commercial, North Korea would have fared better with Betty White as goalkeeper than wispy, willowy Myong-Guk who practically laid out a welcome mat for Portugal.

Sorry North Korea, sometimes when it rains, it pours...
