Abel Xavier is already paying off dividends in the stands.
A large contingent of Portuguese fans showed up and took up an entire section to see Xavi in action.
So far, Xavi's looked pretty good. He had a nice long ball that set up the second goal, although he stood flat-footed on RSL's first goal. His touch and heading ability is, as you would expect, at a high level.
Do you know who the other new supporter group was there for? Pavon perhaps? They looked latin.
ReplyDeleteLet's guess how many of these portugese will be at next weekend's match?
ReplyDeleteI'll predict about 1/10th the crowd.
michael is right..
ReplyDeletebut maybe not 1/10th of the crowd though. maybe half scatered all over the stadium.
Are we a bit jealous that so many portuguese showed up for Xavier's first match....we do not need to be at the game to support one of our own. Money doesn't grow on trees and we own TV's to watch the games!
