Friends or foes?

Angola forward Pedro Mantorras is all too familiar with the Portugal’s national team. Playing for Benfica in the Portuguese League, Mantorras will be playing against his friends when Angola takes on their former colonial ruler, Portugal.

Being the debutants here, the Black Antelopes are considered the weakest team in this group. Their strength lies in their ability to play as a cohesive unit. But this should not pose any problem for Phil Scolari, who knows about winning the World Cup.
