Portugal (POR) vs Brasil (BRA): World Cup 2010: FIFA Group G Deciding Match in Round of 32

Portugal faces Brazil on June 25 at 4pm local time (2pm GMT, 11am EDT, 7am PDT) at Durban Stadium, on the beautiful, dangerous coast of KwaZulu Natal. We will be providing live Twitter coverage via SCAN- just click on the widget below to see a full detail page as the fate of Group D is decided.

Brazil is on fire. The Samba Kings are a lock for the round of 16, and are battling for the top spot in Group G. Portugal has just dismantled North Korea by a stunning 7-1. However, they must play without Kaka, who was red-carded in the last match.

Portugal only has to draw in order to advance. If they lose, they risk elimination, provided Ivory Coast (whom Brazil defeated 3-1) defeats North Korea by enough goals.

Hey, Italy was just eliminated-- rule nothing out.

Players to watch
Fabio Coentrao v Maicon

Given the attacking bent of Brazilian right-back Maicon and Portugal’s left-back Fabio Coentrao, a high-octane contest of skill and lung power is sure to ensue on Friday. Indeed, the Inter Milan defender has already got off the mark at the finals with a stunning strike against Korea DPR, while the Benfica flyer was an integral part of Portugal’s demolition of the same opponents.
