[laughs] Portugal fans were celebrating a big comeback yesterday afternoon. Comes after their team was under heavy criticism for their draw against the Democratic Republic of Congo last week. I will say, I was going through a park when the Democratic Republic of Congo scored, and a group of people who were watching that game, who supported the DRC, went wild as the ball went in the net. So you win some, you lose some. Yesterday, Portugal won five-nil shutout against Uzbekistan. The team's iconic leader, Cristiano Ronaldo, became the first player to score at six different World Cups, and Toronto's Little Portugal neighborhood was out in full force yesterday celebrating the win.
