World Cup 06 Portugal v Mexico

Portugal v Mexico

Portugal v Mexico (Kick-off 3.00pm). Jim Rosenthal presents live coverage of the final Group D clash at the AufSchalke Arena in Gelsenkirchen, where a point or more would see Portugal top the group. The nations have only met once before, despite having played on the biggest stage numerous times in the past, and both will be keen to qualify as group winners in the best possible style. Portugal have a surprisingly poor record in the World Cup, only once reaching the knockout stage, back in 1966 when they went on to lose to England in the semi-finals. However, they remain one of Europe's best chances of success in Germany, and will expect to defeat the Mexicans despite being below them in the world rankings, With commentary by Clive Tyldesley and Gareth Southgate
