I just listened to the Portugal-Georgia friendly on Saturday, May 31!. Guess what?
Portugal was awarded a penalty in the first half. Simao scored!!! To bring the game Portugal 2- 0 Georgia. The narrator Pedro Ferreira on Portuguese radio Antena 1, said after Simao scored that "For me he's the one who has to score the penalties for the national team. If I was Scolari I'd always make Simao score the penalties. He's the player that is most concentrated in those crucial moments."
