TELEGRAPH.U.K./ Brasil soccer star Kaka is angry about his dismissal from the upcoming Portugal match for a light push on Ivory Coaster Abdelkader Keita, who he says over-reacted. "I should have controlled myself a bit more," Kaka said, blasting Keita for "simulation." "These things should be avoided - you should avoid taking risks at a World Cup." Kaka spoke of the strong natural rivalry with Portugal: "Yes... after all there are three Brasilians in their team (Deco, Pepe and Liedson)."
Portugal is unbeaten in 17 matches following their 7-0 thrashing of North Korea and coach Carlos Queiroz hopes to avenge a 6-2 friendly defeat to Brasil in 2008. "We don't want the Brasilians to score against us this time – it is a question of honor," said Queiroz. To date, the Brasilians have won 12 and the Portuguese four of 18 matches with two drawn.
