The Angolan soccer team still have a chance to qualify for the knockout stage of the Germany 2006 World Cup, but will have to defeat Iran on Wednesday by more than two goals and wait for Portugal's victory over Mexico.
Accoring to the Angola Press Angop, this scenario seems difficult for the Palancas Negras, which have been unproductive in attack at the tournament.
Thus a different attitude is necessary for victory, and they have to be bolder and more careful in the defense.
Critics believe that with faith and will to win, the World Cup debutants might surprise the world and go through to the next stage.
Nevertheless, even if that does not happen, the Southern African nation has already brought dignity to the continent, with their two brilliant exhibitions.
Angola, collecting one point with a 0-1-1 record, currently stand third with one goal conceded. Mexico rank second on four points with three goals scored and one lost.
