ones that let in goals after four minutes probably is one sign.

I guess I shouldn't be too harsh on Angola - the commentator just said their life expectancy is only 39.

No it was a time delay waiting for the carrier pigeon to arrive with the news of the goal.

More Angola news from the commentator - an oil company is going to buy the first Angolan scorer a house worth £100,000, 100 times the average wage.

With Angola - the two previous times they've played Portugal they've been beaten by a combined score of 11-1, and the fact they had four players sent off the last time they met causing the game to be abandoned with half an hour to go.
Also they couldn't get out of their African Cup of Nations group this year (as couldn't Togo, who have got rid of two managers since, including the one that got them to the World Cup, and the latest one who walked out on Friday as his players weren't getting paid by the FA - this type of internal dispute is another key sign they overperformed).

And even if it doesn't, this thread will give you a good laugh to keep the clock moving (in a weird sort of way).
