Before Portugal set sail for South Africa 2010, coach Carlos Queiroz dubbed his side Os Navegadores (The Explorers). It was a nickname given in honour of the nation’s famous wayfarers, men such as Bartolomeu Dias and Vasco da Gama, who respectively reached and then rounded the Cape of Good Hope back in the late 15th century.
Returning to the southern tip of Africa for their meeting with Korea DPR in Cape Town on Monday, Portugal’s modern-day pathfinders made some history of their own in racking up a 7-0 win, the biggest in their FIFA World Cup™ history.
