It's just before Angola vs. Portugal at the next World Cup Group game. Deco goes into the Portuguese changing room to find all his team-mates looking a bit glum.
"What's up?" he asks.
"Well, we're having trouble getting motivated for this game. We know it's important but it's only Angola. They're crap and we can't be bothered".
Deco looks at them and says "Well, I reckon I can beat these by myself, you lads go down the pub."
So Deco goes out to play Angola by himself and the rest of the Portugese team go off for a few jars.
After a few pints they wonder how the game is going, so they get the landlord to put the teletext on. A big cheer goes up as the screen reads "Portugal 1 - Angola 0 (Deco 10 minutes)". He is beating Angola all by himself!
Anyway, a few more pints later and the game is forgotten until someone remembers "It must be full time now, let's see how he got on". They put the teletext on.
"Result from the Stadium "Portugal 1 (Deco 10 minutes) - Angola 1 (Akwa 89 minutes)".
They can't believe it, he has single handedly got a draw against Angola!! They rush back to the Stadium to congratulate him. They find him in the dressing room, still in his gear, sat with his head in his hands.
He refuses to look at them. "I've let you down, I've let you down."
"Don't be daft, you got a draw against Angola, all by yourself. And they only scored at the very, very end!"
"No, No, I have, I've let you down...I got sent off after 12 minutes!"
"What's up?" he asks.
