Together with the Portugueses, the Mundialito would not achieve such a great impact without the other classic big contender, current World Champions Brazil, who get to Portimao straight from Rio de Janeiro, where they claimed the cup in the South American Qualifier for the World Cup for the fifth time some days ago.
