Chelsea midfielder Deco says it won't be betrayal if he scores for Portugal against Brazil.

The two countries will meet in Durban on June 25 in the last Group G match of the tournament which runs from June 11 to July 11.

Deco said: "It will be a special game because I am Brazilian, a totally different game from all the others. I chose to play for Portugal and I will defend that shirt until the end. When I made the decision I knew these matches could happen.

"If I score, no Brazilian can see that as a betrayal against the country in which I was born."
