World Cup cash for Angola

BBC - Angola's Banco Internacional de Credito (BIC) has promised to give $5,000 to every national team player who scores at the World Cup.
BIC president Fernando Teles said they would also give $5,000 to the best player in each of their Group D matches against Portugal, Mexico and Iran.

The Palancas Negras, as the Angolans national team is known, left on Friday for Germany, where they will be making their debut at football's most prestigious event.

Tens of thousands of fans brought the streets of Luanda to a standstill on Thursday, as the players went on a farewell parade through the capital.

The 23-man squad subsequently had a gala dinner with over 2,000 people at the new Coqueiros stadium.

Other incentives BIC is offering to the Angolan squad include $50,000 for every win plus a further $50,000 if Angola get beyond the group stages.

Angola face former colonial power Portugal in their opening group game on June 11 in Cologne.
