Very weak forward line as has been the case with Portugal in the last few major championships.

The man who got relegated with Sheff. United in May and scored in the Champions League for Fenerbahce in October.

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

Yup him, he was playing for Bury in recent years I believe. Hes not that good really, but scored against Chelsea. :laugh: Also speaking of Fenerbache wtf at them not winning the league this season.

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

Indeed they lack a RVN type of player. Surprised they didnt pick Makakula. He scored for them in the qualifiers.

 

[Sebastian]

Portugal with only 3 strikers? lol

I cant see them doing well in the tournament, even though they have Ronaldo.

 

[hizzle?]

Ronaldo will score against the Swiss, the Turks and be absent against the Czechs.

 

[Bachaveli]

As you may have noticed, no Maniche.

I'm afraid to ask why because people will jump on the question again.

Why isn't he in?

 

[Flipmo]

He hasn't been in form. Only 8 appearances after being loaned at Inter-Milan. It's not his season.

Actually, hasn't been in form since his Porto days.

 

[hizzle?]

Wasn't he at Dynamo for a few games? He was good there if that was him.

 

[Flipmo]

Yeah, a while back, then was at loan to Chelsea. That went to the shitter. Athletico Madrid then bought him and loaned him out to InterMilan

 

[2Pax]

England will win, oh wait...

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

England will win, oh wait...

yea we will be watching at home with the likes of San Marino and Azerbeijan
