Now lets hope you are drawn in the same group as Germany (H)

Haha (Y)! yeaaahh, i'm pretty sure they are waiting to revenge!

Now lets hope you are drawn in the same group as Germany (H)

what a moron :rofl:do you actually think you got any chance against Portugal ? you better prey that u don't get drawn in the same group as them because they will kick the living shyt out of you

Now lets hope you are drawn in the same group as Germany (H)

England would be more interesting.

what a moron :rofl:do you actually think you got any chance against Portugal ? you better prey that u don't get drawn in the same group as them because they will kick the living shyt out of you

True. :biggrinx:

Brazil B (Y)

WoW

Of all the 26 letters in the alphabet we are B?? Thank godness! Then we are one of the best teams in the World!

actually its a pretty steep drop off when in regards to a Brazil B made up of Pepe, Deco, Liedson and maybe Paulo Assuncao

smh you are what we call or left over tray, anyone not good enough or left over. out you go to Portugal and some other european country stuggling to find play makers of their own nationality.

feliz natal :biggrinx:

Pepe is better than your CBs.
Deco in his prime(Barcelona), would have definitely had a starting eleven spot in the Brazilian squad, next to Ronaldinho(his Barça colleague).
Liedson would have been a great choice before the world found out Fabiano was awesome(Confed Cup)...

is that some sort of sick joke.

by the time deco was in his prime Kaka was found.

Pepe is not better then Lucio or Juan.

and Fabiano was been shown to the world if you had a decent stream or portuguese television.

his 2 goals in his debut game against Uruguay was his coming out party.

its inevitable our "motherland" fails in comparison to its "son". noone can take a 6-2 beating in Brasilia as quite as you guys :)

like Dunga said. in the world cup it will be Brazil A vs. Brazil B.

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nJsxYocPDe8/ScGfDAmjnaI/AAAAAAAAAII/ufmvFNQcaRA/s320/RalphWiggum2.gif


Even when Kaka was found, Deco had a spot on Brasil's squad.

Lucio and Juan > Pepe? lol

Deco and Kaká are completely diferent players.

dude Deco would not fit as well as Kaka does in an AML position on the team.

but again I am seriously looking forward to the Brazil A x Brazil B game.

what a moron :rofl:do you actually think you got any chance against Portugal ? you better prey that u don't get drawn in the same group as them because they will kick the living shyt out of you

Not an English major i bet. Google Germany - Portugal past scores before you open you sh!t hole newbie. :D

I was joking xD. But it was a good result ( Kahn gave us a goal... )

We had Ricardo in that 2 games, so this time would be different. No shi**y goalkepper this time.

How old are you again? 12?

I think the question should be "Who are you again?"

Dudes let him be, I like his sig (H)

Just messin' with you Adolf .. no need to get emotional .

DF:

- Miguel [Valência]
- Paulo Ferreira [Chelsea]
- Ricardo Carvalho [Chelsea]
- Bruno Alves [FC Porto]
- Rolando [FC Porto]

- Zé Castro [Deportivo Coruna]
- Duda [Malaga]
- Fábio Coentrão [SL Benfica]

FW:

- Danny [Zenit]
- Liedson [Sporting CP]
- Hugo Almeida [W. Bremen]
- Cristiano Ronaldo [Real Madrid]
- Nani [Manchester United]

Haha, foi o Queiroz ou o Ricardo Araújo Pereira a fazer a convocatória? É que Zé Castro/Ricardo Costa tem mais piada que alguns sketches dos Gato Fedorento. (H)

1 deles em principio sai.

Which is one of the reasons why this is hilarious!

Quite amusing indeed, I kind of understand taking the extra CBs (although one would be enough) because of Pepe's condition but did he really have to pick those two? 8|
Both Carriço and Tonel would've been more serious options but maybe that's just me...

Then we have Daniel ******* Fernandes being called up again. Seriously, he must be CQ's butt buddy since it's the only plausible explanation for it.
FFS, dude currently plays for Iraklis which aren't even considered a good team in Greece and had been a sub for Bochüm in the last few seasons. I know one's value shouldn't be judged according to the team they play for but give me a break...he hasn't even been good at any of them from what I've seen/read.
Quim deserved the call-up ahead of him. At least he can claim for himself that he's been a starter for Benfica...even if he's no more than average.

Mendes and Veloso ahead of Moutinho...harsh, but acceptable since João wasn't very consistent this season.

And, it must be frustrating for the likes of Assis and Makukula not being called-up, but there isn't room for everyone.


Let's see if we can get past the group stage tbh...our squad lacks depth and quality, but truth is miracles can't be made...also, there aren't many other good options out there :(

Só digo isto, estamos fora na fase de grupos, o homem só quer é fazer comédia.

Zé Casto, Ricardo Costa, Daniel Fernandes?

Onde está o Amorim, Moutinho, Patricio, Quim, Carrico?

Tantos defesas centrais parece que vamos jogar a defesa

Para mim era o Quim no lugar do Daniel. Mas até pensei que fosse o Patricio por causa daquela base de ter um jovem nestas competições etc...

Para mim Amorim e Carriço (merecia mais que Ricardo ou Zé)

Com estes jogadores e se tudo correr como se espera, talvez:



Eduardo [Embora preferisse o Beto]

Miguel
R. Carvalho
Bruno Alves
Duda [Embora preferisse o Coentrão]

Pepe
Tiago
Deco

Ronaldo
Nani
Liedson

Considering that every player reaches the WC fit, my starters would be:

Eduardo
Ferreira
Carvalho
Alves
Duda
Pepe
Meireles
Deco
Nani
Ronaldo
Levezinho

Beto and Coentrão would also be reliable options to start at the GK and LB spots repectively but I guess NT experience will be an important factor in the big stage and Eduardo and Duda have that advantadge on their side...

Queer Arse's list is a joke.

"fat" Veloso? Pedro Mendes? Where the hell are Amorim and Carlos Martins? (best season the dude ever had)

I'd even call Carriço ahead of Rolando and Rui Patricio/Quim of Daniel Fernandes, honestely I think it'd be much more deserved.

We're not gonna go far in the Cup but that's old news for those who watched our qualifying round...


Forgot to add, but you guys already said it, Ricardo Costa and Zé Castro?? ...

The worst one is really Ricardo Costa, simply funny, a guy that is on Lille, and we have plenty CB's better than him like Carriço or Fernando Meira

1 - Eduardo
2 - Bruno Alves
3 - Paulo Ferreira
4 - Rolando
5 - Duda
6 - Ricardo Carvalho
7 - Cristiano Ronaldo
8 - Pedro Mendes
9 - Liedson
10 - Danny
11 - Simão
12 - Beto
13 - Miguel
14 - Miguel Veloso
15 - Pepe
16 - Raul Meireles
17 - Nani
18 - Hugo Almeida
19 - Tiago
20 - Deco
21 - Ricardo Costa
22 - Daniel Fernandes
23 - Fábio Coentrão


no surprises there I guess...

Well, cutting Zé Castro from the 24 isn't a surprise. It's the 24 in itself that surprised me.

Is Deco going to be in the starting line-up?

Also what is up with the tags :|.

Most probably, yes...

1 - Eduardo
2 - Bruno Alves
3 - Paulo Ferreira
4 - Rolando
5 - Duda
6 - Ricardo Carvalho
7 - Cristiano Ronaldo
8 - Pedro Mendes
9 - Liedson
10 - Danny
11 - Simão
12 - Beto
13 - Miguel
14 - Miguel Veloso
15 - Pepe
16 - Raul Meireles
17 - Nani
18 - Hugo Almeida
19 - Tiago
20 - Deco
21 - Ricardo Costa
22 - Daniel Fernandes
23 - Fábio Coentrão


no surprises there I guess...

How many of them got the "bigode" ?

How many of them got the "bigode" ?

Sadly, none :(

Oh wait, I think Ricardo Costa might..

And Bruno Alves, hahaha.

Sadly, none :(

Oh wait, I think Ricardo Costa might..

Shame :(, I joined the group hoping to see this.

http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs502.snc3/26399_105594706132187_100000449753696_147242_50562 12_n.jpg

and this...

http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs478.snc3/26208_1388874963582_1283315764_31192045_7995289_n. jpg

But Bruno Alves might make up for that. (H)

Haha yes that would be classic.

Nani out due to injury, gonna miss the Cup.

Rúben Amorim was called up.

«Na sequência do traumatismo, envolvendo a clavícula esquerda, sofrido pelo jogador Nani e após avaliação diária da evolução da lesão, com a realização de exames complementares, concluímos pela inaptidão competitiva do referido jogador. O dossier médico será presente ao Departamento Médico do Manchester United FC.»

«Em face do transcrito, a Federação Portuguesa de Futebol, tendo em consideração os regulamentos da FIFA em relação ao Campeonato do Mundo África do Sul 2010, vai solicitar a substituição do atleta Nani pelo atleta Rúben Amorim.»

**** that **** :nape:

So I guess it's Coentrão to winger.


Who's up for anything else this June/July?

Well, thoughts on tomorrow's game anyone?


I actually have a good fezada we're going to make it :D But hey, I always get this in these competitions... Just hope Coentrão keeps taking whatever the **** he's on, and hope Ronaldo can shine! (H)

according to my prediction ( until now i guess all the teams that went trough ) we're going to make it.

I'll be able to watch only the last 10 minutes or so...******* **** :willis:

also sense a good game for us tomorrow, we need to keep up the good work in defense and try to be incisive up front...hopefully we'll make it.

Another epic Record cover.

http://www.record.xl.pt/imgs/ca967162-b341-4feb-88dd-fecb0766bf67_738D42D9-134C-4FBE-A85A-DA00E83FDC20_C00C4DE0-150F-44D7-BAE0-4698A61E05EE_img_source_pt_1.jpg

About the game, it really can go either way. I just hope the players don't start the match afraid of suffering a goal and concentrated only in defending. Knowing Queiróz that is a strong possibility :rolleyes:

Feel sorry for Portugal coz the goal was offside, but that cover... haha (H) what a topic.

Still don't beat this one
http://webs.racocatala.cat/rivalpetit/bloc/wp-content/uploads/2006/07/marca8.jpg

Carlos Queiroz - "Temos de correr riscos" !?!?

WTF, he didn't take any risks in that game. I realize you have to be careful about opening up against a team like Spain but still, c'mon..

With Ricardo Costo and Pepe in the line-up we couldnt create a play. Ricardo Costa... wtv dumbass. Pepe destroy game but he isnt like Pedro Mendes that make right after the block a pass to the attack. We were just receiving attacks from Spain. We did well sometimes on Tiago's shoot and Hugo Almeida's efforts.

Spain has better team thats for sure, but i think we could have handle the game at least until extra time.

playing at home against Cyprus we've managed to allow 3 goals so far...what a joke.

at least we're looking good going forward..

Hahahahahahahahahhaahhahahahahaha

make that 4 8|

our NT has been a ******* disgrace for quite some time now, not that it surprises me one bit considering the circus installed around it.

This NT leaves and bleeds CR7. If he is not there you are guys are a sub-par team.

Kinda fake.

The problem is Queiroz and his behavior.

Deisler that couldn't be farther from the truth.
we've created a sh'tload of chances to score, played beautifully in attack but our defensive system was a mess.
CR usually ****s up half of our plays due to his selfishness...

This NT leaves and bleeds CR7. If he is not there you are guys are a sub-par team.

Hahaha I'm glad you watched the WC...

Yeah, that couldn't be more wrong...

Your defense suck badly. 3 out of the 4 goals were due to defense sluggishness.

Which is weird, becuase your defense was good at the WC.

This problem with Queiroz is destroying our NT.

Portulol

:dance:

:facepalm::willis:

Manuel Fernandes and Raúl Meireles shouldn't have been anywhere near a pitch this past week. FFS.

on the same note but for other reasons, neither should Eduardo. I mean WHAT THE **** WAS THAT ****:confused:

Yeah that was crap, but it's much more than that. Sílvio had a decent game btw...

Eduardo gave up the winning goals in BOTH games, that's why mentioned him, but yeah things go much deeper than what happens on the field.

IMHO what's needed is have all the retards in the FPF brushed away in order to allow a fresh start to the whole organism, putting people in charge that actually give a **** and know wtf they are doing.

Then, maybe then, I can start thinking about supporting our NT with my full heart.

Only watched the 2nd half, and we played like ****

Eduardo already in the other game screwed up, but i agree the problems go much deeper, if we change everything i will support the NT, but like this, that's not the Portugal NT that i know

That's not really a problem for me, I'll cheer for the NT no matter what, what can I do it's my goddamned country.

Football-wise, how can Moutinho stay in the bench? I mean Meireles, Tiago and Fernandes have probably done like 10 minutes this season when you put'em all together. First substitution at 70'? What the ****? And for Danny, who I don't think too much of. I was almost afraid he was going to take out Almeida(one of if not the best player yesterday).

Look, bottom line is a draw would have been much fairer, Norway didn't do all that much and their goal was given to them. But we're not going to score if we keep on playing like we have no damn clue what we're supposed to be doing. I hope Ronaldo can step up (as a winger!), and with Moutinho getting a good season and Pepe and Bosingwa hopefully recovering, we are going to pull through.


Now, this talk of Paulo Bento? How the who when where what the?

Im afraid about Paulo Bento. I kinda like him, but his Sporting fame can destroy the NT at the minimum mistake.

Reunião de Direcção

Quinta-Feira , 09 Setembro 2010

No dia 14 de Julho de 2010, a Direcção da Federação Portuguesa de Futebol comunicou que a Selecção Nacional cumpriu dois dos objectivos subjacentes à campanha do Mundial 2010. Não dizemos nem dissemos que cumpriu os objectivos. Cumpriu dois dos objectivos.

Esses dois objectivos foram:
Por um lado, a qualificação para a fase final da prova (a sexta presença consecutiva nas grandes competições internacionais) e, por outro, o apuramento para a fase a eliminar.

Dissemos no dia 14 de Julho e voltamos a afirmar que o resultado fica aquém do que todos ambicionavam mas que foram cumpridos os objectivos mínimos.

QUANTO AO SELECCIONADOR NACIONAL

Face aos últimos acontecimentos, após a análise da actual situação relativa ao Seleccionador Nacional, a Direcção da FPF deliberou, por unanimidade:

1 - Resolver o contrato de prestação de serviços celebrado com o Seleccionador Nacional, Carlos Queiroz, com efeitos imediatos. Esta decisão já foi comunicada a Carlos Queiroz, a quem serão entregues, em primeira mão, os respectivos fundamentos;

2 - Iniciar, de imediato, contactos e conversações com vista à contratação de um técnico que assuma as funções de Seleccionador Nacional a tempo de preparar e orientar a equipa já nos próximos jogos de qualificação para o EURO 2012;

Mais deliberou solicitar ao Sr. Presidente da Assembleia Geral da FPF a marcação de uma Assembleia Geral eleitoral para os órgãos sociais.

Esta posição não consubstancia uma demissão nem uma renúncia ao mandato pelo que está assegurada a estabilidade directiva até à realização das eleições.

É importante referir que a Direcção mantém-se com plenos poderes e continuará a trabalhar como até aqui, tendo total autoridade para exercer as respectivas funções estatutárias.

Well.

Who's gonna be? Please, someone with confirmed talent!

I would prefer a Portuguese, though... Some heavy talks of Bento... Who could it be, though?

To me it has to be Portuguese.

Paulo Bento its to risky, it would be another Queiroz.

Scolari again? Manuel Jose?

http://www.boxofficefootball.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/text-raymond-domenech.jpg

This guy.

With him. European Champions 2012. xD

Is Humberto Coelho too old for it?

Mourinho? :(


Me? (H)




Paulo Bento though, the man should have a real sense of Selecção, and he tends to be a supporter of young talent. Only time ill tell, though.

FFT's Portugeezer says you need Bento. what is wrong with Bento though? He can't be worse than Coelho.

I've comented in their Facebook page saying we could give a whole set of other reasons not to pick Bento...

Yeah I reckon he's not worse than Coelho, only time will tell...



You have to realize though, FFT's Portugeezer isn't very good.

http://www.boxofficefootball.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/text-raymond-domenech.jpg

This guy.

If it was that guy, i would probably kill myself

Bento i also say the same, it's risky but honestly portuguese coach i don't see much more available

Is anyone still talking about Aragones? I hope it's not Paul bento, personally. Not sure he has the pedigree to coach the NT right now.

Otto Rehagel is available i hear.


Just kiddin (H)

That was just Low man, real Low.

tbh I am kind of clueless concerning who I'd like to see as our new coach.
from the names being rumoured I think it'd make sense giving another chance to Humberto since he actually did a solid job in the 2000 campaign.


I know I'd like to see someone like Figo at the helm of the FPF though, just not too sure if he'd go for it .

Humberto has been crap in his latest endeavours though, maybe he's a bit out of touch. Aye, definitely Figo would be great. Maybe if he brought Paulo Sousa? And Baía? Maybe even João ******* Pinto! Hell, I'd definitely like to see that whole generation at the front of Portuguese football.

why not...Sousa is kind of ******* up with Leicester anyway, Baía left the Porto board in the Summer and I'm pretty sure JVP would trade his sh'tty job on TV for a spot in the FPF board in a blink of an eye...his past antics in the NT would probably be an obstacle to the move though:

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7dEiFbgLkgA/TCvl3r6-wEI/AAAAAAAABbo/Jp1Md1Nod5E/s1600/pinto.jpg

(H)

**** that, that asshole deserved that punch! (H) I say bring them all, with a decent plan to revitalize Portuguese football from the ground up, namely youth-NT squads and preparation for the main team, and I'm all for it!

Maradona quer treinar a Selecção de Portugal


Diego Armando Maradona encara com entusiasmo a possibilidade de suceder a Carlos Queiroz no cargo de seleccionador de Portugal. Uma informação apurada pelo nosso jornal e confirmada pelo braço-direito de El Pibe, o também ex-jogador Alejandro Mancuso, que integrou como adjunto a comissão técnica liderada por Maradona na selecção argentina entre 2008 e 2010.

«É verdade. Eu e o Diego já falámos sobre isso, é um projecto que nos agradaria bastante. Ele tem vontade e disponibilidade total, mas até ao momento não fomos contactados», vincou.

Depois de abandonar a albiceleste, Maradona já recebeu vários convites de clubes e federações, mas até ao momento não terá surgido um projecto verdadeiramente tentador.

Mancuso reconhece que o seu chefe de equipa gostaria de continuar a trabalhar em selecções e garante que daria «prioridade a Portugal», no caso de haver interesse da Federação Portuguesa de Futebol. «Maradona tem portas abertas em todo o mundo, mas este é um projecto no qual se revê.» O homem de confiança de Diego considera, por isso, que «o dinheiro não seria problema».
LMAO :facepalm:

Maradona LOL


I would like the idea of someone like Humberto in front of the NT and as assistant coach people like Figo, Paulo Sousa, or other glorious portuguese players.

Why not Jurgen Klinsmann? He would be perfect fit in your type of play.

F*ck me, Madaíl's gone running to Mourinho. I hope he rejects it.

I don't get it, why is Madaíl still taking any kind of decisions for our NT since he's about to (finally) **** off?
Before the coach is chosen there should be a definition about who are the people that are gonna run the FPF, makes sense to me...what a mess :nape:

Mourinho kindly pushed the final decision for Real already knowing that they are going to reject this "proposal"....in the end they're just not being stupid.

He shouldn't come. I hope he doesn't. Just let him win whatever he wants to win with Real with peace of mind. Like Figo said, "if I want any problems I'll return to Portugal. If I want to not live quietly and calmly with my family I'll return to Portugal.". F*ck us.

imagine if he came and managed to win none of the games (not hard to happen considering our current NT is crap), the Mourinho myth would suffer a huge blow...why would he even want to risk that happening.

Why not Jurgen Klinsmann? He would be perfect fit in your type of play.

I agree. our style of play would suit a striker of his quality lol He can still play right?



In all seriousness why not?

Now imagine if he came and won both games, playing stupendously and ripping opposition. (H) hahaha

Paulo I don't want a foreign coach, we need someone with genuine passion for the country and a comprehensive knowledge of portuguese football and portuguese players...don't ask me who that'd be though, I'm honestly clueless atm :(

Fili, that would be mouth-watering but absolutely frustrating at the same time since we already knew Mourinho is only going to establish himself in the NT when he's already wearing senior diapers.

I know, but it'd be hilarious. We'd call him for the EURO2012 final and stuff, second-halves of games we were 2-0 down at half time hahaha what a joke this all is.

I wouldn't risk my "mystique" either if I was Mourinho, the current situation is someone else's mess and should stay that way. I say they just give it to someone like Carlos Carvalhal or Oceano at this point and hope for the best for this qualification (which seems lost already :nape: ). Fix the FPF first and concentrate on a strong push for WC2014

Oceano hahahahahahaha (H)

shinji, Oceano already showed what he can (not) do by failling miserably with the latest U-21 campaign...I see your point though.

Murtosa won a game with NT alone.

N8BWX1FSjKY

shinji, Oceano already showed what he can (not) do by failling miserably with the latest U-21 campaign...I see your point though.

yeah I know, but I'm just saying that at this point of the mess, it probably doesn't matter too much who takes over.. at least let it be someone who's familiar with Portuguese football.

That's the thing, Oceano isn't familiarized with... well, football. Period.

http://www.record.xl.pt/storage/ng1031337.jpg?type=big

Paulo Bento, our new NT manager. Liked his speech, lets see what he can do. I remember him saying that he dislikes the fact that we have "brazilians" on our squad. Lets see if he have the guts to take out Pepe or Liedson.

I dislike it too. And let's be serious, what has Liedson done this season or even the season before to even be considered for selection? Why shouldn't we give some opportunities to young Portuguese players?

About Paulo Bento, have to say wasn't a big fan of him but after attending a class regarding leadership and team management and development where he was asked to participate last year, I was impressed. He's really really good technically.

The only concern I can think of is if a similar situation to when he was at Sporting happens, where he isn't backed up by just about anyone and then the whole environment in the FPF starts (restarts) to affect the lockeroom.


edit: Miguel is now retired from the NT. Good riddance.

Everyone's retiring from NT.

Red Hot NANI!

Here we go! (H)

f*ck yeah!

You finally got rid of Querioz and now it's time for Portugal to develop. Good luck with the qualifying.

I'm not a great fan of CR9... but that 'outside elastico' was delicious.

As for Bosingwa, his stretch at the 17th min to recover the ball only confirms that he's indeed a great athlete. Even off-form and playing out of position he manages to do well.

we are putting on quite the show...I don't remember us playing this well against this kind of opposition in a loooong time.

Fabregas is a little butthurt.


Good football by us.

DAYUM...4-0!!

future finally looks bright for our NT (H)

This time we have a real manager...

Oooooooooooooooooh. (H)

This time we have a real manager...

Amen to that!

But I have to say this: Moutinho is indeed filling Deco's shoes and even more. He's playing like a real Box-to-Box for Portugal and at the end of the day is the player who has impressed me the most.

Moutinho >>>>> Deco. (H).

Vê-se que é criado no Porto. (H)

I was skeptical of Paulo Bento at first, but wow, was I ever wrong. Great work so far, completely different team and attitude from Queiroz's NT. Too bad we had such a bad start in qualification, but I think we can still make it playing like this.

Deco went to Brasil, and so we'll never hear about him again...

Moutinho, always on the bench with other managers, now playing as regular and doing a great job. Im liking Carlos Martins too... To say the truth im loving the Meireles, Moutinho and Martins trio.. 3M's

Tiago is now retired from the NT. He's 29, I believe he could still be useful..

Miguel Veloso isn't doing so well at Genova and Manuel Fernandes is yet to return to his best.. Micael is usually benched at Porto and lacking some fitness and game rhythm.

Just put Moutinho covering all three positions.

How come nobody talked about the U-20 on the forums?


COME ON SONS!

to be honest I thought our performances throughout the tournament were pretty much dull, most players are no more than average.
we have been very solid defensively and had luck at our side in the right moments.
this, however, has been our best display so far and it surely came at the right time (H)

now it's 2-2, though :(

How frustrating was that? God daaamn, come on lads!

Really sad right now... watched the game and damn... that 3rd goal was just... bah **** this ****

To bad we didnt won, didnt wanted the match because of the hours, wanted to watch but felt asleep.
Anyway for what i saw in videos it looked like our best game but we didnt had any luck this time.

O defesa central Ricardo Carvalho renunciou esta quarta-feira à selecção portuguesa de futebol, afirmando ter-se sentido «desrespeitado e ferido» na sua dignidade.

«Sinto-me em plena forma física e também mental, como o tem demonstrado a minha prestação no meu clube e na selecção. Se me fazem sentir a mais e não mo dizem, a única possibilidade é a saída», disse o defesa do Real Madrid, em comunicado enviado à Agência Lusa.

O jogador abandonou esta quarta-feira o estágio da selecção lusa, em Óbidos, sem apresentar justificação, e já não viajou para o Chipre, onde Portugal disputa na sexta-feira um jogo do Grupo H de qualificação para o Euro2012.

can't wait to know WTF has actually happened there, although being already 35 Ricardo was still our best CB.

Definitely, the guy is still class.. One of my favorite players.

I heard Paulo Bento was going to relegate him to the bench.. Not sure if this is true.

Yeah apparently he understood by the way the training was going, that he wasn't going to be a starter. Apparently they exchanged a few words and he got upset and left.

if that's true, it's really disappointing...didn't see him having such childish behaviour.

He is being so childish, if he isnt in the lineup he has to accept it, a football player has to accept being on the bench, if the other players would do the same i wouldnt know what would happen to the teams

Surely the more important game would be against Denmark in October? Couldn't he wait another month?

Surely the more important game would be against Denmark in October? Couldn't he wait another month?
He leaved the NT because he wasnt at the lineup yesterday and he wanted to

This thread tags :(

Can't remember the argument you had with Massive, but I remember that you totally deserve those tags.

yes, and none of those tags is mine so they are the unmistakable proof of how much of a **** you were kp.

Actually, I just checked to see what happened, and it was buti who said that Albania threw a match against Portugal, Massive and I said that was retarded, and kp (who had nothing to do with the argument) told us to 69 each other and it sort of snowballed.

EDIT: None are mine either.

ok :), now I remember, lool 69 :)), how was it ;)?

I don't want to defend my arrogance at that time but we take everything very hard on newcomers ... Most of us have +4,000 posts here. I think we all should be a little more kind and patient toward newcomers ... if not these forums will just be about us ...

I was stupid when I first joined, too; I still didn't tell people who I disagreed with (AND were right) to 69 each other. We'll be kind to whoever isn't a douchebag.

unfortunately, I was a big bully few years back even in real life ... I think we all make mistakes ... I'm happy it's all behind us now and we squashed it ...(Y)

Yeah, it's a great art to have the ability to listen (read) others ideas and reply in a good manner. We communicate with each other over these forums but we somehow formed a family. I really like this forum more than anything in World Wide Web.:-)

Treating newbs the way we do is how we both filter out the idiots (although some still make it through) and improve the ones that come in. We were all idiots at first, and most of us have learned from it.

EDIT: I'm ignoring your sentimentalism because there's too much wrong with it.

Play-offs again :facepalm: this is getting ******* embarrassing.

Bad bad result.we miss pepe and carvalho

lol "we"?

Now glory hunters attack the national teams as well? Although, to be fair if you seek immediate glory my advice for you is to support the Spanish or German NT.


Anyway, some notes.

-Eliseu is not a left back. Though I believe beside Coentrão, Silvio was injured too.
-Pepe and Carvalho are sorely missed. As much as Porto fans rate Rolando highly, he cannot be considered a serious replacement. Especially when they are both out.
-João Pereira is not better than Bosingwa.
-I use to give Postiga the benefit of the doubt, but he really sucks. He isn't good enough for Sporting but is good enough for Portugal?!

Eliseu is good as LB at Málaga.

Martins is terrible, as well. Pereira, Martins and Postiga on the same XI and we want to win a game. Please.

man why are you guys saying that i am a gloryhunter.i am just a fan of portugal nt,real madrid and manchester united.i am just here to have fun

You're a fan of the Portuguese NT? Now that's a first. I'm not even sure Deco is a fan.

Martins is terrible, as well. Pereira, Martins and Postiga on the same XI and we want to win a game. Please.

I forgot about Carlos. Yeah, I suppose you can say the same as with Postiga, isn't good enough for Benfica but is considered good enough for Portugal? Though, in his defense he's been having some personal problems since the beginning of the season, but that's just another reason not to call him up.

Anyhow, we got Bosnia in the playoff. They are certainly a good team, but come on we really should be able to beat them..

Yes we beat them last time, but we're only having a harder game this time around, got to stay focused. I guess if Bento mans up and calls Bosingwa, and with Coentrão and Danny fit, we might go through.

yeah i am a portugal fan.but i am really hurt by the way i am said as a gloryhunter

1. You're from India.

2. You're a fan of Portugal.

3. ???

4. Profit

Mate i support portugal as india is very bad at football

I understand. There are national teams that I prefer more for personal reasons too, other than Finland. But referring to another countries national team as 'we' is a bit much.

Ok.thanks for helping me mate.i am just learning how to be a good member in this forum

Actually, there are some places in India that were colonized ages ago by Portugal, the most well-known being Goa.

That's true, some friends of mine have direct relatives who are from Portuguese families and were actually born in India, then moved to Mozambique and finally to Portugal. This isn't that uncommon here, and I believe you can still find people in Goa who still speak some Portuguese.

I don't think that's the case of our friend here. That said, everyone is free to support whatever club or national side they wish, it just seemed a bit odd the way he sounded..

If i sounded odd then i am sorry
