this question is for anyone to answer but since the portuguese guys know about this a little more you can tell me your opinion. I have been wondering if scolari will be calling some youngsters up to the squad for the euro. I mean euro for the u 21's is aorund the same time isnt it? so i was wondering if players like cristiano ronaldo,quaresma,tiago,postiga,viana and more will get called up. Tell me who out of the young guys you think will go into the portugal squad for euro 2004.

that Postiga is good player, just can't get on the score sheet :confused:

If they are starting for their teams and playing well i think they will, but most of these players arent

depends on their form in the Euro Sub 21 Championship that will be held before the Euro Cup

Postiga, Viana and Ronaldo are.

The youngsters with more changes of getting in EURO 2004 are Cristiano Ronaldo, Ricardo Quaresma and Hugo Viana...Hugo Viana wants to leave Newcastle United next January so he can get more chances of playing and one of the clubs that made some interest is Sporting, Hugo Viana's former club in Portugal!!!

didn't viana get a transfer request denied last season?

Yeah, but this time he wants to leave Newcastle Utd. on loan, not on a definitive plataform

ic. well, it does suck for him not getting any consistent time at newcastle. good luck to him. i've only seen him a few times, but he's shown flashes of brilliance.

I think only Ronaldo and Tiago have realistic chances of playing at Euro2004, as it stands now..

I hope he goes back to Sporting and drives them back to the top,

I think if Ronaldo gets a call- up then so should Quaresma coorect me if im wrong but hes a class player

I'm 100% with shinji. Tiago and Ronaldo will get called, but I also think Moreira will be, as he is clearly the future No. 1 for our country.

I think that if things continue as they are i think only Cristiano Ronaldo and Tiago will get their chance!

Tiago is one of the best miedfieldres i know! What a potential! One of the main pieces, if not the most important of SLBenfica midfield!

Cristiano maybe the the "secret" weapon, a young, fats, tremendous skilled player, who regurlarly plays (only) in ManUnited! Not always a starter, but usually plays as sub too!

Hugo Viana is facing the problem of not playing for his club, he lacks chances on Newcastle where i still believe he's wrongly placed on field! This man plays on the center!!! Can someone tell it to SIR Bobby Robson? (all respect) And having to face some of the powerpieces of the Nt, besides of Tiago competion for a spot... i think we'll get screwd.... a shame! =(

Postiga, same trouble of Viana! Not playing much... not scoring when plays.... it's getting difficult for him! He has to face Nuno Gomes competition, a more experienced player who's staring to get into SLBenfica eleven and promising to score a bunch of goals; because on the other side he gets the massive presence of Pauleta!!!

Quaresma is a talented player... but in my opinions it lacks something.... a bit of aging... experience... cold blood... loose some vanity and pride, and to give himself more to the team!!!

I hope i'm not forgetting any other... but none of the rest U21/20 NT has chances in my opinion!

What about Moreira as the 3rd keeper, or should we keep him for the U21 EURO? I've discussed this a lot on other forums, and I don't know if it'll be better for him to be 3rd gk and perhaps take experience or let him play for the Sub21's.. I donno, but I just want whats best for him because he'll be Portugal's No. 1 in the future.

i think moreira could be the number 1 in the euro U21 and the third keeper at the euro2004. the competitions aren't at the same dates.
about the topic i think ronaldo and tiago will be called by scolari. quaresma has simão and boa morte in front of him. postiga has the competition of nuno gomes but scolari could choose 3 strikers... viana must play to be in Euro Cup but honestly i think scolari will not call him because he will play with 2 defensive midfielders and so he will pick only two attacking midfielders (Deco and Rui Costa).

Moreira future n.º1?

I see Tiago, Ronaldo, Quaresma, and Postiga all earning call-ups. IMO Gomes doesn't cut it for me, I mean he did will against Kuwait but then again even FIGO scored against Kuwait. Also, Moreira is getting overhyped now. This kid ain't THAT damn amazing.

Viana-Don't know it really depends on how Quaresma and Ronaldo are doing at that point as well as Figo. If he gets to a club and shows his SCP talent that he's had then he will get it, but if not it'll be a shame as he'd be the only playing representative of EURO 2004 NOT to get a call-up.

I'd like to see Vieirinha get a call-up when he turns 18 though...:rockman: Don't know when his birthday is but I'm sure he'll be nearing 18 or somewhile past 18 come Euro.

Uff, that almost killed me. Crazy Calve dude! :crazyboy:


Obviously Tiago will be chosen for the Euro2004, probably even as a starter (but with Deco, RC and Costinha... dunno). He's one gifted player, with the Midas touch and the Lion heart!

Cristiano will also be a part of the chosen ones, if not for anything else, simply bcs he plays for ManU.

Postiga: don't think so. If he had stayed in Porto, I'm sure he would get called. Would probably have more goals on his account than Nuno 'Gomes' and his natural progression as an athlete wouldn't be halted like it is now. Quite frankly, with a healthy Pauleta we don't need anyone else.

Quaresma: also don't think it'll happen. Scolari is not very fond of him, especially because of his lack of personality (vain, a bit troublemaker) and selfishness.

Hugo Viana: another player whose progression is frozen bcs he doesn't play regularly. RC, Tiago and Deco are obvious choices. Will see the Euro2004 comfortably on his sofa.

Moreira: could be the n.º 3 keeper. I don't think he's a good player. Now seriously, has nothing to do with him being at Benfica (while I think Calve calls him our 'future' simply bcs he's the eagles n.1), but I don't think he's a naturally talented goalkeeper. He makes too many mistakes, loses his concentration oftenly and is prone to make the wrong choice when it comes to staying or leaving the posts for a cross.
Come on, I'm not a Baía fan myself, as you all know, but being honest is saying the n.º 99 has been the best goalkeeper this season. He sucked on the WC and should never have started ahead of Ricardo, but I'm afraid we're going to make the same mistake, only with switched players.
