Well, with the defeat of Portugal yesterday, i was thinking about our future, because the players that we have are getting too old for this competitions so a search of new good players is approaching.
So this topic is for the discussion of the future of some NT's, the young players that they have, the new great NT's that are growing up or the NT's that are decreasing of quality.
Portugal example:
Our goalkeepers are "young" so no problem there.
Euro 2012:
Bruno Alves: 31
Paulo Ferreira: 33
Duda: 32
Ricardo Carvalho: 34
Miguel: 32
Ricardo Costa: 31
Pedro Mendes: 33
Tiago: 31
Deco: 35
Liedson: 35
Simao: 33
This are the ones that were in this WC 2010, so in about 2 years they will have that age, in Brasil 2014 its somewhat impossible for them and other ones to be part of the squad.
Looking for our current portuguese youngsters that are a few with quality but still not so famous:
Rui Patricio (22) - Sporting - GK
Joao Moutinho (23) - Sporting - MF
Carriço (20) - Sporting - DF
Miguel Vitor (20) - Benfica - DF
Ukra (22)
Castro (22)
Rabiola (20)
Candeias (22)___________________All from Porto
Yazalde (21) - Braga - FW
Adrien Silva (21) - Sporting - MF
....

etc
In the present they're not so famous but without a doubt great players who can take a major rule in the future.
