i agree with everything that Filipower said except for veloso
he's a fantastic player but i think he's in a superstar phase. he was very "complicativo" and lost a lot of unnecessary balls. he needs to get his feet on the ground
the best players of this team are clearly da costa (when we sell luisão i hope we buy him), veloso, fernandes and vierinha (i'm very glad that tarik is in porto squad instead of him)
antunes is just a regular player. i think he'll never be as good as so many think he will. he's not bad but he's not a great player also. it's better to play with a good right-back in the left than with an average left-back

M.Veloso in super form doesn't lose balls. That's it. Why do you think he was subbed against Belenenses? He is not on his best form.

Best player = Vierinha , great talent, and once again, another winger. We have to build a new NT only for wingers.

Antunes? Did ok. He is a normal left-back, but he has a cannonball that sometimes gets handy.

 

[RuiCosta_10]

How did Antunes went to Roma is beyond me, is Jorge Mendes his "empresário"?

 

[Moreira_Benfica]

Ronaldo, Quaresma, Nani, Vieriniha, Coentrao (if he improves).... damn so many wingers for the future, and there all under 24 i think, now if we could develop a great striker and LB we could be set

 

[Johnny_Big]

Coentrão? Only if we want to grow better on our "diving" situation against other national teams.

What I'm saying it that Coentrão needs LOADS of improvement.

 

[Moreira_Benfica]

thats what i said.....

 

[Capela]

i think coentrao could be a good left-back, he's fast, not very good at attacking and can learn to defend
but benfica's got miguelito who's a good left back

 

[Moreira_Benfica]

i dont know, he seems soft to be a defender

 

[Capela]

he seems so soft to a football player...

 

[Filipower]

he's to soft to be straight.

 

[Filipower]

puta que pariu esta merda parece que só jogamos à bola nos torneios e esquecemo-nos que para chegar lá é preciso ganhar jogos.

 

[Johnny_Big]

Portugal mereceu ganhar. Mas claro, temos aquele GR maravilhoso que só sabe defender penaltis.

Para mim basta, perdemos um EURO e o Sporting perdeu um campeonato nacional à custa dele.

QUIM NA BALIZA. MAS JÁ!

 

[Filipower]

mereceu ganhar mas não ganhou...azar ou não, puta. que. pariu,

 

[Johnny_Big]

Azar ou não, tchau Euro 2008!

 

[Filipower]

don't overreact, come on we're still going to make it..

 

[Paulo Da Silva]

theres still five games to go...

Helder Barbosa is way better than Coentrao lol

seriously we need a leftback and striker ASAP

 

[Johnny_Big]

No. We are out surely. We will grab a playoff spot and get Spain. We are lucky people you know.

 

[SCP19O6]

No. We are out surely. We will grab a playoff spot and get Spain. We are lucky people you know.

What playoff?! No playoff this time, all teams in 2nd place qualify directly!

 

[Filipower]

you're sure the second spot doesn't give us automatic qualification?

either way, be confident man, less than a year from now you'll be saying "fodass, este ricardo defende sempre os penaltis contra a inglaterra"

 

[Paulo Da Silva]

16 teams qualify
Austria and Switzerland qulaified means 14 teams left.
7 groups, top 2 teams qualify automatically equaling the last 14 teams. RIGHT??
