we'll concede goals on saturday, no doubt in my mind. Without Carvalho there, it's gonna be an all out assault on Ricardo's net and we all know how that'll turn out..

 

[Paulo Da Silva]

Costinha is suspended, so Petit will play 2morrow

 

[Luis Ah-Hoy]

I haven't seen Meira for a long time... is he a good defender now? How good is he, and what are his weakest and strongest points?!

 

[Parasol]

at least meira now has got a big body and can win lots of balls in the air and can manage a defense pretty good too, but he has never played very good for portugal.

 

[INFESTA]

Ricardo
Andrade
Meira
Alex

Ladies and Gentlemen, The Fantastic 4.

 

[::shinji::]

almost feel sorry for Andrade, he's gonna be alone out there

 

[SCP19O6]

Apparently Jorge Ribeiro can replace Alex, with Caneira moving to the right.

 

[Parasol]

is Ricardo sure on the goal? :s

 

[Luis Ah-Hoy]

is Ricardo sure on the goal? :s

If so... then: :boohoo:

Well, Scholari knows best...

Does he?!

 

[Parasol]

Scolari doesn't even attend the league games, how should he know something? oh wait, he attended one that i remember: Belenenses - Académica, cause it was near his house.

 

[Parasol]

Simão won't play tonight's game neither should Manuel nor Petit...

 

[Parasol]

ohoh... Ricardo will play tonight, so one goal for slovakia is garanteed, i think 3-1 final score.

 

[Vinnie Jones]

I don´t care about the score. I just want Portugal to win. I hope they don´t ruin my saturday night. Show some atitude and win, that´s all i ask. FORÇA PORTUGAL!

 

[::shinji::]

that makeshift defence we'll be playing with though... it's a cause for worry anyways

 

[::shinji::]

Christ! Meira almost cost us a goal already!!

EDIT: Ok, he just made up for it!

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Who got the goal? Meira?

livescore.com isn't showing game updates aside from the score and time of play.

 

[::shinji::]

close to HT, Portugal leading 2-0 (Meira, C. Ronaldo)

 

[bbranco10]

2-0 at half great goal by cristiano ronaldo off a free kick and meira from a corner.

 

[Parasol]

yes.

1-0 Meira on a lucky corner

2-0 Ronaldo on a superb freekick

 

[Vinnie Jones]

We were lucky with that terrible miss by Slovakia when it was 0-0 but i can say that we are completely dominating the match. Im pleased with our performance so far. Our midfield is working well (good partnership btw Petit and Maniche) and our skilled forwards are showing atitude and going for every ball. Im satisfied with Figo´s performance, he´s showing great spirit and motivation but the ones who have been impressing me the most are Deco and Ronaldo (as usual). Final word about Alex, im surprised with how well he has been playing. He´s a little bit nervous but he already made some good runs, his passing has been accurate and his defensive work has been reasonable without positional errors.
Keep up the good work in the second half boys.

P.s Our supporters have been magnificent on the stadium.
