The Portuguese NT Thread

[treble41]

I'd really like to see Quaresma start. MIght not be the most experienced and he needs to learn that you can't just go around people at the international level but the Portuguese attack needs help. So will it be two strikers, one, or none?

i'm guessing the back four will be:

Miguel-Carvalho-Pepe-Boswinga?

Or will it be Ferreira instead of Boswinga?

Considering Bosingwa and Miguel have absolutely no left foot at all none will play left back, ferreira will. SInce Bosingwa i in better form than Miguel he will start on teh right

Topic discussion sugestion:

- Convocatoria (Maniche out, can Moutinho pull it off? Is Deco in good form? Quaresma, Nani or Simao?
Don't care

- Chances this year. Title contenders?
Nope

- RONALDO
Gonna flop

if he asked about Yebda I'm sure you'd reply with a twelve paragraph post...give me a break man.





and yes treble41, it's probably going to be Bosingwa, Pepe, Carvalho, Ferreira...also, Quaresma should be used as a good substitute, not a starter..

 

[Johnny_Big]

Simao should and will be a starter. Even though Quaresma is a better player in dribbling, Simao is better at the rest, including DEFENDING, which is something that isn't in Quaresma's dictionary. Yet.

And Simao also does good set pieces (yeah, penalties for him )

rodriguez is gone
he's an excellent player but he wanted money that we couldn't give and now he'll probably head for porto. but i think rui costa made a good decision, rodriguez didn't show any intention of staying unless unless we paid him money that he probably doesn't deserve
i'm not a hipocrit so i won't wish him any luck if he goes to porto but if i were a porto supporter i'd be very happy with this signing

 

[Filipower]

Also, wrong thread

 

[Capela]

lol, you're right
sorry, my bad

Today, Portugal plays against Faroe Islands, i know they arent a top team, but is the debut of Carlos Queiroz as Portugal coach and he just made a major substitution in the goalkeepers... Ricardo and Rui Patricio out, Eduardo (from Braga) and Daniel Fernandes (from Bochum) in. So Quim might be number 1.

 

[Coruja]

PORTUGAL
Quim; Bosingwa, Pepe, Ricardo Carvalho and Antunes; Raul Meireles, Deco and Carlos Martins; Nani, Hugo Almeida and Simão Sabrosa.

 

[Filipower]

Patricio is only out because the U-21 needs him... Ricardo is out because he doesn't know how to grab a ball since 2004.

 

[Coruja]

5-0 for Portugal, Danny made a good debut, some new moviments, we dominated the match, it was a foreseeable result against Faroe Islands.

I would like to see more of Pedro Mendes (I remember him in Porto and Guimaraes) and Danny.

 

[Moreira_Benfica]

so whats the changes Danny has, i havent really seen or heard him but now i see that his new team paid alot for him and they rate him as the best playwer in russia and i watched him today against manchester and heplayed great and had a great goal but what does he play? like an attacking midfield player?

 

[Coruja]

I didnt see his games, so i want to see more of him to judge him better.

Portugal 2 -Denmark 3 FT

Easily one of the best performances by Portugal in a long time, and once again easily one of the most unfair matches I've seen. Just to say: "Morram dinamarqueses".

And Deco has place next to god.

 

[Moreira_Benfica]

wow i was just saying in my head this is one of the best games ive seen us play then boom goal then im thinkin here we go a tie we get a penaly and im thinkin we have this then 2 goals wtf!! and to make it worse i had a proline ticket (dont no if you guys no what that is in europe) and this game was the only one that i picked wrong!!

and Deco is really on top form playing amazing

 

[Filipower]

Three words sum up the game,


I guess you know what they are.

 

[Coruja]

I think that Ricardo left a curse behind in high balls.

 

[Filipower]

The fact that Albania didn't beat us should be a shame for them.

 

[Johnny_Big]

I'm so sick of seeing some prima-donna players there. Quaresma doesn't even deserve a chance to be in the subs. Nani isn't in good shape and failed a clear goal. Danny only plays good in Russia, M.Fernandes besides a good first half only did crap on the second. Ronaldo needs to stop grabing so much to the ball, even though he showed a lot of attitude.

The rest was quite ok. Pepe and Bruno Alves, bow to you guys.

And where do we stay? For me the fault isn't from Carlos Queiroz. Portugal did everything and was quite unlucky (that ball in the post from H.Almeida put me destroying the place where i was ). But Carlos Queiroz needs to take some players out of the there. Beginning with Quaresma, stupid prima-donna.

And don't come saying that Albania played well and deserved a draw. They came to defend 90 minutes. That's not even football. I hope you get disgraced in your country, truly.
