WC Group D: Portugal vs Mexico {P & R}

That´s a reasonable line up. I don´t really care about this match, you wanna know why? Because a guy in Coimbra who´s the new mix of Zandinga and Gabriel Alves has told me today that Holland will beat Argentina. That´s guaranteed, Carlos!

Edit: Forgot the complementary "hur hur hur"

our B team will beat Mexico, i'm sure about that :ewan:

you see, if Ronaldo, Figo, Deco and company were to play tomorrow, most likely these players would refrain from hard plays to avoid injurys, yellow cards and so on.

but our B guys have nothing to loose, and everything to win! to most of them it will be the only chance they'll have during this WC. and i bet they are eager to grab that chance with both hands, and make the most of it. remember Portugal-Germany in Euro2000? :jap:

Nuno

Starting XI
OK, forget the last lineup I posted. 'The only changes will be the five players who are on a yellow card,' said Scolari.

This is our most probable lineup, based on Scolari's comments.

--------------Ricardo----------------
Miguel----Meira----Carvalho---Ferreira or Caneira
---------------Petit-----------------
---------Tiago-------Maniche--------
--Figo----------------------Simao---
------------ NunoGomes-------------

I prefer Nuno Gomes to Pauleta anyway, he get's more involved in the set up rather than just wait for the tap-in like Pauleta always seems to do. I'm pretty sure that's why he completely dissapears against teams with decent defences..

Screw Nuno Gomes, he's a freakin' ballerina on the field - I'd take Pauleta over him anyday.

As for Costa, **** guys, most of you are too critical, why is everyone hating on him all of a sudden, I know he blows, but still, give him a chance to prove his worth. Tomorrow will be his opportunity. I don't understand how everyone hates on him when he hasn't really done anything phucked up thus far. If he does, then bash him, but give him the benefit of the doubt first.

It seems that Boa-Morte will play as left-back... Scholari has been trying him in that position, in training, at good effect!

By Scolari words I doubt Ricardo Costa is starting tomorrow, and btw drop it. He had loads of chances to prove his worth at Porto and youth NTs and he never did.

In fact I can't think of one player who had so many chances in such a short career.


Last time Scolari tried Boa Morte at Left back we lost the game because of it. The guy is not even a midfielder... he's a left forward, he can't defend.

I'd start Nuno Gomes in the AMC spot if I had a good striker to play in front of him like Joao Tomás. In this case playing Postiga would be like playing with 10 men. Therefore Tiago/Maniche it is.

I hope Scolari rests Figo so he's ready to kick ass in the weekend and hope he keeps the Meira + Carvalho partnership. Those guys need as much time as they can to gel.

i really like the starting lineup for mexico ; very aggresive ; they wont let portugal breath trustme; that is going to be the diference in the game; bravo and kikin are going to help alot comming down midfield;also thats why they are putting marquez in the midfield ; to shut down everything that passes by ; and if many of you portuguese fans seen his past 2 games you can pretty sure agree with me he can do it. 1:0 2:0 mexico

I think the reserves will give Mexico a tough time. They sure want to prove they got what it takes to be a first option, and you know what? Most of them could easily be a first choice: Simão, Paulo Ferreira, Nuno Gomes... these are quality subs, man. (Y)

Still think Angola has a chance! (Y) They'd be a great match-up for either Argentina or Holland (to injure their star players, of course).

And I'll be working during the game, goddamn. :nape:
