If Ricardo don't screw up we might have a chance of winning this game... :chew:
IMO the result will be 1-1 or 1-2... anyway i'm crossing my fingers to see another pathetic display of that guy we all know but still a win for us...
BTW what u guys think of the flash interview of Scolari after yesterday's game? I think he was ridiculous with that sentence of "palhaçada" about the players that are benched in his clubs and playing regularly in the NT... that's because of these statements i don't like this brazilian, it was about time to see what other people clearly see, the better players in his clubs should be the ones that play...
We haven't lost a game in a very long time, yet you still question Scolari. I know some of his decisions raise eyebrows, but have some faith. The guy took us further than any other coach has. I for one am glad that Scolari doesn't listen to the media or to club fans.
My opinion:
All our gk's are the same. They're all frangos. Baia was in WC 2002, Moreira's a kid(not a prodigy like Casillas), Quim doesn't play enough, and Ricardo gets retarded sometimes. What's most important is the defence in front of them and we have a World Class defence. IMO Ricardo gets screwed over at Sporting because they have a ****ty defence. Polga should be playing for Luxemburg the way he plays.
Now as for strikers, who the f*** do we have. Pauleta IS Portugal's best striker. He plays the most games, scores the most goals, and has the most experience. Pauleta's goals yesterday were very classy. Nuno Gomes is too inconsistent, Postiga scores once in a blue moon, and....wait no and. There is noone else. Hugo Almeida??? Please, he ain't ready.
So in conclusion, our problem is the fact that we don't have much depth available for those two positions. Every other position is superb. Trust in Scolari people, he hasn't let us down. Trust that he will make the right decisions. The emotion he showed for our team and country during the Euro won me over. He cares about our team and about winning regardless of all the criticism he recieves from idiots on their soap boxes. What our team needs most from us is complete support. The same type of support that Algarve gave Ricardo yesterday.
