Re: Euro 2012 Qualifying Draw. I think Portugal will be awesome for 2012 Euro. C. Ronaldo with 2 years of Jose Mourinio will make him a leader "For once" And no more Ferreira will be a plus. 2014 will be our strongest team since 2000. But this is all in the future right? lol
Re: Euro 2012 Qualifying Draw. --------------------------Eduardo/Patricio---------------------------- Bosingwa----------Pepe-----------------Bruno Alves---------Fábio Coentrão -------------Manuel Fernandes------Miguel Veloso-------------------- ------------------------------Danny---------------------------------- Cristiano Ronaldo---------------Varela-------------------------Nani---- Subs: Carrico M.Vitor Orlando Sa Ruben Micael Yazalde R.Amorim Almeida Meireles Brandao Nelson Miguel Lopes
Re: Euro 2012 Qualifying Draw. Very optimistic 23. I still think Ferreira, Carvalho and Simao will be in the mix. Can't see Yazalde making it unless he improves tremendously in the next few years. and Nelson?
Re: Euro 2012 Qualifying Draw. Cant wait WC 2010 well win then well win euro 2012 then well win WC 2014 in Brasil then WC 2018 at home will be an epic run of unprecedented glory.
Re: Euro 2012 Qualifying Draw. Portugal will be the first nation to win 3 World cups at home 2010 in Africa 2014 in Brasil 2018 back in Portugal baahhaahahahha dont call the PC police on me again its world cup therefore I am proud of everything .
Re: Euro 2012 Qualifying Draw. ---Z---... I hope you are right lol. Man I just want them to win 1 so my uncles and Dad of course the rest of the Portuguese can finaly celebrate and say "WE ARE CHAMPIONS" Too bad the world ends in 2012 lol
Re: Euro 2012 Qualifying Draw. lol im prolly off my rocker but i dont care. im just pumped for the wc.
Re: Euro 2012 Qualifying Draw. No doubt! This team is gonna look young. 2018 is the year Mourinho takes OVER Portugal is long overdue. Ad like I said, we're close to the title.... just need that fire in Ronaldo to be more active and play as a team leader. Individuals to not win games: teamwork does!
Re: Euro 2012 Qualifying Draw. Hmmm Greece as done nothing since, luck is luck. Portugal played better that game, but that's soccer one corner and boom it's all over. Thanks to C. Ronaldo who was way to young to play in that Tournament in my opinion. He gave them that corner and it was the first corner they got all game. That's sport and life. C. Ronaldo being coached by Mourinho for the next two years will hopefully turn him into a true Leader.... If he can't do that, then no one will.
Re: Euro 2012 Qualifying Draw. Has the FPF announced the stadiums yet for the home games? Think I'm finally going to take a trip to Portugal and see a game in person.
Re: Euro 2012 Qualifying Draw. Unfortunately only saw one Portugal beating Brasil 2-0 at the Emirates in London.
Re: Euro 2012 Qualifying Draw. F it is. In between my last post, we got Russia, but it's very doable.
Re: Euro 2012 Qualifying Draw. Paulo Bento named the roster for the game against Cyprus. Bento must have something against Bosingwa because he's left out again despite starting regularly for Chelsea ahead of Ivanovic. Guarda-redes: Eduardo (Benfica), Quim (SC Braga) e Rui Patrício (Sporting); Defesas: Bruno Alves (Zenit), Fábio Coentrão (Real Madrid), Rolando (FC Porto), João Pereira (Sporting), Pepe (Real Madrid), Ricardo Carvalho (Real Madrid), Sílvio (Atlético de Madrid) e Eliseu (Málaga); Médios: André Santos (Sporting), João Moutinho (FC Porto), Raul Meireles (Liverpool), Rúben Micael (Saragoça), Miguel Veloso (Génova) e Paulo Machado (Toulouse); Avançados: Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid), Danny (Zenit), Hélder Postiga (Sporting), Hugo Almeida (Besiktas), Nani (Manchester United) e Varela (FC Porto)
Re: Euro 2012 Qualifying Draw. Shame it's not a friendly, would like to see how Eliseu does as a LB. He plays regularly for Malaga in that position after all. Anyway I hope the XI is something like: -----------------------------------R. Patrício----------------------------------- J. Pereira-------------R. Carvalho-----------Pepe-----------------F. Coentrão ------------------------------------A. Santos----------------------------------- -----------------------Moutinho--------------R. Meireles----------------------- C. Ronaldo----------------------------------------------------------------Nani -------------------------------------Postiga------------------------------------
Re: Euro 2012 Qualifying Draw. So Bosingwa has been one of Chelsea's best players in the opening salvo of matches in the EPL and he's still not called? Me thinks there's some beef going on....
Re: Euro 2012 Qualifying Draw. How does Veloso and Machado warrant a call up with Castro out? Bosingwa had a wicked assist last weekend to win the game for Chelsea and he's left out? Hopefully it's only for now because I prefer Bosingwa over Pereira now that he's looking to have gained his form back.
Re: Euro 2012 Qualifying Draw. One swallow (or two) does not make a summer. Bos looks like he might be back (which is great news), but he needs a few more good games before he takes someone else's place IMO.
Re: Euro 2012 Qualifying Draw. area 51 we know you're nico. Post once in a while on the other site <3
Re: Euro 2012 Qualifying Draw. http://www.canalplus.es/fiebre-maldini/videos/fiebre-maldini-24-2011-marcelo-lippi/20111025plucanftb_1/RT Lippi wants to coach a good NT for the 2014 WC. Should we consider him above Bento if we fail to qualify or do poorly in 2012 ?
Im not so sure I could handle having an Italian coaching my NT. Mind you, could you imagine him coaching us to a victory over Italy. That would be funny. That being said. I think it would be too weird for me. Im on the no side.
Re: Euro 2012 Qualifying Draw. If Mourinho wins the Spanish League and and CL with Real Madrid this season he might take it, not taking any chances with managing a Portugal team that could be weaker than this one in the future...
