This tuseday the U-21 team will play in Portugal. They will be without Thierno Bah, Mario Eggimann, Kim Jaggy and Philippe Senderos who are all injured. It will be interesting to see who plays, and how well they do.

I wonder if Portugal is still pissed after losing 2-0 at the U-21 Euro Cup this summer...

That was a sweet game :D
I was there in person. Over half of the people in the sold-out Hardturm supported Portugal in that game. That makes the 2-0 win in an "away" game even more impressive...

What is Senderos' injury? How serious?

Not sure what it is, but I don't think it's very serious.

Portugal - Switzerland 2:1
(85' Andre Muff for SUI)

We lost, oh well. I guess Portugal was pretty keen on getting revenche, and having a depleted squad didn't exactly help either.

Too bad. A win would have been nice, but with injuries... From what I have read Senderos's injury was not very serious.

There were 2500 people at the game. Portugal scored in the 2 and 29th minutes. Andre Muff scored on what was called a "Big keeper error". What that was, I don't know. Mabye the keeper punted the ball off his back and Muff collected it and nutmeged the keeper. That would have been a big error.
