Heres my go Ricardo Beto-Couto-Rocha-Rui jorge Petit-vianna conceicao(or Simao)-R.costa-Figo Pauleta The only shameful thing is the absence of Xaveir and J.andrade......(defence sucks) Otherwise its a pretty strong team........ With subs like Gomes Quim costinha simao
Baia Paulo Ferreira-Couto-Beto-Nuno Valente Petit-Costinha Conceicao-Viana-Figo Pauleta What is should be: Quim Paulo Ferreira-Litos-JAndrade-Valente Costinha Petis Conceicao-Viana-Simao Postiga or Pauleta
The team that should be call in Quim Xavier Couto Litos or Emanuel Rui Jorge Petit Vidigal Conceicao Rui Costa or Figo Simao Pauleta Subs Figo or Simao Nuno Gomes
hahahaha..I know.............. if the coach wasnt stupid it should be Quim Xavier-Couto-litos-Riu jorge Petit-costinha Simao-R.costa-figo pauleta subs Vianna-r.costa ferriera-litos or gomes-pauleta conceicao for simao
We almost agree to the same line up the only change would be Costinha instead of Vidigal, we have to starter the game with two defensive midfielders. Know I would have to starter with either Ricardo or Baia and today's game could decide wish one I would use. with no Xavier you got to go with P. Ferreira you can't play with three defenders against England in England
Don't be surprise if changes are made in the next two days, the medical from the portuguese federation is going to take a look at same players, and changes will be made, it always happens.
This is the lineup I would like to see Ricardo Conceicao - Beto - Couto - Rui Jorge Petit - Viana Figo - R. Costa - Simao Pauleta
Portugal will play with two defensive midfielders, Costinha after today's game will be in the lineup, he was by far one of the best Porto players.
But it would not hurt. He defends well. He is very fast and could actually control the ball. I like Xavier, but I have to agree with Selecao, he is very slow and easliy beaten
Not sure when the last time was....but he used to play back there. I just remembered that Agostinho said he was going to play a 3x4x, which may change some things.
I can't be specific on the game or games, but I have seen Sergio play RD before. Anyone else remember besides selecao
Based upon the lineup at today's practice, it appears that AO may line up a 3x4x3 (as promised) with three central defenders and Baia (yes, Baia) in net. Today's lineup looked like this: Vítor Baía Beto - Meira - Couto Sérgio Conceição - Jorge Petit and Rui Costa; Simão and Capucho (Figo did conditioning work) Pauleta It appears that he wants to give Sergio and Rui Jorge the freedom to run down their respective flanks. I love the Simao-Rui Costa-Figo-Pauleta combination up front. http://www.maisfutebol.iol.pt/futb/...21&mf_club=0&num_jog=0&p_sondagem=0&p_voto=0#
I agree and probably #5 behind Nelson and Moreira. We want to go with new blood and we still have this old geezer around.
Moreira still needs time, and Nelson is a little green at the international level. As I think more about it, he is firmly the No. 3 at this point. It is probably good to have him on the team to tutor Quim (who, I realize, is not there this time around) and Ricardo.
