    Will they be as good as the current crop or just better. I;m worried about are future defence, we have plenty of offensive skills, but will the defence hold up/

    Yes, he is. He was a constant on the U17/U18 teams and I believe he is now a member of the U-20 team. I'm suprised you know him. Where have you hear about before?

    Ah! I should've guessed.

    In case you're wondering, the other Portuguese wonder-kid in CM, Tó Madeira, is not on any Junior Teams. The reason is because he is not even a real player. The person responsible for researching the Portuguese lower leagues ended up putting himself in the game.

    he doesn't do a very good job at scouting btw. He's very very biased in the rating he's handed out to some players.

    There's more than just one guy doing the research. If I am not mistaken, I believe they try to get as many people as possible to help and make the ratings as accurate as possible. They prefer local guys; for example, that To Madeira character is from my neck of the woods (Serra da Estrela) and he actually at one time played for Gouveia.

    Where are you seeing the bias, Marco?

    We talk a all-star team from Newark in 1992 to Portugal and we left with a record of 4 wins and 1 lost.
    We stay in Manteigas and were treated very well.
    In the first game we played in Mangualde and the first game in there rebuild stadium and we won 4-1.
    In Gouveia we lost 1-0 in the last minutes.
    We beat Maritimo from Murtosa 3-1
    we went back to Serra and won 2 more games.

    Joe Manso was the coach of the all star team, one of the main directors is Augusto Amador the East Ward council, he set up the trip.
    I also was a director with the team.
    The all star team was also the NJ state champion U 23.

    Good times around Serra da Estrela.
    We also visit Covilha etc.

    Fernando Aguiar
    Argel
    JVP
    Paulinho Santos
    Soderstrom
    Pena
    Jardel's WORKRATE rating!!!! (It's 19!!!!)


    some drastically underrated players:

    Pauleta
    Deco

    PS--For some reason To Madeira is not in my game???

    Frank, we're not talking about reality...we are talking about a computer game called Championship Manager. It's a game where you can take control of virtually any team in the world, as coach and general manager.
