We are about a week away from Scolori picking Portugal"s team vs Luxembergh. So here is my opnion. Goal = Ricardo Goal = Moriera RB = Ferriera , Miguel, ( He should be fit) CB = Andrate, Carvelho, Caneria, LB = Rui Jorge ( Valente is hurt and it"s Luxembergh) DMF = Petit ( He will be fit ) DMF = Tiago DMF = Maniche PM = Deco RW = Cristiano Ronaldo LW = Simao Sabrosa LW = Louis Boa Morte S = Pauleta S = Nuno Gomes S= Helder Postiga 18 players will be perfect for Luxembergh.
Constinha Remember were playing Luxemburg so we don't need to replace Costinha with another defensive Midfielder
Portugal vs. Luxembourg Good game for Scolari to experiment. Contrary to popular opinion Scolari will call up Helder 'how's my hair' Postiga, even though his form has been sh~t. If Postiga doesn't get the call...that could be yet another big blow to his fragile ego. Contrary to most posters...we need to win this game...Slovakia aren't giving us any breathing room. If I was Scolari I'd call up Forwards: Pauleta, Gomes, Postiga, Ronaldo, Simao, Boa Morte Midfielders: Deco, Nuno Assis, Maniche, Costinha, Tiago, Petit Defenders: Andrade, Carvalho, Miguel, Ferreira, Valente, Ribeiro, Caneira Goalkeepers: Ricardo, Moreira ...and If i was Scolari I'd start: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~Pauleta~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~Ronaldo~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Simao ~~~~~~Maniche~~~~~~~~Deco~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Petit~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~N. Valente~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~P. Ferrreira ~~~~~~~~~Andrade~~~Carvalho~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~Ricardo~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If we got a lead at half time bring on Postiga for Pauleta 60' Bring in Jorge Ribeiro for N. Valente 75' Bring on Nuno Assis for Deco Note: Quaresma and Almeida too important for the Under-21/s
my pick for the squad: g: moreira rb: ferreira and miguel cb: carvalho andrade caneira lb: ribeiro mf: deco maniche costinha tiago petit lw: ronaldo lw: simao rw: quaresma rw:mendes s: pauleta
U21 call ups Goal = Bruno Vale Goal = Pedro Riberio RB = Miguel Garcia, Periera, CB = Assis, Amoreinha, Riberio, LB = Valdir and Daniel DMF = Cusdio, Fernendez, Boswinga, PM = Viana, Wingers = Sergio, Quaresma, Danny, Varela, Strikers = Almeida, Vaz Te,
You're missing a couple key components , but some good selections. Where's your second option goalkeeper? (e.g Ricardo) Where's your second option left lateral back? (e.g. Valente) Where's your second option strikers? (eg. Gomes). Btw, Mendes isn't a winger...he's a defensive midfielder. Ah..thats why Scolari gets paid the big bucks.
Bosingwa is too old I think. Raul Meireles will be called up instead. Carlos Martins will be called up I think, as well will Lourenco in place of Vaz Te. (politics). I hope Vaz Te gets called up though.
Hey guys Nuno Assis is 27 years old, the Ribeiro taht is in the u21 is pedro Ribeiro of Porto, Bosingwa is 21 so he isn't too old, Carlos Martins is 22 years old, so he's too old, so who is that assis in that team?
