I work at Luxembourg airport and the NT arrived this afternoon and let me tell you guys it was a total mess during half an hour , the entrance and the exit of the airport were blocked by portuguese fans from LUX.There was cars parked everywhere.I have been working there for 14 years and I have never seen something like that before...

I can only agree with you.I have cab drivers nearby my office and most of them are Portuguese and during last EC soccer was more interesting for them than customers...

how many times do the U21 of Luxemburg play in front of a standing room crowd?
Luxemburg federation will make money with the two games against Portugal

gerby · Nov 16, 2004

No idea of what the attendance for the U21 may be (I don't even know where they will play...).I'm belgian and I am only in LUX for work so I can't answer your question.For sure the FLF will make money with the game of tomorrow.I attempted Luxembourg-England 4 years ago at the Josy Barthel stadium and it was sold out:max capacity 10000 and I will never forget the english national anthem sang by almost 6000 english fans this was unbelievable but I'm sure Portuguese fans will be as good For Portugal if they had a 50000 stadium it would have been filled up,definitely because you have also quite a lot of Portuguese living in France along the border with LUX.Anyway the game will be a piece of cake for you for sure !

70,000 portuguese leave in Luxemburg alone, I watch today's game and they have people standing all around the stadium

I can't believe after this game we will have to wait until March for another NT game. 2004 has been a great year for the Portugal National team and I hope they go out with a bang.

I think there's a friendly against Ireland in January or Feb.

Russia 4 Estonia 0 FT and Liechtenstein 1 Latvia 1 2nd H

leafster · Nov 17, 2004

I wanna see at least another goal for Portugal before the half. A one goal lead isn't secure enough.

leafster · Nov 17, 2004

2-0 ROnaldo!!!!!!!!!!!!! Another header

leafster · Nov 17, 2004

I think Boa Morte's goal has been called an own goal

Ibranco · Nov 17, 2004

At the website I am at, http://www.livescore.com/default.dll?page=home , it says a. Besic scored the first goal

leafster · Nov 17, 2004

Announcer says Ronaldo has his 5th goal in qualification...the highest for any Portuguese player.

Frank Cunha · Nov 17, 2004

nice head shot to the right of the goal keeper

leafster · Nov 17, 2004

Announcer getting cocky..wants 7 goals
