    This two-game series should be very exciting, especially if France selects players like Cisse and Mexes.
    Portugal’s team:
    Guarda-redes: Moreira (Benfica) e Bruno Vale (F. C. Porto);

    Defesas: Mário Sérgio (Sporting), Bruno Alves (V. Guimarães), Ricardo Costa (F. C. Porto), João Paulo (U. Leiria), Cadú (Paços de Ferreira) e Jorge Ribeiro (Varzim)

    Médios: Raúl Meireles (Boavista), Tiago (Benfica), Bosingwa (F. C. Porto), Hugo Viana (Newcastle), Carlos Martins (Sporting) e Custódio (Sporting);

    Avançados: Danny (Marítimo), Quaresma (Barcelona), Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United), Lourenço (Sporting), Hélder Postiga (Tottenham), Makukula (Valladolid).

    Portugal 3-0 in Portugal

    1-1 in France

    2 goals by Ronaldo, one by Postiga

    nice biased prediction there. Seriously you can't tell me that Portugal has more young talent than France cause they don't.

    I think, you know almost nothing about France guy, France is a multicultural country, "french name" don't really mean anything, most of french have some strangers ancestors(it's a richness)
    ...

    ALL french players are really french man, yes a lot of french are black, all except 1 or 2 are born in France and these ones came in france when they were very young(under 8)...

    before saying silly(and rascists?) things like that, I advice you to learn somethings...


    about the match it's obvious that the two teams are great, and we may see a great match...

    "so please just because u r from france don't go thinking you guys are the best... just like you guys were gonna beat Porto hahahaha. Right David Dunn???"
    I never said Marseille was better than Porto guy, you can read what I wrote before the matches and after, but hopefully in few years things will change...

    having lived half my life in Paris, I hold nothing against the french. and the marseille guy is right, robert is french, his choice.

    that said, his dad (or mom, but i think it was dad) is portuguese born and a life long benfica fan. actually he says it came down to a choice between benfica and some french club team (metz i think).

    whatever, i guess you could also argue Viera is portuguese right? *laf*

    Vieira is Cabo Verdiano

    going back to the game, nice to see Tiago scored two of the three Benfica goals

    nice shutout for Moreira with Benfica

    france
    he's french,
    he's born in Dakar(Senegal), and came in France at 7 years old...
    he's one of the 2 french players whose not born in France.
    Pires is born in Reims, and he learned football in Reims, what more?
    you don't need to prove that your ancestors are all french on 4 generation to be french, BTW, he's more french than portuguese, and he feel himself french and he like portugal of course...

    I was here to speak about a great match between 2 great teams, I don't understand why some of you are so agressives...

    Yeah bias prediction but whats wrong with it? Frank is Portuguese and he just saying is opinion that Portugal is gonna win. I say the same thing. what is so wrong with that? you want him to say France is gonna win? About the talent thing, yeah i think Portugal as better young talent than France, even though France are no slouch and have great talent. But i think lately Portugal has been proving their young talent through good results, and my favorite between Portugal and France is Portugal..of course that is just my bias opinion!!!but unlike Sportboy, who said "there is no way Porto can win against Marseille in Marseille",i admite France could win against Portugal, after all, soccer is a very unpredictable game.
