Agostinho Oliveira will unveil his rosters for the upcoming friendlies against Tunisia (Oct 12) and Sweden (Oct 16). Any thoughts on surprise additions/subtractins? I saw Nuno from Porto and Quim join Ricardo as the three keepers.
Here is the squad for the friendlies on thwe 12th (Tunisia) and 16th (Sweden). Quim replaces Baia, and Neca takes the roster spot vacated by Tiago from the England game. Inter Milan: Sérgio Conceição Milan: Rui Costa Nápoles: Vidigal Lázio: Fernando Couto Newcastle United: Hugo Viana Boavista: Ricardo and Jorge Silva Bordeaux: Pauleta F. C. Porto: Paulo Ferreira, Nuno Valente, Costinha and Capucho. Fulham: Boa-Morte. Belenenses: Neca. Real Madrid: Luís Figo. Sp. Braga: Quim. Benfica: Petit, Simão and Nuno Gomes. Sporting: Beto and Rui Jorge. Stuttgart: Fernando Meira.
It is interesting that Caneira was once again left out of the lineup. Anyone have any insights into how he has been playing with Bordeaux? I fully expected him to be back into the lineup once he had a couple of games under his belt.
The following are on standby: Nélson (Sporting), Pedro Mendes (V. Guimarães), José Nando (Paços de Ferreira), Pedro Henriques (Santa Clara) and Marco Ferreira (V. Setúbal)
Seleccao with the way Simao has been playing do you think they should start him? I just think he could do some serious damage. Conceicao has been somewhat quiet lately.
Baia (who is not on the roster this time) Beto – Couto – Meira Petit Conceicao Rui Jorge Rui Costa Figo Simao Pauleta I expect something very similar – at least to start.
