no, it isnt here yet, but when it does get out i wanna post it here. some one can do it for me if they want, but i mainly made this thread b/c there's gonna be a big-ass discussion about who is going and who isnt. i sense a heated conversation brewing this week....
it will be announced this wednesday (07/21) @ 12:30 pm http://www.abola.pt/nnh/index.asp?op=dest¬icia=67497&d=1&tema=30
today i popped by the manchester united threads... anyway i was looking for info that might hint as to whether ronaldo would grace portugal with his skills at athens. i found a post that said ferguson said he wouldnt be on the US tour with his team. b/c he had been playing alot recently. this might mean the same fgor the olympics but i doubt it being that he would have had a month+ to "recooperate". my only point is that we may have to do without our talented little attacker for athens. sad, i know. he is an essential part of our team.
its ok quaresma before he went to barca was jsut as good as ronaldo plus w ehave carlitos, carlos martins etc.
hey, well, the time for it to be released on wednesday is 12:30, is that portugal time or east coast time. i need to kno if i should set my alarm...
i think the 18 will be: moriera joao paulo bruno alves jorge ribeiro merio sergio custodio carlos martins lourenco ronaldo quaresma viana tiago postiga hugo almeida bowingwa meirieles areias rui costa jorge andrade??? cant see the porto d going form tjhose 18 my staritng limneup woould be.. ...........................moriera...................... .............andrade...............bruno alves................ arerias.......................................jorge ribeiro ....................tiago.........meireles..................... ronaldo........................................quaresma.. ..........................rui costa........................... ...........................postiga........................ jorge riberio is a VERY GOOD LEFT BACK and bruno alves is a good yongster CD from porto..joao paulo is OK... .

here's the list: Boavista: Frechaut Belenenses: Lourenço F.C. Porto: Bosingwa, Bruno Alves, Bruno Vale, Hélder Postiga, Raul Meireles, Ricardo Costa Fulham: Boa Morte Gil Vicente: Jorge Ribeiro Manchester United: Cristiano Ronaldo Benfica: Moreira Chelsea: Tiago Sporting: Hugo Viana, Carlos Martins, Danny e Mário Sérgio Estugarda: Fernando Meira Players over 23: Boa Morte, Fernando Meira e Frechaut Reserves: Beto II, Custódio, João Paulo e Hugo Almeida
*wakes up* sweet, its finally here. i feel, however, that a portion of myself has been lost in the wait. only to be returned when portugal touches olympic gold.... decent list. most fo the euro 2004 ppl are on it, and thats good. i hope they are rested enough. well, i wish them luck.
Well it could be better ,but the coach knows better ,Quaresma didnt get picked because hes clearly not in shape yet,he just came back from an injury. The one player that im tottaly against is FRECHAUT ,what the heck is he doing on that team?Stupid to say the least. Ronaldo is there ,wich is good ,Boa Morte is also there.and a good central defender MEIRA. Oh well,we shall see what our boys do. I would of felt much better with a good right defender.Migule for instance.
I wouldn't go that far. keep in mind...many of our young players have played alot this year. The under 21 team was involved in many competitions. This is a strong team, and considering our first round draw, we should easily make the second round. Then anything goes.
beside leaving Quaresma out, I like the three players over 23, Frechaut, Meira and Boa Morte, the last two could easily been on the A team, could be Quaresma still not 100 percent O.- Atenas 2004 José Romão divulgou lista para os Jogos Olímpicos José Romão divulgou ao início desta tarde a lista de convocados para a Selecção Nacional de Futebol que vai participar nos Jogos Olímpicos de Atenas a decorrer entre 11 e 29 de Agosto.
