I know this is the EURO but i can't take youth tournaments anymore after what happened last year. Dominating Brazil only to lose on PK's in a tournament we should have won.

Ya last summer still stings a bit; by far the best team at the u20 world cup and we choke on pks after dominating Brazil...then in the u21 euros we were easily the most talented team and lost to Sweden of all teams in the final on pks...in almost a youth version of euro 2004

Really strong tournament lots of really really good teams. Jose Gomes and Domingos Quina have been excellent this team has some very talented players in every position except striker. If Gomes gets injured I don't think Mikael Almeida has much quality. I really like Miguel Luis from sporting, he seems like such a well rounded player, him and Quina link up quite well. I'm looking forward to the game verse Austria the six changes to the first XI in the last game really stopped our momentum I feel, hopefully we can get the swagger back of the first 2 games.

Portugal 5 (Gomes '7, '18, '47, Dju '51 & Luis '77) Austria 0

Austria were torn apart with only one attempt on goal (off target) the whole game. Dalot hit the post and Gomes could of got another goal. Gomes is the leading scorer in the tournament with 6 goals and he was subbed after scoring 2 against Azerbaijan and did not play most of the game against Belgium, MASSIVE talent at the striker position. This team looks as good as the U21 one last year.

Portugal vs Sweden or Netherlands on Wednesday the 18th in the semi final.

lol What, Jose Gomes is the tournaments lead scorer and is a striker.

verde-rubro · May 14, 2016

really like the number 8 what a great shot he has and the little 7 good dribbler and rides tackles keeping the ball just bounces of the defenders

GoodDead · May 14, 2016

This is going to be a Portugal - Germany/Spain final. Barring a total collapse vs Sweden (again) if they get through Netherlands.

Area 51 · May 14, 2016

Don't we play the winner of Spain/England?

That's the kid from sporting Miguel Luis, he's quality but that whole midfield is amazing I think they've gone with Gedson, Florentino and Quina due to their benfica connection. However I think Florentino reputation from younger years is keeping him in the first XI for me Luis should start.

Jose Gomes is one hell of a player, he has all the tools and most importantly is such a clinical finisher.

Ya, I heard them say that too. But they must be mistaken. Uefa.com says we're playing Holland on Wednesday. Same with the Portuguese Football Federation's official site.
