Thanks guys for the help. So the question of the day is where is Quresema not on the national team and not on the under21 either what gives?
Come on man, the game against Albania is just a friendly and Albania is not exactly a top noch team (no offense). I would think the U21 now is a bit more important than this friendly...and Scolari should let Ronaldo, and Viana play with the U21. They have plenty of big boys available for the AA's. Is just common sense (which there is probably a lack of it)....Quaresma, i don't know what the deal is????? Anyone know?
I hear Quaresma was called Sunday at last minute, I don't see any TV coverage for this game, also trying to find out the time of the game.
I don't agree, we can qualify for the European Cup finals and a spot for next year Olympics in Greece.

Para o técnico José Romão o trabalho é ingrediente fundamental para alcançar a vitória: «Temos de encarar o próximo jogo com toda a nossa sabedoria mas também com todo o nosso talento e suor, porque essa a única forma de ganharmos.» Quanto ao objectivo, Romão é peremptório: «Só temos um: ganhar. Portanto iremos fazer para isso.» As ausências de maior destaque na convocatória do seleccionador de Sub-21 são Cristiano Ronaldo e Hugo Viana, chamados à selecção principal e ainda Tiago e Bruno Alves, fora por castigo.
