the PORTUGAL thread

[Don]

im surprised that this wasnt created before.are there no portugal fans here.

wat do u think are the chances of portugal actually doing well this time around

As they long as they continue to have Mr MIA Diving Softee (Deco) then I will have to cheer on the team they are playing against.

If there isn't a player who goes down quicker then him (maybe Robben) then I would like to know who.

If Ariel Ortega was still around he could have given him a run for his money

He is still around. He's playing for Newell's Old Boys. Most of the Argentinian league contains divers anyway.

regardless of decos diving, although perhaps overated hes a player with plenty of ability imo.

[Don]

yes deco dives but if they play well this time around what do u guys think are their chancees

[sledger]

can progress to the knockout rounds, where its likely they will meet argentina in the last 16, i wouldnt have thought they would get much further than that, but if they play well than who knows..

I'll be interested how Pauleta goes.

For a guy who scores a lot of goals I'm surprised he still plays in France and not in Spain as I'm sure he would have plenty of offers from there.

i think pauleta is pretty overated tbh, his perfomances at the very top level have left alot to be desired which is probably why he hasnt moved to a bigger side.
