Euro2008 Team Profile - Portugal

Portugal has exploded onto the international scene in recent years, reaching the semifinals of the 2000 European Championships and the 2006 World Cup plus making it all the way to the finals of the 2004 European Championships. The Portuguese only lost one game in qualifying, to eventual group champion Poland, but drew six times, including an embarrassing 1-1 tie with Armenia.

Portugal has been successful in recent European Championships, but this year it will have a not so secret weapon in the form of Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United). The winger scored 42 goals in all competitions for the Red Devils during the past season and is the main reason they won their second consecutive Premiership title. Ronaldo also scored United’s goal in the Champions League final, which the Red Devils won in penalties. Cristiano Ronaldo will also have Simao (Atletico Madrid) and United teammate Nani to help him on the offensive side while Chelsea’s Ricardo Carvalho will bring experience on the defensive end.

Portugal has the talent to make it out of the group stage, where they’ll play Switzerland, the Czech Republic and Turkey, and progress far into the tournament. Ronaldo will have to shine on one of Europe’s biggest stages, but if he does he can lead this team to glory.

Comments

Cristiano will probably definatly be the key but nani is the boss head butting someone in a red devilss match go nani

C.Ronaldo is best soccer player in the world and i think portugal is going to win this years euro cup because they have a good squad right now.

c.ronaldo is the most over rated player in the world. he dives anytime there is a defensive player withen five feet of him. leo messi is the greatest striker, too bad he is on the wrong continent. go greece.

andy has no idea of what soccer is about, c. ronaldo is probably either the best or one of the best players in the world, soccer is about scoring and skill, and he has mastered both. portugal has a great squad right now, and i think they have a good chance of winning, but we'll see tomorrow..

Andy is an idiot..

u r right c. ronaldo is the greatest player on the planet beside ronaldino

Portugal is going all the way this year with C.ronaldo leading the way.

kyle is right C.ronaldo and ronaldino are the best players in the world.

Portugal is going all the way this year with C.ronaldo leading the way.

portugal has no chance considering england holland and france are going to kill them.

russ,
england didnt even qualify for the euros so how would they be able to kill portugal??
and considering that none those teams are even in the same group as portugal, they would have to advance to the next round to be able to play them so if they got killed by any of them they would be eliminated.
Idiot

CRISTIANO RONALDO!!!!!!!!!!!! #1 in in the world baby. come on portugual i know u can do it this year! PORTUGUAL 4 EVER!!!!!!

russ is stupid, and doesn't know what he,s talking about.

Portugal is the best soccer team in the universe.

see you guys in the finals =] Poland!!!!!

Portugal is gonna smash dis year thanxs 2 cristiano ronaldo

C.Ronaldo is alsome.He is completely on FFIIRREE! He is FFAASSTT.If he leave MANCHESTER UNITED to REAL MADRID I will burst completely in tears.Man U fans love him so much to let him go.In qualifying he has done very well.I can understand Portugal winning Euro 08 with their POURTUGEUSE Giants!COME ON PORTUGAL WE CAN WIN THIS,ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS JUST WANT IT MORE,BE HUNGRY TO BE CROWWNED EURO 08 CHAMMPIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think that Cristiano Ronaldo will obviusly play a huge part for portugal, but i think that teams like Germany and Italy wont have too much of a problem containing him. I would love to see some of miguel veloso's talent, and I think that Nani will grow as a player in this euro and I hope Portugal can win it, but realisticly i belive a semifinal birth would be great

i agree with Justin. Cristiano Ronaldo is the greatest in the world, and look, he's only 23. He is the reason that Portugal is going to win it this year. not only do they have Ronaldo but they also have Deco, nani, and great defenders like paulo fereira. and Russ, u should probably just stop talking about soccer because u have no idea what is going on in the soccer world. and by the way if u hadnt figured this out yet, ENGLAND DIDNT QUALIFY!!!

russ, you have probably never watched soccer you just think c.ronaldo is hott and obviously england didnt qualify

yes! portugal won 2 nil pepe and raul.M scored

yeah! FORCA PORTUGAL! to bad that keeper had a fingertip on that free kick of C. Ronaldo.....could have been even better!

c.ronaldo is the best in free kicks

Esta bien lo acepto C.Ronaldo tiene talento puede que sea uno de los mejores jugadores del balon pie en el mundo pero no es EL MEJOR. Tenemos que darle credito a Fernando Torres, Lionel Messi, Nani, Kun Aguero entre otros pero vamos!! No lo alaben tanto ni que fuera un Dios jaja tomenlo por el lado amable. Portugal es un equipo de primera y les deseo mucha suerte en la Euro pero no hay que exagerar.....

Cristano Ronaldo is the best and know one can stop him or Purtugal by the way England isn't in it. C. Ronaldo once aagain is the best in the world I watch all of his games I am the #1 fan.

i dont know much about Manchester United and all. I saw their game against Chelsea and they killed it(!!!), but can anyone explain to me how C.Ronaldo is on both Man. United and Portugal teams??? i'm a little confused???


P.S.- i also think C.ronaldo is a total freakin hottie!!!! but thats only ONE reason i like him so much!!! :)

yo pienso que el mejor judar del mundo es messi, yo lo digo porque me a tocado compartir exelentes experiensias con la seleccion, y al mismo tiempo valoro el esfuerzo de c. ronaldo. que es un jugar determinante para purtugal.

thank you for agreeing with me fiss.
why the heck would you come to portugals page if u are gonna say something bad about them??
Portugal all the way
so far 1-0
beat turkey 2-0 today..could have been way worse

I LOVE CRISTIANO JEJEE DESDE AKID E VENEZUELA

Hey Illy.. i understand how this is hard to get..
but Manchester United is a club team and Portugal is a national team so Manchester is his club and Portugal is his country..
like say i play for arsenal (which would never happen, Manchester all the way)
and i am from Portugal.. i would be able to play for both teams because one is my club and the other is my country..
hopefully that clears it up for you :)
fell free to ask anything else about soccer and i will do my best to answer

Cristiano Ronaldo is the best player. Simao and him will be the keys to Portugal's victory and obtaining the Cup. Ricardo is a very good goali as well!!! GO PORTUGAL you can do IT!!!!! CRISTIANO YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!

ya ronaldo is the best in the world how can you disagree.. ronaldinho is terrible so dont put him in the same class as ronaldo..with deco, simao, carvalho, nani around him ronaldo will rule euro 2008 and portugal will go all the way

I hope Portugal fail & trip up. I cant stand them. Cheating, crying, diving babies. Most important I hope Ronaldo is left to rot on the bench for the remainder of his contract with Manchester United. He's nothing but a little snake & needs a healthy dose of humble pie & to be put in check. Madrid can have him once his contract has expired but for the mean time United should bench the little rodent as they have players' that can step up & fill his shoes.

HEY SKIPPY YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY A DISGRUNTLED CHELSEA FAN AND MAD THAT YOU GUYS LOST THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE. GUARANTEED C.RONALDO GETS NAMED BEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD BY FIFA. BESIDES WHOLE ELSE IN THE WORLD WOULD FILL RONALDO'S SHOES, LET ALONE A PLAYER ON MAN U.
VIVA A PORTUGAL E VIVA O BENFICA........!
SEE YOU GUYS AT THE FINALS.........
PS. SKIPPY STAY MAD U LOSER.

skippy, you couldnt be anymore wrong. Ronaldo is the best player to come out of sporting lisbon and lead any team he steps onto. your obviously upset that your little babies on chelsea lost. go find a whole a cry. portugal and man u will be the best as long as they have ronaldo.

christiano ronaldo is the key to potugal the other day he made the assist for the goal to take them to the wind

ronaldinho could beat the hole teammm with c ronaldo juan, ronaldo, rabinho and maybe giggs

People, if your true portugal fans, you won't focus everything on Cristiano. Yes, indeed he is in my opinion the best in the world, but he also has the best team supporting him. Look at portugals defense!! Carvalho, Ferreira, Bosingwa, Pepe. AMAZING. Nani and Quaresma upfront to help out, and the best goalie in the world... RICARDO!! too. face it its not only ronaldo that will take us to the top, its everyone on the team. Scolari #1

Viva Portugal

Andy is an idiot!!! But Ronaldo does dive sometimes!

C.Ronaldo is the best in the world the #1 ,Portugal Champions Euro 2008

Skippy brought up a good point portugal do dive. Almost as much as Italy does. Ronaldo is locked in to his contract with United & if he puts up a fuss he will rot on the bench. United will not let him go to beanerville madrid.

Ronaldoooooooooooooooooo best in the world he is going to kill every player that gets in his way

I like if c.Ronaldo play football

How many World Cup finals has Portgal played in? ZERO. How many Euro Cups have they won? ZERO. Have they ever won an international tournament before. NOPE. Didn't Ronaldo cry like a little girl after Euro 2004. YUP. Will Portugal win Euro 2008? Hahahahaah NOPE. They are losers. Always have been and they always will be.

Portugal is going into the finals and is going to kill the team thats there and all the other teams SUCK except Potugal,Italy,France,Holland,Germany and Portugal is going to win because they got player like C.Ronaldo,Nani,R.Quaresma,Deco,Simao,
R.Carvalho,Quim,Ricardo

i think portugal has a chance to win the european cup this year with C. Ronaldo

C.Ronaldo is going to dominate in Euro '08

Not only does Portugal have Ronaldo but they also have Quaresma who should start over Simao...Quaresma was better than Ronaldo at one point in time, but his failure at Barca, and Ronaldo being coached by Ferguson at ManU totally took him to another level, Ronaldo the best player today by far, Messi's level went down after that injury he had

VICA A PORTUGAL CARALHO. wow Portugal got so many haters lolz ya just mad the best player isnt Spanish or bRazilian His Portuguese ahahahahahaha Mesii mesii comeon his a a good player and all but his not a true player all he does is shake his danm body while trying to get trough a player and dont even call him a striker when do u c him score a areal goal once in a blue moon all the goals he scores are rebounds ight now look at ronaldo 42 GOALS his the man . best player in the world . i believe in Portugal and that on the 29th of june i will be celebrating their victory viva a portugal Justg look at our squad we have the best player in da world and many more players wth class like quaresma . Nani. simao decp comeon and look at our defense their like a wall nothing gets trough
viva a portugal
vamos ganhar esta ,merda!!!!

C.Ronaldo is a really good talented soccer player probably the best that portugal has at dis point....so I would like to see them in the finals..

portugal will win
i see them and holland in the final
but remember portugal still has quaresma on the bench and u cant stop portugal if u got quaresma and cristiano on the field
look what happened to brazil

c.ronaldo is the bastest player ever!!!!!!

justin is richt andy's an idiot

wow portugal didnt even put all there good players in, you got quaresma on the bench all you guys are stuck on C. Ronaldos nuts (yes his a G) you dont even see the rest of the team. watch out here comes portugal champs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PORTUGAL IS NOT GOING ALL THE WAY

Portugal does have a very strong side this year but it is no gaurantee. There are tons of other stacked teams as well and it will all come down to who plays better on the day. As for C. Ronaldo, he is good but not the best. Messi is best player in world. You will see games where Ronaldo is shut down and does nothing, but Messi always impacts the game and that is what the best players do.

Futbol is a team e4ort, so all portugese players will come togther, Don't leave out quaresma, nuno gomes,nani, and simao,deco and the the good gk Ricardo

ronaldo is the best players,i hope you is the best players this years,,,good luck

Portugal are gonna win the euro

Ronaldoz the best in the world PERIOD

someone try running as fast and be as skilled as Ronaldo and not fall when he gets tripped

keep hating haterz

FORCA PORTUGAL e RONALDO caralhoooo

we love you portugal you have the best playerst there is we love you guys go go portugal

go portugal you gona go all the way with the best players you have and the only one CRISTIANO RONALDO,LOVE YOU

Im betting my money on ya so go win!!!

Deco & Cristiano Ronaldo R Goin 2 Be Makin History Down There!!.......Also ''Ricardo'' He's A Great Keeper!!!............
~*PORTUGAL*~
=]

WoW. Ronaldo played a fantastic game today. A goal and an assist. amazing it was

My God!! It's been a pleasure to see the Portuguese team play so well! I love all you guys. Ronaldo is just amazing and a humongous threat to all other teams. Together, this team has a tremendous chance to be very close to wining it all.

Adoro-vos todos :)
Muito orgulhosa de ser Portuguesa, porra!!

c ronaldo, nani, deco, pepe, and carvalho protugal is so nice but germany has a better squad. Also spain would be a good match

In my opinion, Cristiano Ronaldo is the BEST player in the world. Ronaldinho was good at one point, but recently he has done nothing to help his country or his club. Messi did not "show up" for the Barcelona v. Manchester United game, proving his inconsistence. Portugal has a young, but very talented squad this year. their best player, Cristiano Ronaldo, has been aided by many top players. I believe Portugal can go all the way.

portugal is the most overrated team out

Cristiano Ronaldo carries this team along with Deco, Carvalho holds them down in the back,and don't forget the youg talent of Nani who culd help them of the bench.Portagul is young but still a very strong team and they'll be hungry to take this years Euro cup CHAMPIONS.

Cristiano Ronaldo is numero uno

shut up guys mexico is going to win the euro and the asia cup the final will be jamaica vs mexico or it could be mexico vs l.a.galaxy
you dorks who is cristiano ronaldo anyways?is he good?

Man ronaldo is a sick player #1 in the world but he hasnt done nothin in this years euro he played ok against republic, he is on fire at united..... too bad england didnt make it.

Deco is playin sick!

C ronaldo es simplemente genial la forma de jugar de este jugador

i would lik to see portugal in the finals considering they have been playing recently. Ronaldo is on fire and i think they should go to the finals... the only thing that might keep them from that is their keeper... ricardo is good at blocking shot and all that jazz but he isnt very efficient at comming off of his line on corners and free kicks but other wise they are finals all they way. get a w and bring it home to portugal!!!

Ronaldo will crush the compotetion with a goal everygame. his team will win the euro torny and Ronaldo will be considered the greatest footballer ever

Did Barca really trade Et'o and deco to chelsea. cause if they did chelsea will kick. Man "Utd will still crush though!

C. Ronaldo is good as far as ranking him numero uno, not quite yet. There is Leo Messi out there who is also very good. But Portugal vs Holland in the final

SPAIN IS GONNA TAKE IT ALL, NOT PORTUGAL

go portugal take home the cup

Cristiano Ronaldo is the man! But if he leaves Man Utd for Real Madrid, he'll be one of the most disrespected players in the game.Euro 08 final prediction: Portugal vs Netherlands

ronaldo and nani that combo no body can stop

go portugal

that a boy ronaldo that a boy ronaldo


go PORTUGAL

c.ronaldo is the man i hope they go all the way in euro 2008. i dont no any solid squad that could come close to stoping ronaldo. besides portigal is the best team in europe this year despite how they do in the euro.

Portugal and Netherlands in the finals

If you love football, you love ronaldo

Ronaldo sucks!!!!! Netherlands all the way

Al la galeraaaaaaaa!!! vamos a rebentar el cuete cristiano??

ronoldo is the bomb he woops anybody and nani too Portugal is just to good, GO PORTUGAL

Portugal is lucky that they were in a weak group trust me there not gonna win dont keep ur hopes up.

It's just to sad how people get to comment without knowing the GAME OF SOCCER or it's players/country Etc...

GO PORTUGAL ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ronaldo is soooooooooooooooooooooo overated! Portugal does not have the best player in the world, more like the most full-of-him-self player in the world. The team that does have the best player in the world is Germany [Ballack]!

yes yes Ronaldo is the best and possibly he can win the cup if he tried well. and infact the portugues team is not only ronaldo but there are other key players.

buds trust portugal will go noo where they never won ne thing before & wont win ne thing now. (e.g Euro 2004) - that was in Portugal ... :S

c.ronaldo is betterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

ok man19@97 you dont even know, ballack is an incredible player but c ronaldo simply is the best. Andy gray said so himself during portugal vs croatia at halftime. Portugal forever :)

malaka u should keep ur hopes up cause they are going to win it greece just got lucky last year

PORTUGAL ONLY WON THE CUP

i say either Portugal or Spain will take it.

Portugal didnt take their last game too seriously, putting in their second string and just resting up since they had already won their group. Ronaldo is very good at setting up his teammates and he also looks good when the opponents try to stop him and leave the others wide open. They got Germany next round, and it should be a win, i am thinking 2-0 with ronaldo getting a goal and the assist.

As for Spain, they are playing excellent right now. Torres isnt doing much right now, but that will get to him in the next game and he will shine. Silva is doing well at setting up his players in the box. He shakes the defense and gives it up quick. In that last game against sweden there were times where he shoulda shot instead of pass, but its okay cuz another key player they have is Avilla who scored 4/6 goals for Spain, expect him to tear it up vs. greece next game.

oh and another thing, to all you people hating on Portugal and C. Ronaldo talking about how he cries and what not, just look at all the talk he is getting. You can hate him all you want, but look at what Zlatan did in the 06 WC, he started crying and most likely cost France the game with that red card. Not yet have i seen Ronaldo loose his cool when the big game is on the line.
Oh and one more thing, Germany v Portugal rematch from World Cup, Portugal will redeem themselves

i meant Zidane haha my bad

Cristiano Ronaldo Deco and Queresma could beat every team if they play better.

If Cristiano Ronaldo makes more goals as with Manchester United with 42 goals , Portugal could win the Euro Cup.And Cristiano Ronaldo will have the most goals in the cup.

wtf are u sayin bob, last year? we won it in Portugal four years ago( o yea we also beat the U.S in basketball so Brappp!!!). & Espaina or Holland or Croatia are taking it so cheer while Portugal is still in.

c. ronaldo is the best player in the wold i dont care want anyone is saying.what like 42 goals for manchester united,hes unstopable.

if you love football you love rooonaldooo<3<3<3

the only team that have a chance to beat portugal is netherlands but portugal is just slightest bit better not much if anyone disagrees then your wrong but portugal with christano ronaldo right there leading them to victory this will be one of the greatest euro cups ever but portugal will have a challenge if they do lose its only going to be to the netherlands but they wont lose so it doesnt matter

the only team that have a chance to beat portugal is netherlands but portugal is just slightest bit better not much if anyone disagrees then your wrong but portugal with christano ronaldo right there leading them to victory this will be one of the greatest euro cups ever but portugal will have a challenge if they do lose its only going to be to the netherlands but they wont lose so it doesnt matter

ha good good portugal rocks christiano is beast

cristiano and deco rock!!!!!!!! #1 they are sick it is not far to the rest of the players but ronaldinho could beat them any day yah

cristiano ronaldo sucks, i play better and portugal sucks holland is going to win it

c.ronaldo you r the best, so i know you are trying your best so just for your #1 fan in the world play your hardest and beat everyone one

I AM a brasil fan buti thank portigal going to win because of Cristiano.

portugal is a great team, Ronaldo is amazing. They're a strong team; to me its a toss up between portugal and the netherlands they're both great. but CR is the best in the world right now!!!

This is what happens when you think you are superior and you take it light, Brazil had done it in wolrd cup 82, Germany lost the euro final to Denmark, Italy was sent home by Korea in 2002.....it doesn't matter how many great players you have on a team. THE TEAM HAS TO PLAY TOGETHER !!!!!!on paper Portugal seemed unbeatable ????? now what ?? and guess who is following them,SPAIN, the final is between Italy and Germany.

Wow...all that talk and...oh well...at least Crynaldo kept his composure this time. Now you guys can talk all about how you're going to win the World Cup in 2010.

haha germany beat portugal!

Bye bye Portugal but more important good riddens to the snake with no spine Ronaldo! United is far too good a club for the scruff Ronaldo. Spain & Madrid are a good option for him as it's an easy league to play in compared to the Premiership. I hope somebody breaks both his legs next season. To this wolfen person quit kissing @$$ to the Italians as they are even worse that Portugal I hope they crash out as well. Go toss in your pasta.

to United power, your'e such an ignorant person you don't even deserve an answer, but what do I expect from a puny peasant like you,Italy and Germany are experienced and play as a team,they will be playing the final, you'll see. Now go crawl in your hole and sob,from the way you sound you must a sobbing I'm guessing your team didn't even make it to euro 2008. ????????????? I don't kiss @$$ I call it as I see it.What I forgot about soccer you still have to learn.....

What did i tell u budss Portugal is goin nooooooooooooooo where .... & stop talking bout Ronaldo u ppl look soo dumb . Maybe in another 50 years. its ok nice try tho.

Wow, it's really funny to read all the entries here predicting Portugal's invincibility. Turns out Malaka was the only one who knew what he was talking about after all. You see, all you people drooling all over Ronaldo forgot that they play 11 a side, and one overrated player cannot win it all by himself.... you need a goalkeeper and a defense, some supporting players around your golden boy and some size, all of which Portugal lacked. So once again Portugal will not win a major tournament and probably never will!

Hey Wolfen my team is in Euro 08 the Dutch and it was no fluke they rolled over your heros Italy. Speaking of Italy you already act as if they have won the whole thing. You forget they still have to get past Spain. True like Italy Spain have not been red hot in Euro so far but I dont see them laying down for the diving, crooked Italian side. The Dutch are the only team left so far that have been getting better and better game after game. 9 goals in the first 3 games was not by way of luck. Who really knows who the final 2 teams will be as the Dutch have to get past Russia who are anything but a weak team. Just dont go crying in your pasta if your heros the Italians dont make it as stranger things have happened. I'm just glad that Ronaldo and company are out and I think it would be better for United if they take the cash and let the little prima donna hobble off to Madrid as United forged on after Cantana, Beck's and Rudd. I do hope Spain take out Italy though as Italy unlike my team the Dutch are lucky to be even making it out of the first round.

Thankk you Striker 9 u noe wat i'm talking about finnally someone in this chat thats not an air head. its ok tho portugal maybe world cup 2010' (lmfao dont take that literaly)

Guess it's not Portugal Holland in the final after all. I still think Ronaldo is a good player minus his tricks, nnut he still no Leo Messi, numero uno.

you guys rock

ALright, great game today.
Both teams played well.
Please, everyone stop dissin Ronaldo, no he's not overrated. You can't say that someeone who scored 42 (somewhere around there) goals in one season is overrated. And most of them weren't against cupcake teams like Derby County. He's great player. I promise, he can school everyone of you guys. He just doesn't have the supporting players when playing with Portugal.

I think the dutch is gonna finish 2nd because they dont have what it takes to beat spain.I dont think the dutch have much scoring power.Cause they suckkk. I was just joking about how C.Ronaldo is overrated.Hes actually really skilled and could run by me with his legs tied behind his head.

GOOOOOOOOO Spain

They should have beat Germany today! They totally out hustled Germany but just couldn't find the back of the net. They will be European Champions in 2012

ay jonny it looks like ur team is out and that portugal sucks

ay jonny it looks like ur team is out boo-hoo

I do not know how old most of the people are that write these comments BUT I do believe they should be spending more time learning how to write and spell before making these comments , please don't be offended BUT for GOD'S sake learn your english.Again I am sorry if I have offended anyone but you won't have any chance in this society if you can't speak , read AND write english the proper way.

JOE SHUT UP YOU OBVIOUSELY DONT KNOW NOTHING ABOUT REAL FOOTBALL.

JOE SHUT UP YOU OBVIOUSELY DONT KNOW NOTHING ABOUT REAL FOOTBALL.

oh yeah jonasbrotherssuck! then why did germany win that game did you even watch?

i think no i konw that cristaino ronaldo is the best soccer player ever...........and i think he should have gone 2 real maried

ronaldo is so overrated and not straight! he is so full of himself! Dan K., most very good players have won just as much and more awards.

yeah Alex, it's not gonna happen. Ronaldo is a great player, but he's not a good leader.

go spain they winn all the way yeahhhhhhhhhh

ok, I will admit that C. Ronaldo is one of the greatest the world of futbol has to offer,
but we have to remember that the greatest player aint jack with out the greatest team.
Portugal IS the greatest team...... and Russ or wateva ur name wuz..... Do u even watch futbol?
1st: England didnt make it
2nd: POrtugal wouldnt even go against France cuz they failed in there group
3rd: Holland?!?!?!?! R U KIDDING ME?!?!?!dey suck
VIVA PORTUGAL!!!
e VIVA O SPORTING!!!
and England can..... TRY and qualify next time
HAHA!!!

hey, most of you seem to know what your talking about, but look who is still in it!!! spain/russia and germay. yeah portugal is good but they religh on C.ronaldo WAYYYY to much!!! the game is played 11 v. 11, not with just one man! and what about germany? the have a great line up, they have more than just one superstar, and they play together! like when podolski found schweinsteiger!?! dont you think they deserve some recongnition. and lets not forget spain. they are the same way as germany!! lots of players with big names!!! everyone is looking to villa and torres, what about the mid's??? like xavi, inesta, fabregas, and silva. they are HUGE play-makers that gave villa and torres their chances!!! dont forget about the power house defense, puyol, ramos, and caillas!! spain is loaded but to win they have to play together and work off of each others strengths! and russia, they have the same thing portugal has, one or two good players, but the reason they are still in is because they play together!!! they dont always give the ball to pavluchenko 24/7, they do it when they need to and he takes advanatge of that! so to all you know-nothings, this is what i see in the euro, some really great teams, and some that go from good to great.

true but dont forget about senna in the midfield for spain. hes a monster in there..

fitzy sokker you know what your talking about. Spain has a great group of star quality players, and I see them winning the whole tournament. They are playing great soccer as a team. Viva Espana!!!!

Go Cristiano Ronaldo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

alex fugerson man u a head coah said that cristiano ronaldo of portugal was not gone to real mardrid og spain. englash press and newpapers told that it was a killng cristiano ronaldo best player of man u wolrd soccer club in england. all most of world soccer fans wish to go real mardrid of big spain soccer club for himself and for his native country. in the future how does will be ronaldo problems at man u team? and will us vote to ronlado he go to real mardrid or not ? portugal peoples and soccer fans want to go real mardrid for bast playing for him.
england soccer club team give a lot of money for ronaldo but real mardrid will give a lot of money to two times for man u. and he will go to real mardrid of big world soccer stage.

let me see a hero of cristano ronaldo will going to not going ? where is ? spain of big pro soccer club stage in the world, or continuely playing at man u of enlish premire league? portugal`s hero will choice the team for his soccer destiny. coming soon. it is coming new season of epl, la liga. what a hero of portugal`s choice is ?

this year at august in bejing olympic world soccer teams are Republica de Argentina Federative Republic of Brazil of south america Republic of Cameroon Republic of Cote d’Ivoire of africa Kingdom of the Netherlands Kingdom of Belgium Italian Republic servia of europe People's Republic of China Commonwealth of Australia South Korea japan of asia as we know all of world soccer is ended to this summer but in beijing olympic wait to world soccer fans we predict to winner of golden prize all most of people predict Federative Republic of Brazil Republica de Argentina will be winner of bejing olympic maybe we agree to we said and predicted anyway go to see bejing olympic this last summer soccer festival.

ronaldhinio is the best

c.ronaldo is the best

i love ronaldo hes sick beter than beckham

ronaldo is number one

Just in case you Portugal fans didnt notice...
Cristiano doesnt play the same w/ Portugal as he does w/ Manchester,i mean hes a great player and all but wen it comes to international games he doesnt stand out as much as he does with Manchester.For example,did he really do much in the world cup or in the eruo 08? And the same thing goes for Cesc Fabregas from Spain.....Spain all the way!

CRISTIANO RONALDO ARE COOL

YES I AM YOUR FAN NUMBER ONE
YOU ARE THE NUMBER ONE

YOU ARE THE BEST

OF LG

cristanio ronaldo is the best player in the team

i love him

ronaldo's sick? better get him a doctor!

ronaldo is crazy overated on an international level he is the best in club play but has no place on the portugal roster and until he moves from manchester (to madrid) he will always be the best individual and never the best for his team.. because if he did the best for his team and not himself.. his name would be xavi..

i am from mexico but i like the way ronaldo he can totaly kill england

i absolutly love chrisiano ronaldo, if he ever goes 2 Real Madrid then that would be the stupidest move ever.... And jonny u think u know it all and ya dont!!!!! how old r u???

Ronaldo is the best of the best

C ronaldo is second best player right now i think messi should be first he has had so much injuries and he is so young but all that talent wow 3rd best is defenantly Ribery

c ronaldo is a very advanced player

Portugal v.s. Spain in fianll. C.Ronaldo v.s.F.Torres.What a match.My hope is for Portugal!!!!!!!!!

I agree that would be a fantastic game but, my friend, spain would win that game.

Cristano Ronaldo is The BEST-SUPER- PLAYER and damm is going 2 b a great game

C.Ronaldo should have his own shoe

Rolnado how do you o all tthose moves . i play soccer and I lov it .i think PORTUGAL IS SO going to win . ROLNALDO you rock

cristiano ronaldo is a really good player but the team needs to win somthing

CRISTIANO RONALDO IS THE BEST PLAYER.

C.Ronaldo all the way nanis got nothin and is tryin to be like C.Ronaldo a little too much, and he cant (:-)

Nani is not smart he is not good

Manchester United 7 C.Ronaldo rules and can beat ronaldinho the zombie any day

C.Ronaldo is the best u cant compare other players to him

C.Ronaldo wiil make Machester win the Champions leuge again

I know England will win the 2008 champians Leuge

cristiano is a ballerina. he won olympic gold for portugal... but for diving, haha. brazil should be honorarily allowed to paly in euro, since they whip south america effortlessly.

C.Ranldo is the best and he is cute but the best thing about him is that his his passion for soccer.He can scoer a gaol from like 2 miles away.And his foot work omg he like the best at doing what he does best.... play soccer.. go portugal and go Ranaldo you can win tadays game come on

portugal jika berlatih atau membeli pelatih carilah yang bisa melatih dengan baik dan salah satunya penjaga gawang dan linih belakang maupun depan

C.Ronado very very good player in the WORLD... And BEST M U CHEPION..

c.ronaldo is the best

alright I know everyone reading this is completely in love with c. ronaldo and portugal and i agree that ronaldo has tons of skill and is one of the best in the world, but he needs to learn how to pass. it's all about Totti the best playmaker in the world for me. FORZA ROMA

ricardo quaresma and cristiano ronaldo are the heads of the portugal team. They are going to take portugal to the final in the world cup of 2010 and become champions. But the coach hads to put to play both of them togheter to win and make magic.
