The Iberian nation are still licking their wounds after being beaten by Greece in the final of Euro 2004, but hopes are high that they can go one better in the world’s biggest tournament.

Ronaldo’s bewitching skills have lit up The Premiership and Internazionale veteran Figo is tipping him to carry his form on into Germany.

“He has been working well and can be one of the stars of the tournament,” said Figo.

“Cristiano is having an incredible career.”

Figo is in the autumn of his career and is hoping to bow out on a high.

“I hope, in 40 years, I will be able to say I once lifted the World Cup,” he added. “We will give it our best chance.

“Our aim is always to make it to the final.”

Wouldn’t it be great to see Figo (at the end of his interantional career) holding up the world cup with Ronaldo (his successor). I getting tingles all over just thinking of it.
