Comments on: Zequinha suspended for one year; Mano for three months http://portugal.worldcupblog.org/under-20/zequinha-suspended-for-one-year-mano-for-three-months.html Portugal - World Cup 2010 - South Africa Sun, 07 Mar 2010 21:22:11 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: RK http://portugal.worldcupblog.org/under-20/zequinha-suspended-for-one-year-mano-for-three-months.html/comment-page-2#comment-123262 RK Fri, 21 Dec 2007 20:13:21 +0000 http://portugal.worldcupblog.org/under-20/zequinha-suspended-for-one-year-mano-for-three-months.html#comment-123262 The whole U20 thing was incredibly stupid, and mostly our fault. However, the Chilean team was definitely not innocent, Mano did react to something, and so did the other players. The fact that Chile got into huge trouble in the next game didn't surprise me at all. But the fact is that Mano shouldn't have done that and Zequinha was out of his mind. Then there is Scolari...what the hell was he thinking? It doesn't matter if he is from Brasil, when he is on the sidelines, managing our team, he represents out country, and there was no excuse for what he did in the Serbia game. I'm glad we made the Euro2008. Since June 2006 the image of our country in the footballing world has gone waaaaay downhill, and we must work to change it. It will be hard, the teams are all good, but I know we can do it. Força! The whole U20 thing was incredibly stupid, and mostly our fault.

I don't believe this pathetic country is able to handle any real tough guys.

PT played a very good match against FIN, dispite of the draw. With all the injuries and difficulties, we still made it. Pepe's debut was brilliant + some sort of 3 def, releasing the full-backs (Bosingwa has been brilliant) and allowing the mids ("getting better every day" Veloso and "I didn't eat this morning" Maniche) to go up. 8) England's out... :-) WE’RE THROUGH!

I primarily cover the domestic league but I also discuss the NT during international breaks as well. Plus I'm really, ridiculously good looking. Check the blog at http://portugal.theoffside.com .

But now we are getting spammed as well. I am sorry but someone needs to step up and start writing again. Luis, I have been waiting for tugasblog for over three months, and nothing. I would volunteer myself, but I believe there are much more knowledgeable people on this blog than I. Eric keep your crap off of our blog.

What do you guys think the line up and/or call ups are going to be? Based on the way Almieda is playing, I can't see how any coach wouldn't be starting him. But, I'm afraid that if I had to bet on it, my money says Scolari will be going with his usual. Nuno No Goals will be starting and Almieda may not even get subbed in. Gomes isn't even starting for Benfica! What do you guys think? Well another round of qualifying games coming up. What do you guys think the line up and/or call ups are going to be?
