What do you think about the portuguese national team?

I think that they have a pretty good chance this time around, from what I have seen on their qualifying games.  They seem to be a different team than from 4 years ago, more team work and dedication. Quite frankly I'm looking forward to all of Portugal's games. I will definitely be watching and cheering them on.

Portugal is good team, and as Fifa released today its new ranking. Portugal has advanced 2 positions and now figures as 8th. right now I say a legimate contender but small

1. My prevision was Holland66%-Portugal33%. It was a mistake, the teams (in the *played* part of the match) were equivalent. Both goalkeeper had an extra-work and only Portuguese had scored, so they deserve victory.\n2. Really strange to keep V.N. in bench! From the replacement with Van Der Vaarts going in, Holland showed a better playing... Maybe V.N. was injured? or in bad fitness? Only Van Basten knows... it seems its mistake. Scolari was wrong too: he need to remove Costinha before the red, he's got a yellow (wich need to be a red), and had done another critical foul wich deserved almost another yellow...\nI would place a point 3:\nReferee was amazing, isn't he? The worst referee i've seen in the tournament

I think they are a good team but I don´t think that they would come to the final.\nBut: Nobody thought that teams like Croatia and Turkey would ever come to the 3rd place at the World Cup, and they did - or that Greece would become European Champion.\nSo ... problably they will win the World Cup.

Just not good enough to match the higher International standard, as defeats to Portugal and Argentina showed.\n\nThe Confed Cup is a friendly tournament, this is the REAL thing.

I'd like Germany to win.But considering their last game I don't think they will win.France....?Nope.But if to think..........Probably.If they won in Brazil...........They can win.But unfortunately all countries I liked(except Germany) finished their games. I'm not sure that Portugal or Italy will win.So we'll see..

So, root for Portugal Saturday. I hate the English team too, they think they're superior (like most English do). But they are gonna eat the grass next Saturday. So they wanted Figo out, heh? Well Figo will be scoring TWICE on their goal, mark my words!!

1.It's soccer not football.\n\n2.It's Portugal not porteghal.\n\n3.It's Brazil not brasil (however, they do spell it that way there though)\n\n4.You might think that Portugal has a greater chance to win this year because of their coach,(Felipão)who is Brazilian.If not you're probably thinking about Cristiano Ronaldo,Rui Costa,Miguel e simão.Other than that....Well I'm not a mind reader!

I do with all my heart., though am an English fan. Netherlands is my next favourite team. Though they are'nt good today, it's break my heart to see them out.

Nice choice with italy. I've always had a soft spot for them and would want them to do well. I'm for brazil and am pretty satisfied with them as well. That is a good question though, I'm interested to see the answers

I think beckham would make a better model than a football player...Figo is much better than him and even hardworking. \nTough yesterdays match..there were loads of confusion...Portugal made a great performance and as Scolari said..he never saw a team who worked so hard for Portugal...for me..if portugal goes to the semi-finals...in my heart they already won the world cup. Portuguese people may not be the best but they really have that big heart which we all love.\n\nEngland people..lets just face it...dont pretend you're the best untill we end that match.\n\nFORCA PORTUGAL!!!! OLE OLE OLE!

Yes or No. As a Brazilan supporter I want to see them as a Champion. But as a football fan I don't want. Because I want new one like England, Holland and it will be better if any African country will champion. My good wishes to all African Countries. Be cheers for them.

after dunga took over brazil as their new coach i now have more confidence in them..their disasterous performance during the world cup is nowhere compared to the new brazil team..their performance have been great and enjoyable to watch since dunga took over..and the fact that the new team is built around relatively young players i have great confidence that this new brazil team can go as far as winning the next world cup in 2010.. \n\nthe newly-crowned world champion, italy, however hasn't look good enough lately to claim their title as the new world cup champion..sum say it's the new coach to blame but i prefer to stay silent..whatever it is if they failed to win or even qualify for euro 2008 it might tarnish their world cup glory..\n\nfrance is now a new team since the world cup ended..the french maestro zinedine zidane is no longer with them to inspire and to help the team reach it's glory..most ppl have doubts that the new france can go as far as the old france did..but recent performances both at international and club level might as well proved the doubters wrong..   \n\ngermany has built a new young and talented team around their last coach juergen klinsmann..they have shown the world how good they were during the world cup..when klinsmann left the building many doubt joachim lowe can do the job as good as klinsmann did it..but germany has been on par and up to everyone's level of expectations since then..like france, they too might just proved the doubters wrong..\n\nall in all..i have to say brazil is the team to beat at the moment..

Will you ppl stop asking this question already but you know what, for the sake of the 2 points i will juts copy and paste my previous answer. Here, read up:\n\nGermany dude, lets look at this way- \nYes, Brazil is a great team. \nYes, last we checked Argentina did scored 6 goals. \nYes, sumhow Spain have buck up and playing better than what is expected and so on and so forth.\n\nNow things to support my reason that Germany's gona this one home this year is coz:\n1] Lets not forget that they are a great team and that they have won the WC a couple of times b4, though they're not as stylish as Brazil or as talented as Argentina, they are good at what they do. And at this moment im writing now, Germany have proven themselves a force to be wreckened with.\n2] Back in 2002, Brazil dissapoint them big time when they took away the Cup of Life. They wanted that Cup to make the fact that hosting this year all the more sweeter so this time around, not only do they need to win the Cup to prove themselves but its also a matter or personal vendetta.\n3] They're playing at home, no matter how determined the other teams are, multiply that by a 100 or so and thats Germany current determination level. Now its not about winning, its about pride. National pride\n4] They have Miraslav Klose, yes a blip in the radar when compared to the likes of the giants- Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, etc but lets not forget ppl that he did scored the most goals so far and ranked top five for goal-scorers the last WC. as in the game of Football, skills only take u that far but the goals will determined it in the end and Klose have got what it takes

Portugal\nEngland is not that good\nheres a different way to look at it from whats been mentioned\nargentina was the second world cup favorite, before their game against mexico in the round of 16, very exciting game, and argentina almost lost.  and portugal kicked butt against mexico.\nalthough they won't have deco, i think they'll do fine, they did fine after deco left, not allowing holland to score.  and holland also tied w/ argentina awhile back.  it was 0-0 but still. \nGO PORTUGAL!!!!! \nYOUR GOIN DOWN ENGLAND!!!
