ah,portugal,one of the teams that is titled as dark horses of the 2006 world cup.like spain,has good club sides,but lacks the titles at international level.portugal has many good players and skillful ones as well.it is sometimes hard to say after seeing one game,the big matchup will between portugal and mexico.this will decide the winners spot and the runner up spot.once out of the groups,it is down to knockout football,where anything can happen and sometimes usually does.all the best with your team and i hope that they go far.

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!!

No, Brazil will win the world cup this year... I will tell you why?\n\nBrazil won worldcup in 1970 and after that in 1994,\nso if you add up 1970+1994 =3964\n\nArgentina lifted the world cup trophy i 1978 and then 1986 too,\nand 1978+1986 = 3964\n\nGermany were winner of worldcup in 1974 and then 1990,\nSo, 1974 + 1990 = 3964\n\nThe winner of last world cup which was held in 2002 was Brazil and interestingly Brazil has won in 1962 and guess what, 2002 + 1962 = 3964..\n\nSo now if you want to guess the winner of this worldcup then\n3964-2006 = 1958\n\nand who won the world cup in 1958?\n\nits none other that BRAZIL.\n\nMy vote for Brazil....\n\nHurray!!!

Is Luis Figo in that? I f he is then he will win it!!!\nAnd Cristiano Ronaldo to win the best young player award!!\n\nForca Portugal!!

I don't particularly like Cristiano Ronaldo. He's a big suck... but he is talented and I like that he wears his heart on his sleeve. I just wish he would quite acting every time he gets fouled.\n\nHe will probably be able to play the next match vs England on July 1.\n\nAs for Portugal's chances... they've lost a couple of key players because of red cards (Deco & Costinha) and should lose Figo as well if FIFA do the right thing and suspend him for the headbut.\n\nI don't like the English, but I think they will defeat Portugal.

Should be this year but maybe it will be in 2008 because of the world cup interfering. It is every two years

(ELECTRONIC IMAGE) \nThe controversial striker will hope to be on the score sheet there again on July 4, 2004 for the final of Euro 2004, which hosts Portugal will be doing everything to reach.\n\nBorn near Porto in July 1976 he shot to international attention back at Euro 2000 with four magnificent goals and an outburst of rage after the semi-final defeat to France that earned him a seven month ban.\n\nOne of the lasting images of the tournament is of a furious Gomes thrusting his shirt at and jostling the match referee, who had awarded France the penalty from which Zinedine Zidane scored the golden goal winner.\n\nA challenge too far\n\n  \nFiorentina's Portuguese forward Nuno Gomes vies in a UEFA Cup match against Dnipropetrovsk in Florence 27 September 2001. \n  \nEngland goalkeeper David Seaman makes a save in front of Portuguese player Nuno Gomes (L) and Joao pinto 12 June 2000, during the Euro 2000 Group A match Portugal v England at the Philips stadium in Eindhoven. (ELECTRONIC IMAGE) \nHis exploits at Euro 2000, including the winner when Portugal came from 2-0 down against England to win 3-2 and a brilliant strike against France in the semis, earned him a 20 million euros move from Benfica to Italy's Fiorentina.\n\nThe Serie A club were desperate to fill the hole left by the departed Gabriel Batistuta. An unenviable task for anyone.\n\nAfter two seasons and just 14 goals he was transferred back to Benfica. He did however have an Italian Cup winners medal from 2001 to pack in his baggage home.\n\nIn the qualifiers for the 2002 World Cup he scored seven of Portugal's goals, but once out in Asia the Iberians choked, crashing out in the first round.\n\nThe following season with Benfica he helped the capital outfit to second place in the championship, though an ankle injury late in the campaign saw him sidelined for five months.\n\nBut he came back with a typically explosive bang.\n\nAs well as the two goals in his comeback at the inauguration of the new stadium, he grabbed two more in his first competitive match, a Uefa cup win over Norwegian side Molde.\n\nThereby forcing his way back into Luis Felipe Scolari's plans for Euro 2004, he grabbed a hat-trick in the 8-0 slaughter of Kuwait on his return to national duty.\n\nShould Gomes and Paris Saint Germain striker Pauleta come into form during the Euro 2004, Portugal will finally have a strike partnership to match their renowned midfield and a good chance of reaching that Stadium of light final.\n\n\nYOURE IN LUCK, HES NOT MARRIED!!  :-)
