Portugal Starting XI

Danny needs to play, hes a very good attacking midfielder, and better than carlos martins. Portugal always subs him in as a winger... HES A AM
The way portugal plays now doesn't suit them with Helder Postiga as striker, hes short and they like to cross the ball, they need a target man (Almeida) in there.

Moutinho has been BEASTLY this season.

u know i was playing fifa11 with portugal, and ofcoarse it was a game but what about this formation

-------------------------Eduardo---------------------

Bosingwa--------Alves-----Pepe--------Coentrao

-------------------Meireles---Moutinho----------

---------------------------Martins------------------

Nani-----------------------------------------------Danny

----------------------------CR7-------------------------------

Of course, everyone uses CR7 as striker in Fifa, hes the best forward in the game by far lol.

Danny isn't great on the wing in real life, and CR7 isnt great as a ST in real life either lol. I wish it was like fifa.

Hopefully this is the squad and best starting 11 for Portugal at Euro 2012.

Squad:

GK: Eduardo(Benfica), Mika(Benfica), Rui Patricio(Sporting)

Defenders: Bruno Alves(Zenit), Pepe(Real Madrid), Rolando(Porto), Daniel Carrico(Sporting), Bosingwa(Chelsea), Silvio(Atletico Madrid), Coentrao(Real Madrid), Joao Pereira(Sporting)

Midfielders: Moutinho(Porto), Meireles(Chelsea), Andre Santos(Sporting), Ruben Micael(Zaragoza), Veloso(Genoa), Paulo Machado(Toulouse)

Forwards: Danny(Zenit), Nani(Manchester United), C.Ronaldo (Real Madrid), Hugo Almeida(Besiktas), Varela(Porto), Quaresma(Beskitas)

Starting 11:

Patricio
Bosingwa----Pepe-Rolando/Alves----Coentrao
Moutinho--------Meireles---------------Danny
Nani----------Hugo Almeida---------C.Ronaldo

Squad for Cameroon game.

Goalkeepers: Eduardo (Sporting Braga), Beto (Sevilla), Anthony Lopes (Lyon)

Defenders: Miguel Lopes (Lyon), Joao Pereira (Valencia), Ricardo Costa (Valencia), Pepe (Real Madrid), Fabio Coentrao (Real Madrid), Rolando (Inter), Luis Neto (Zenit), Antunes (Malaga).

Midfielders: Raul Meireles (Fenerbahce), Joao Moutinho (Monaco), Miguel Veloso (Dynamo Kiev), William Carvalho (Sporting), Ruben Amorim (Benfica), Josue (Porto).

Forwards: Rafa (Braga), Ivan Cavaleiro (Benfica), Edinho (Kayseri Erciyesspor), Hugo Almeida (Besiktas), Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid), Silvestre Varela (Porto).

Wait. What happened to Rui Patricio?

Indeed. Isn't Rui Patricio the designated Nr.1?

He is lol

Incredibile not have called Rolando . He played a great year, surely better than Neto or Ricardo Costa. Not even as bencher

Guys check the date for that post I made. It's March 1st squad for a poverty friendly against Cameroon :lol:THIS is the World Cup squad.

Guarda-redes: Rui Patricio, Beto e Eduardo.

Defesas: André Almeida, Bruno Alves, Coentrão, Pepe, João Pereira, Neto e Ricardo Costa

Médios: Moutinho, Miguel Veloso, Raúl Meireles, Rúben Amorim, William Carvalho e Rafa

Avançados: CR7, Éder, Postiga, Hugo Almeida, Nani, Varela e Vieirinha.

Hope Vieirinha gets some minutes.

Anyway I Portugal should be able to put together a good 11. CR's health and fitness atm is probably their biggest concern though.
