Moutinho is not ready for the A team and Tiago should have been in the lineup..Our defense really killed us today and once again we where unable to score a second goal..Portugal need to get Pauleta out of retirement for the next 4 games..

No guys, maybe were not destined to make the euros!

Look at greece now, their on top and playing well -- we need to have chemistry.

I also feel the players are losing hope with scolari's tactics. Time to say good-bye!

What, Moutinho did something wrong or are you just faulting for him for the wind blowing or it raining?

I guess people who wanted 3 wingers on at one time got their answer today.

Portugal tied on a bad goal that Serbian goal was clearly offsides, but Portugal really played bad..Jec is right that Gomes needs to be replace and the anwser is Pauleta who has little playing time at PSG ...Portugal need to beat the three minnows and by watching the way they played the last two games it's not guarenteed.Scolari lost his marbles because he was frustrated with his team..I have no problem with Scolari standing up for one of his players..We need someone to get emotional and light a fire with this team..Scolari is not the blame for the inform of players such as Andrade and Miguel and the injury to the true Portuguese captain Carvalho..They need to bring both Rui Costa and Pauleta out of retirement. This team needs a spark and they are not getting it with Deco..

Scolari is a class character and I'm pretty sure something happen for him to react in that fashion.

You gotta remember Group A is a tough group, we are not playing well when our backline is hurting. I'm convinced once we got fresh, healthy bodies this team will be different.

Ole, Ronaldo had a shitty game today, just not up to par. Deco needs to be sitting on the bench, that's 3 games he;s been playing shite. Moutinho needs time, you just can't throw him in there and expect him to shine. Tiago should play but it's all favortism to scolari.

WE NEED A MIRACLE

How can you condone that, somos?

He's a feckin prick. Your a coach and your suppose to have standards. Now he is suspended for three games I hope they get the U21 to be his replacement.

I have no problem with Moutinho and I'm pretty sure he will be replacing Deco real soon, but bringing in such a young player in such a pressure game is really unfair. Scolari needed to bring in a more defensive minded midfielder late in the game..I have no problem seeing Moutino getting a start over Deco in the next game, but when your team is hanging onto an one goal lead you need a more experience defensive player..

I agree, and we got players like Duda playing very well, Ze Pedro,
what about Pedro Mendes

this are all experience players, we need some new blood

He was trying to protect a hot headed Quaresma from getting into an altercation and that led to the unfortunate incident.
