U20 NATIONAL TEAM-

[Rui Da Silva]

Once again Portugal only had them selves to blame for losing out in Euro 2006.

They should have held on to beat Turkey but did not and even though they Tie Spain ( Spain B team ) The coach made some big mistakes.

1) Paulo Ferriera insead of Tavares in the first game vs Scotland

2) David Ciade only playing 40 mins in whole tournement horrible just hoorible coaching

[Super Pibe #7]

i might go to canada and see a few games.especially since i've got some relatives there

i will post the highlights later

[jec1]

Yep, But they still advance to the Fifa World Cup Under 20 Games. What pisses me off was there defence. With the exception of Marques, The backline looked Fragile and missing.

Is Diniz Experienced in Coaching the Youth level? I dunnot. But David Caiado is a really Good Player if Given the opportunity. Being used as a sub isn't Gonna Cut it with me.

Your right Rui, We lost our chances. But Spain was a better team this tourney and the reason is they were well prepared and Focused.

[jec1]

MY TOP 4 PORTUGUESE PLAYERS:

1.BRUNO GAMA ( His experience and leadership was there)
2.DIOGO TAVARES ( The kid can play, A Good Sporting Player)
3.ANDRE MARQUES ( Asolid Defender who did his Job)
4.HELDER BARBOSA ( He played well when Given the chance)

[Frank Cunha]

one thing to take consideration we didn't peak to soon, so expect us to to better in the world cup

do you guys know at what time of the year?

congratulations to Scotland they beat Turkey and they moved on

Look at the Fifa World Cup Under 20 Section. It tells you all the info you need, Plus you can buy tickers. I'm sure you can make travel arrangments From NY to Toronto. It's being played in Toronto, Ottawas, Montreal, Edmonton and beautiful Vancouver.

I already got tickets For t-dot/Ottawa. Im travelling From Tampa to make reservations Next Summer.

we show a lot promise, we comeback against Scotland when we were down 2-0, we lead 3-1 against Turkey but twice let it get away, the tied 4-4 goal came in the last play, today we tied Spain when they beat Scotland 4-0 and Turkey 5-3

so I'm not going to be down on the kids, I think with time will develop, I expect they get there act together by next year, let's hope Portugal can play at home in Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal, they fans could be a big help for Portugal.

Com a Escócia a vencer a Turquia, Carlos Dinis tudo tentou, até final, para inverter a tendência de empate do encontro, tendo mesmo dado ordem ao central João Pedro, para jogar os últimos minutos como ponta-de-lança.
