Portugal U19

[jec1]

Portugal....but we lost to a team that had a well sounded defence, it wasnt almost impossible to score.

We can't be losing matches to lower ranks teams. We have the better talent, No disrespect to greece but it's true.

Italy are a high youth rank team and lost to Greece
we always putting our boys down, and I can't take it anymore
Italy was luck to beat us on the U 21 on penalties
didn't qualify for the U 20 world cup and U 19 euro finals

our boys are a bunch of heroes, playing competions back to back, and weak at some position because players are playing for a higher national team

our team would be a lot better if we had Coentrao the reason we qualify in the first place, Rui Pedro and Patricio
give this boys a break

I'm not putting them down, I'm putting the federation down who are all a bunch of pricados. All they want to do I make money for themselves, buy strippers, and drink as much liquor as they want.

I don't think Coentrao would've made a difference. You win as a team. you lose as a team.

Judging those scores, even Kazaa beat greece so there is some inconsistency there.

I'm still not convinced because portugal has better talent, so why are we losing?

Like I said, I'm an optimist but the transition is happening now and with the disappointment of the U20 & U21 now this -- It's sad.

Have we won anything the past 4 years?

Coentrao can make a difference, just get him a striker

we have to work on the striker position, its very weak,
also the LF position seems to give us trouble

no but it took 4 years before then to win something

[Frank Cunha]

the lost to Kazakstain the first game, then the beat Bulgaria and Ukraine

in the next round of Elite they beat teams like Sweden 4-0 and Italy 2-0, and remember they only concentrate on this tournament


we had 3 national team to concentrate on

[Frank Cunha]

we lost to Chile, and now Chile my go all the way

and our best changes came when we had 9 players on the field

the kids never gave up

big disappointment was the U 21, they had a bunch of stars and they couldn't do anyting

[Daniel24]

Ok Frank I will calm down.Just let me just say that they are better off with me on the team yes im 17 so I would fit perfectly.Then I could show you the next Eusebio.

[Frank Cunha]

I almost forgot, we also pass on players on the U 21 like Quaresma and C Ronaldo
because we don't want to burn this kids up

C Ronaldo final had a vacation, and well deserve
