Will be happy that Andrade got injured?

UltraViseu · 05-03-2006, 10:57 PM

Scolari said Andrade will go to the WC anyway. I feel that is just a gesture of solidarity and his place will be give up to the likes of Tonel.

**jec1** · 05-03-2006, 10:59 PM

He must have puked when he heard the news

UltraViseu · 05-03-2006, 11:18 PM

I puked whan I heard the news. I still cant eat anything. My life is over.

**jec1** · 05-03-2006, 11:41 PM

I feel it sinking in now but still I think this is a good opportunity for the young guys to show why they deserve a spot.

Tonel is a good choice but man I wonder how the Portuguese players feel now and it might have affected there pysche.

UltraViseu · 05-03-2006, 11:47 PM

exactly, coulndt have happened to a more nicer guy.

**jec1** · 05-03-2006, 11:53 PM

I always thought Andrade would be the key.

But I think he will give other players to make an impression

**jec1** · 11-03-2006, 12:31 AM

Simple Question just Curious....

I rate him a 8/10.

I think Hes done well getting into players pysche and getting the best out of them and if you ask me a year ago I would rate him a 6.

Plus he seems to have a tough approach with his players and it suits the team.

**Frank Cunha** · 11-03-2006, 12:47 AM

I rate him a 6 of 10

any other Portuguese coach would have done much better in the Euro, you just don't lose a final at home, I hope he learn his lesson.

**jec1** · 11-03-2006, 12:55 AM

Its a team effort and really that Greece game couldve gone either way.

I just hope we play better as a team

simaozinho200 · 11-03-2006, 01:33 AM

10/10 he has done something that no other manager has for portugal he has sent us back to back wc and a final for portugal i think this is going to be the year for portugal

UltraViseu · 11-03-2006, 01:36 AM

5/10 nothing special. anyone can win a wc with brasil, plus losing euro 2004 at home was quite embarassing.

Exactamento,Thats why His run with Portugal is impressive.

I think if he went to England they would be a top 4 team.

I hope we do well at the world cup or I will be pissed.

**z187** · 11-03-2006, 02:19 AM

my current rating is 7/10

he started off badly, Portugal was generally piss poor in the friendlies leading up to EURO 2004....the 3-0 debacle against Spain for example, two loses to Italy, they just didnt look any good going into Euro 2004 (only two good results was 2-1 vs brasil WHEN HE FIRST STARTED and 1-1 England is alrite i guess. He played the wrong team against Greece, Couto? ??? this man didnt even start Carvalho! Rui Jorge playes, then after we lost 2-1 to Greece he changes the team to the one most fans knew was correct and then we suddenly played good but honestly the team chemistry was never the most impressive.
Once we got to the final against Greece it was hard, our teamwork wasnt the greatest but Greece's was and with some luck from God they scored a stupid goal and hanged on to win it.

Since euro 2004 I feel he has done a good job, the teamwork is much better, Portugal is a much better unit then the euro 2004 team IMO. and we qualified for the Worldcup undefeated in a relatively easy group but we did it impressively and in style.

We looked great coming into the World cup, but with Jorge Andrades injury more questions are raised and Im just not looking forward to it all as much but Im confident Portugal will still do better than in 2002.

**jec1** · 11-03-2006, 02:22 AM

Mark my words Portugal will not underestimate any team and look to play there game.

Ultra is right I would like to see Ronaldo complement Pauleta if we are losing a game.
