game to take place, in Sweden Oct 11

**jec1** · 10-09-2008, 10:14 PM

I will predict, Ronaldo & Quaresma in the starting line-up! Yannick as the striker and Antunes at LB!

**Frank Cunha** · 10-09-2008, 10:18 PM

I don't know if C Ronaldo will be ready for this game,

Quaresma will get the call

**jec1** · 10-09-2008, 10:24 PM

He says he's back to 80%.... should be ready in the next month!

In addition to Carvalho and possibly Deco, Simao is out as well so it looks like more playing time for either Danny, Duda or Quaresma....
This of course if Queiroz actually uses Ronaldo as a striker.

Simão de baixa três semanas
INTERNACIONAL PORTUGUÊS LESIONADO NO JOELHO DIREITO

Más notícias para o Atlético Madrid e para a Selecção Nacional. A lesão sofrida ontem no jogo com o Getafe vai deixar Simão Sabrosa três semanas fora dos relvados, avança do diário "Marca". No site oficial dos rojiblancos não há referência ao tempo necessário para a recuperação.

Portugal desloca-se a 11 de Outubro à Suécia, em jogo de qualificação para o Mundial'2010. Quatro dias depois, recebe a Albânia.

don't look good for Portugal

Simão falha Suécia
LESIONOU-SE NO JOELHO DIREITO E FICA 3 SEMANAS DE BAIXA

Simão Sabrosa é a mais recente baixa da Selecção Nacional para a jornada dupla com a Suécia e a Albânia de 11 e 15 de Outubro.

O extremo do Atlético Madrid sofreu uma entorse lateral interna de grau dois no joelho direito no jogo de quarta-feira com o Getafe e deve ficar fora dos relvados cerca de três semanas.

Com a lesão de Simão, dobram as dores de cabeça de Carlos Queiroz. O seleccionador já tinha perdido Ricardo Carvalho, lesionado durante o Chelsea-Manchester United, para os dois encontros de Outubro. Deco, em princípio 15 dias de baixa, continua em dúvida, mas Maniche, que também se lesionou com o Getafe, deve recuperar a tempo de integrar as escolhas do técnico.

A huge game for Portugal, we can't afford to lose.

So Simao, Deco, Carvalho and Maniche are all injured.

Great.....

LISBON, Oct 3 (Reuters) - Portugal recalled Cristiano Ronaldo to their squad on Friday for this month's World Cup qualifiers against Sweden and Albania.

"It is great to be back," the Manchester United winger told the Portuguese Soccer Federation's website.

"It is always a great pride representing our country and I work hard and well to contribute to the success of the team," said Ronaldo, just back from ankle surgery.

Portugal visit Group One rivals Sweden on Oct. 11 before hosting Albania four days later.

Coach Carlos Queiroz will be without defender Ricardo Carvalho and midfielder Simao Sabrosa through injury.

Queiroz included Chelsea playmaker Deco in the squad although he has not fully recovered from a thigh injury.

Goalkeepers: Quim (Benfica), Eduardo Carvalho (Braga), Daniel Fernandes (VfL Bochum)

Defenders: Jose Bosingwa (Chelsea), Paulo Ferreira (Chelsea), Fernando Meira (Galatasaray), Bruno Alves (Porto), Pepe (Real Madrid), Vitorino Antunes (Lecce), Miguel (Valencia), Tonel (Sporting)

Forwards: Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United), Nuno Gomes (Benfica), Hugo Almeida (Werder Bremen), Nani (Manchester United), Ricardo Quaresma (Inter Milan)

Sweden's Larsson ruled out off Portugal match
Canadian Press via Yahoo! News Tue, 07 Oct 2008 3:19 PM PDT
STOCKHOLM, Sweden - Striker Henrik Larsson will miss Sweden's World Cup qualifier against Portugal after injuring his right thigh during Tuesday's training session.

**jec1** · 11-10-2008, 07:33 AM

I'd say, Sweden wins 2-1.

Quaresma2020 · 11-10-2008, 07:55 PM

That was Extremly boring football from portugal... Raul Mereiles is horrible lol... The guy could not make a pass if his life depended on it.. Danny should have came in way before he did.. a tie is a tie it's better than a loss.... And CR7 isin't playing like he really can!

**Frank Cunha** · 11-10-2008, 09:29 PM

I didn't watch the game, only listen
but twice they said they missed two penalties against Sweden
just imagine if it was the other way around

also said the Quim made a couple great saves

can somebody recap the game

**SOMOSBENFICA** · 11-10-2008, 10:06 PM

I taped the match on setanta and they will be showing it live at 9:40pm but I will be sleeping due to my son's 6:00am Hockey game...Portugal did their job by getting a point in a very difficult place and stayed within striking distance of the lead pack..Denmark and Sweden will both drop points and I'm pretty sure we will smash the Danes in Copenhagen..

Anybody feel he was rushed too soon?? An ankle ijury is serious business. I sustained the injury back in HS and it takes months to heal, it really is sore. I'm scared he might be a different player.... let's hope he rebounds!

A fair Draw

A tie is a good thing!
