We lack depth in the squad.We have all the players who matter the most though.
Gk- Looks fine. No surprises.
Defence- Ricardo Costa???? I mean after all those mistakes for club and country. He's just growing by age. Carrico would have been a better choice. He is one for the future. I would have loved to see carvalho though :( And we cant trust joa perreira! he lacks experience. Defence - right back = World Class. rolando-average for the national team. Miguel lopes- Surprising but a good call!
Midfield-
Fernandes and Viana should have made it ahead of Ruben Micael and Varela. I mean,look at the class in the bench of Germany's & Netherlands. Sometimes we just need class and not hardworking average players like carlos martins and ruben michael.And varela was totally unecessary. apart from nani and ronaldo we have quaresma. custodio good option to rotate with veloso.
This is going to be quaresma's biggest international tournament and the man has a point to prove to the world. Anyone who looks into his history would know, he could have been among ronaldo and figo, portugal's golden boy. His selfishness and his lack of team spirit has deterred his progress. At porto he earned the repect of the team,fans and the whole of portugal was awarded the league's bets player for 2 years in a row. Then came trouble at inter,where mourinho only wanted to win. He considered quaresma a risk.
At besiktas our Harry potter has had a decent season. Quaresma plays well when the team is centered around him,when he is the heart of the team.They made him the captain and the team won the cup and finished 4th. He still has the pace,skill and more importantly the brain to compete amongst the best. This tournament could be his biggest and last. So I think he deserves to start in 4-3-3 formation with ronaldo as the main striker. This is highly unlikey,but could be an option. Common Ronaldo is obviously the best option when you have to name a striker. Postiga and Almeida are just average strikers and we had no other choice. Portuguese football association should concentrate on youth academies for the future of the team. The U-20 team were runners up the in the euros. As of now,we have trust these 23 players and hope there no injuries to our starting 11. We'll definitely miss carvalho,bosingwa and danny :(
