Are we as good as everyone said? |

Jorge, I understand that these players gained experience and people feel they played well.
Granted I didn't see the matches, but have a couple of questions then.
How did the Greek team look?
They must have an outstanding squad. If our boys looked as good as everyone says, the Greeks could be looking at their very own world beaters in a few years. Especially since a federation known for defense, scored the most goals.
Since you say we played so well, can you clarify.
Who was our standout player, Betinho, Burma, Gomes, Martins, etc...?
In goals suffered;
Was Veloso the culprit?
Was it a particular defender getting torched?
Was it the back four?
Was it the lack of cohesiveness of our defense, including mids?
I'm not trying to be a smart ass, but maybe we should temper our expectations. Some people have mentioned these guys should be up with their clubs right away.
And it's not just Portuguese. Like I mentioned, this team was highly regarded by all, which makes the result even more disappointing.
If we played as well as everyone says, and we have the talent everyone says, this squad had no business getting knocked out. I'm definately disappointed and expected more.
