Portugal (probable): Ricardo, Miguel, Jorge Andrade, Ricardo Carvalho, Nuno Valente, Costinha, Maniche, Luis Figo, Deco, Cristiano Ronaldo, Nuno Gomes.

England (probable): James, G Neville, A Cole, Terry, Campbell; Lampard, Gerrard, Beckham, Scholes; Rooney, Owen.

Portugal and England have met each other once at the European Championship. In 2000, Portugal came back from 2-0 behind to beat England 3-2.
On 12 June 2000 in the Philips Stadium in Eindhoven, England led 2-0 after 18 minutes through goals from Paul Scholes and Steve McManaman. Portugal cancalled those out by half time through Luis Figo and Joćo Pinto. They then went on to win the game courtesy of a Nuno Gomes goal.

Take no notice of Memnoch johhny! Memnoch expects us to say another team when we are asked "who will win Euro 2004"

I believe 84% of Australians said that Australia would win the last Rugby World Cup when polled.

Their words were twisted by the press. What Sven said was "no young player has had such an impact on a tournament since Pele in 1958"

That's not the same as saying he is as good. But at the same time it doesn't make a headline!

Ah, okay then. He's definitely one of the better players so far, but i didn't quite know in what category you could place him. He doesn't have the flair of players like Henry or Bergkamp, nor the technical skills of a Maradona, or a Cruyff. In a way he reminds me a little of Gerd Muller, except more complete. He's like a little tank, that bashes through concrete walls.

[/QUOTE]They where thinking of Rugby (league) i'm sure. You overestimate the game of Rah Rah's popularity down under.
