we are gonna field a team with many key absences specially R.Carvalho, Maniche, Miguel.

Still, I think we will be able to beat Ireland if we do our thing.

The team will most likely be:

-----------------Ricardo------------------
P.Ferreira-J.Andrade-Meira-Caneira
------------Costinha-Tiago-------------
------------------Deco--------------------
Ronaldo---------------------------Simao
-----------------Pauleta------------------

I'd rather have Petit in for Costinha but that isn't likely to happen although Costinha has been utter sh*t this season.

i agree. it's time to Petit take Costinha's spot in the line up. But Costinha is one of the Scolari's sacret cows... :rolleyes:

3-2 for us...

Nuno Gomes, Ronaldo and Deco...

Just hope Scolari give some time to Manuel Fernandes, watch out for him! ;)
