Group G - Portugal

Ah, the team to complete the biggest derby in World Cup 2010 football. Brazil vs. Portugal? Yes please.

A good squad team, and everyone seems to feel they are underdogs. Which is always good news - that usually means they'll do quite well. Having the best player in the world always helps too.

Capital City: Lisbon
Captain: Cristiano Ronaldo
Manager: Carlos Quieroz
Star Man: Cristiano Ronaldo - well you could hardly have anyone else?! Not only the best player in the world, but the most expensive too. And if he can't lead his team, no-one can. Without him, Portugal are going out of the tournament.
Group Games: Cote d'Ivoire (15th June); Korea DPR (21st June); Brazil (25th June)
Adam's Prediction: Got to go through, and do well this time around. Until they play Spain in the second round. 2nd in Group G.

Full Squad:
Goalkeepers: Eduardo (Braga), Daniel Fernandes (Iraklis), Beto (Porto) 

Defenders: Miguel (Valencia), Paulo Ferreira (Chelsea), Ricardo Carvalho (Chelsea), Bruno Alves (Porto), Rolando (Porto), Ricardo Costa (Lille), Duda (Malaga), Fabio Coentrao (Benfica) 

Midfielders: Pedro Mendes (Sporting), Pepe (Real Madrid), Tiago (Atletico Madrid), Deco (Chelsea), Raul Meireles (Porto), Miguel Veloso (Sporting) 

Forwards: Simao Sabrosa (Atletico Madrid), Danny (Zenit St Petersburg), Liedson (Sporting), Hugo Almeida (Werder Bremen), Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid), Nani (Manchester United)
