Rooney's 5-a-side team

Please tell me how those other nations are better than Portugal.

Or is it just a personal problem you have, after your country has been Portugal's property in the last 2 big tournaments and now you might not even be at Euro 08 to get owned again by the best national team in Europe.

I don't care about England you little ferret. Why do you care so much about a nation who has no £#%&!ing relevance to Manchester United.

Cheated?

And you're right, they haven't won either but they've shown great signs while carrying some passengers, they've had some promising players make the step up in the last 2 years and I won't be too surprised if we see them go all the
way this time.

I don't see too many teams as strong as them either, Spain, very talented but have a #@&%! of a coach. France could be a danger though.

They're also 8th in the fifa world rankings. And every nation I mentioned have got players who match Deco and Carvalho. Easily. Ronaldo is the only exception. Let's not forget their awesome strikeforce.

I don't see any players who can match Deco in his position bar Scholes and Ricardo Carvalho is the strongest defender at Chelsea and top 5 in the world.

Their only weakness is their strikers, Pauleta's retired...Hugo Almeida is too hit and miss while Nuno Gomes is an awful footballer. Moving Ronaldo to the centre could be a option though. Definetly worth trying anyway.

They're a top class striker away from certainties to win the thing imo.


PS. Fifa rankings are a joke.

Rooney didn't pick one portugese in his 5.

Your reason?

Rooney has one of the best football brains in europe.

He still picks no portugese. I think I trust his opinion.

I hope they crash out and give Ronnie a rest next summer.
