So what's the Portugal national team up to for the UEFA EURO 2008?
- Saturday, May 31
Friendly Portugal 2 - 0 Georgia
Today the Portugal team had the friendly Portugal- Georgia. It finished an hour ago. Victory 2 nil. A penalty scored by Simao Sabrosa. Did you see it? I heard it live on the radio online.
Afternoon- free time, no team training
The 23 players are free until tomorrow.
In fact, during the friendly Portugal 2 - 0 Georgia. 3 of the players that Scolari substituted for the 2nd half left the Estadio Do Fontelo during halftime.
Talk about being in a hurry. Among them were Cristiano Ronaldo, Deco and Simao Sabrosa. It's the last evening the team will be in Viseu, Portugal training for the UEFA EURO 2008.
