See the Portugal EURO 2008 team bus! "This coach is driven by the Will to Win"

Did you see the bus of the Portugal team for the EURO 2008? Here's a picture :

Slogan: Este autocarro é movido a Vontade de Vencer (This coach is driven by the Will to Win).

On Thursday, May 29th, there was a 1:49 video clip about the Portugal bus on the rtp sports site. (http://ww1.rtp.pt/desporto/index.php?headline=37&visual=17&article=151163&tema=21&Top-21) online. According to the clip:

  • The national team will use this bus to go to the training sessions and the stadiums. Here's the side of the bus where you can read the slogan.
  • Here's the reporter showing the back of the bus

  • They interviewed the driver of the bus! He's Portuguese. He said he was called up in January. He was offered the chance to drive the Portugal team and he accepted.



I was looking at the buses on the EURO site and here are some my thoughts:

France: Slogan: On vit ensemble, on vibre ensemble (Live together, celebrate together)

Sounds like one for all, all for one.


Germany: Slogan: Deutschland - ein Team - ein Ziel (Germany - one team - one purpose)

This slogan sounds more like soccer.


Greece: Ένα όνειρο μία ομάδα ! (One team one dream!)

And it will stay a dream because I don't think they'll be lucky enough to get to the final a g a i n.


Spain: Pase lo que pase, ESPAÑA SIEMPRE (Whatever happens, SPAIN ALWAYS)

It sounds like they're resigned to now go far enough in the EURO 2008.


Switzerland: Endstation: Wien (Final destination: Vienna)

It's a bit presumptious to assume you'll get to the final unless you're Italy, France, Germany.

Which slogan do you like best?
