Nani showed Scolari he deserved to be in the starting lineup- in the Switzerland 2-0 Portugal euro 2008 game- what do you think?

What did you think of Nani's performance in the Switzerland 2-0 Portugal euro 2008 game

Now that both wingers Simao and Cristiano Ronaldo weren't in the starting lineup, it was Nani's turn to shine. Great 1st half. Out of all the 9 substitutes used in the starting 11, he looked the most determined to score and to show Scolari that he deserved a place with the starting 11.

Portugal's #19 -Nani- was decisive in many ways, on free kicks, on headers, assisting Helder Postiga. He had to switch from left to right in the 1st half with Ricardo Quaresma. I think Nani was the most threatening on the left flank.

Too bad he couldn't finish one of the goal opportunities he had.

Not to mention the bad luck of not getting 2 penalties for


fouls committed on him.

1st half: 27:37- free kick on target, saved by the goalkeeper.

How would you rate Nani in the game?





-If Scolari saw Nani as ready to be in the starting 11- just who's place would he take? What winger? Simao, or Quaresma? Or what forward? Helder Postiga or Hugo Almeida?






Here are 2 more photos of Nani at the game:
