Portugal v. Finland
Friendly- February 11, 2009-20:45 local time, 12:45 pm USA Pacific time
Estádio Algarve, Portugal
Hear it live in Portuguese on Antena 1
I'd like Portugal to score at least more than 2 goals and win this game. It will be interesting to see who Prof. Carlos Queiroz picks as the left-back, striker, and attacking midfielder. What will be the lessons he learned from Brazil 6-2 Portugal?

I expect Pepe and Carvalho to be back in the center-defense. Pepe had an embarassing performance in the friendly Brazil 6-2 Portugal. It was not entirely his fault. It was the first game he played after recovering from injury.

However, central defender Bruno Alves just can't stop scoring! In today's Champions League game he scored during a corner-kick in FC Porto 2-0 Arsenal.

Third time- the Portugal team play a game at the Estadio Algarve

Last time Portugal played a game at that stadium was during the Portugal Euro2004. February 18, 2004- friendly Portugal 1-1 England. September 3, 2005 Portugal 6-0 Luxembourg, 2006 World Cup qualifier.

Then Portugal will play its very important qualifier away, in March 28, 2009- Sweden v. Portugal.
