Carlos Queiroz called one more player-- Edinho who plays in AEK. Really? This 26-year old beat Postiga and Nuno Gomes to the list? Sure his team won its last game and he scored in it. I had hope that either Postiga or Nuno Gomes would be added to the 21-man list.
It's the first time he's called to the selecção AA. Wouldn't be surprised if Queiroz leaves Almeida on the bench and puts Edinho.
By the way, today the team began to arrive to the training camp at Óbidos, Portugal.
Goalkeeper Eduardo, Goalkeeper Beto, Hugo Almeida and João Moutinho arrived before 21h30. Cristiano Ronaldo, Bosingwa, Nani, Ricardo Carvalho and Tiago arrived later. Daniel Fernandes was the last player to arrive.
