Advantages: Figo, Rui Costa

Disadvantages: Will probably have to play France at some point

Before the tournament started, I was convinced that France or Holland would win. Having watched Portugal against England (heartbreaking), seeing them beat Rumania and then seeing highlights of the beating Germany, I begin to think that Portugal could be the "surprise" winners of this tournament. Any team that contains Luis Figo and Rui Costa must be in with a chance. In light of the "reserve" team that beat Germany, can they really be stopped. OK Germany are poor, and England are a team of bottlers, but Portugal look classy everytime they go forward. Questions have been asked about there defensive ability and their goalkeeper (Baia?) has looked a little suspect at times but, they always look like they will be able to score at least one goal more than whoever they are playing. A team worth watching and Figo is a genius.
