I'm upset that I missed all that Portugal talk.......They're in a world of hurt right now, but they can pull themslves out of it, only because of the two games against Hungary......there is zero reason that Portugal shouldn't beat Hungary twice.....Hungary has 12 of their 13 points from beating Malta and Albania twice......having said that, Portugal only got 4 points from Albania and not 6.......Portugal hasn't played well all campaign and it's hard to imagine a sudden change in play. Queiroz has been next to a disaster.....I would be all for a coaching change before September's games, but I don't see it happening. This team has great talent, but haven't put it together whatsoever.....they havent played a really good game since they beat the Czechs last year at Euro. They're so bad at defending crosses and set plays, it's disgusting. Without doing any research, of the last 15 goals they have surrendered in the last year or so, I would say 10-12 of them have come from a headed cross or a set play(corner/free kick)........


I hope and believe they will surpass Hungary and get that second place and a playoff spot, but I don't know if they can beat whoever they play in the playoffs......they're just not all that good right now.....

Don't get me started on yesterday's friendly with Estonia, that game made me sick.
