Portuguese legend, Eusebio is of the opinion that the Portugal squad is good enough to win the Euro 2012 and it is only a matter of time before they assert their dominance in Europe.
Going into the competition, no one really expected Portugal to make it very far, considering the fact that they weren’t being regarded to be one of the more lethal teams out there.
However, with the team now being the first side to make it into the semi finals, everyone has started to acknowledge their threat and some believe that they could actually win the competition.
Eusebio feels that the team has shown more than enough to silence their critics and opponents and hopes for them to continue performing in the same manner, as they make their way all the way to the finals.
When talking about the team and how they have performed so far, Eusebio is reported to have said: "I am a happy man thanks to these players, who played very well"
"They were being persecuted by the press, but we are in the semi-finals now.”
"I would like to thank the players and the technical staff, because I know what they are feeling.”
"After the match, I hugged Luis Figo and tears rolled down my face.”
"We are not yet champions, but who knows? There are only two matches left."
Having finished as runners up in 2004, they will now be looking to do one better then how they ended that year.
The team will now take on the winners of the France vs http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 game and irrelevant to what team joins Portugal in the semi final, the game is bound to be an interesting one.
Both Spain and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 are commendable opponents and Portugal will have a tough fight on their hands to overcome either one of them.
Nonetheless, what http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629. The mercurial forward has finally started to pick up the pace on the international stage and so far he has been the difference maker for the club.
Should he manage to create space and time for himself, then he is bound to hurt whoever the team face off against in the next round of the competition.
