that they will go into all the matches with the aim of securing three points.
Draws for next year’s prestigious European championships have been announced and Group B looks be the pick of the lot. Seeded alongside each other in battle for supremacy are Portugal, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904, the Netherlands and Denmark.

He also added that no matter what team he came up against, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984 would stand toe-to-toe with them and play for a victory.
“It is not decisive, but it is very important. One thing I am sure will be the 270 minutes in which we play in the eye, whoever the opponent is,” Paulo Bento was quoted as saying.
Portugal play their first match of Euro 2012 against Germany on the 9th of June.
