One side on the rise while the other in a slow decline. Since the World Cup campaign in 2002, Turkey have not risen to such heights again. A slow decline has been oberserved. On the half of the pitch, we have the Brazil of Europe. I am going to say this will be a Portugal win based on the fact that they have much more match winners in their ranks. Most of that comes from midfield of course. The portugese side has notoriously lower quality strikers. No legendary Turkish striker Hakan Sukur for this tournament.
Players i want to see
Portugal
Cristiano 'i want to play for real madrid' Ronaldo
We have run out of superlatives for this free scoring (8 during qualifiers) midfielder. He will be captaining his nation in this tourney and once again the eyes of the world will be on him to produce the stuff on the big stage which argably he has not done so as much as is needed.
Ricardo Quaresma and Joao Moutinho
Two playes still based in the Portugese League, they are the creative players of the Portugal team. Both are still young. 24 and 21 respectively.
Jose Bosingwa
The new right back for Chelsea. 25 year old. Wanna see why he is so expensive.
Turkey
hmmm...as i go thru the squad list, i struggle any names that raise my curiosity. Familiar names are Emre, Nihat Kahveci, Sanli Tuncay and Hamit Altintop. But there is no upcoming youngsters that i am looking forward to see.
