i got a bit scared in the end when everybody hit it! it sounded quite dangerous! :lol:

to follow up the win yesterday i found an interview with Simao :D it's form a swedish site and i translated it on google translator so i hope it's understandable

Portugalredaktionen continues to deliver. Before the European Championships, we have managed to get an exclusive interview with the national team and Atletico Madrid's stars Simão Sabrosa, which among other things, speak out on Portugal's ambitions for the European Championships. Enjoy!

What is expected out before the finals?

We want to win the European Championships, of course. We are here to win and all other objectives would not be fair to the Portuguese people. I hope that the team sees the possibility of a European Championships may mean for each individual player.

What do you think about the popular support you have had in Switzerland now before the European Championships? Apparently, you almost had more support than the host nations.

I was extremely surprised. I knew that there were some "tuga" (Portuguese) in Switzerland, but I never thought we would get such a receipt. I am extremely proud to be Portuguese.

How is the mood in the team? Is it this year we will get to bring the trophy to Portugal?

We are prepared for everything. We have great confidence this time. The national team has always had a good atmosphere in all the championships I have ever attended. We play a lot, and there is always someone who laughs. Trainer, helpers and players, there's always someone joking to it or withdraw any joke at the Portuguese way.

Who do you see as a favorite to win the whole championship?

Italy, I see as favorites, because it is an organized team in all positions. They are strong, and always fight for the titles. History doesn't lie here.

If you compare today's national team with the national team we had at home Championship in 2004? What advantages / disadvantages do you see?

The advantages are that this time we on the pitch have a stronger team mentally this year, we have a collection of players who know what it is like to win titles. We have many players who late 2004 won very much on teh pitch. I believe we have strengthened the defensive with the players that not only are good at the defensive game. In addition, we have this year's best footballer, Cristiano Ronaldo. Disadvantages i won't talk about this close to a championship, talk negative does not give the team any good energy.

Now for a little controversial issue, who do you think will play on top for national team?

Good question! Nuno has the experience, even if he hasn't scored that many goals this season, I think he should start. But Helder has also shown good initiative in practice. But in the end, it is Scolari who choose.

What do you know about the Swedish national team? How far do you think they'll go in the European Championships?

I know, Ibrahimovic and Ljungberg. But then, I am not aware so much about Sweden and the Swedes. I think the Swedes go to 1/16 (I interpret it as the quartz), but then I do not think they are going further.

A final question for us Benfica supporters: When will we see you as captain of Benfica again?

Hard question to answer when I still have a contract with Atletico. After that we shall see.

Yesterday was good, so many chances and Meireles' goal was great. So were Pepe's goals even though the first one was offside, fair enough. The setup for the second goal was great, Ronaldo, Moutinho, Meireles...well well done! :) I know Vik was happy with Joao! ;)
