I'm with Ricardo on this one. Leaving aside the fact he's in my fantasy football team - Last season, 3rd best central defender in the Premiership behind Terry and Carragher. He's pacy, can pass well, got a good head on him and tackles like a demon. He's better than William Gallas.
Not that I'm saying Gallas is a bad defender, far from it. I'd love it if his rumoured transfer to 'Pool had actually happened. But he's not as good as Carvalho, not by a long shot.
So, me and Carvalho are united in our confusion at the tactics of Jose.If it was just to give Gallas some playing time so he'd stop crying like a big Gallic baby all the time, I'd understand. But (1) He'd have told Carvalho and (2) Jose doesn't pander to player's whiney little protests, good man.
So, I ask you, why has he been dropped? I want clean sheet points. Carvalho, my friend, I must transfer you from my team. But I love Portugal, I have been there many times. You shall be straight back once Jose stops taking the crazy Francophile pills.
In the mean time...make your cases for my team, messers Del Horno/Carragher/Ashley Cole

I've only managed to download one goal of his. It's a thunderous shot from a tight angle.

He rambled about Euro 2004 like a true legend, turning up at the matches and smiling his freakishly wide smile.
If I could go back in time, and watch a true great in their prime, it'd be him, not Pele or Maradona. The videos I've seen of him playing - wow.
I can't wait to see Barcelona vs Valencia in September. I'll be able to say I've seen Ronaldinho (get injured, boyo, and I shall be the first person in the world to wipe that smile off your face), and he'll be remembered as a Pele-scale legend. Maybe more so, because he'll have won more.

Hahaha, really? And I never noticed him :( I always seehim at the Benfica matches though...and I'm sure you all saw him against England in '04.
He's a scout at Benfica. I know this because he's got got awesome coaching stats on FM2005 and the first thing I do each game is recruit him.
he told me to drop Stevie for Liverpool once, though. Big gay African.

He's coaching somewhere now I think. Plus World Soccer had a lengthy interview with him a yearish ago which was pretty interesting. He went pretty deep into how he felt about things in his career at the time, etc.

I've got a picture of me standing next to him. I'm 83.
Edit: I'm not really. Awesome stuff, Euesbio is the man.

Yep, they got Costinha and Maniche in 1 go...forgot for how much but Maniche did cost more. Then I think they bought another 2 Porto players who were usually on the bench.

Ah yes, I love Nuno. I always wonder why Scolari picked Pauleta instead of him in the Euro 2004...it haunts me every night.

Indeed he did, I'm glad you know your facts. I got a picture of me standing next to his statue outside the Stadium of Light.

I hate Pauleta. He never plays for me, it's always the Euro 2002 God that is Nuno Gomes. Or Eusebio, obviously.

Yeah, I got that too from a mate when I said 'We'll need to change his name to the real version from Euserio' when we unlocked him, and he didn't have a clue what I was talking about.
Outscored Pele, people. C'mon. If you went to Portugal saying 'Who is this Euserio chap?' they'd lynch you. And they would be right to do so, he's one of the best strikers the world has ever known.
