The hosts will give themselves a good chance of getting very far this
summer. This is surely the last chance for midfield genius Figo to play
in a major international tournament at his peak. Striker Pauleta has a
remarkable goalscoring record at international level. The Portugese like
to play him up front on his own, with Figo and Rui Costa laying on the
chances. To win the championship they will need to organise a solid defence,
otherwise, the likes of Henry and van Nistelrooy will surely punish them.
