Talk:Portugal national football team

Statistics

Spanish Wikipedia has 3-3 as the scoreline in the first international, and 8-0 as the worst defeat by England. Then German Wikipedia has 3-1 as the first international scoreline, but 8-0 as the worst defeat. Can a definitive answer be found? Portugal were defeated 10-0 by England in 1947

National colours

Am I the only one seeing the home and away colours of the national team in gray? The green and yellow lines are ok, but the rest of the shirt is gray, instead of dark red. Can anyone solve this please? Joaopais 02:43, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

It is, indeed, black (or, at least, a very dark gray—which is what is in the kit; black is #000000 and we have #111111). Take a look at the FPF website. :) —Rotring 18:33, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

I think it is a Internet Explorer / Mozilla compatibility problem - just like the Danish national football team kits which also have grey colours. Poulsen 18:54, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

What can we do to solve this? I'm going to revert to the all-red/all-black kits, meanwhile. Joaopais 01:21, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Yes, IE fucks it all up, because it does not support PNG transparency. Solution: GIFs. --Rotring 19:51, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Why cant this page be protected

Firstly thanks to everyone that has worked dilligently to keep the content of this page free of edits by morons today. The pages for Wayne Rooney and Ronaldo are semi protected so why the hell can't this page also be semi protected. The vandalism surely must warrant it? Why can those pages get a semi protect and this page not? Adam777 22:32, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Request it at WP:RFPP. -- Steel 22:34, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

I put in the request at RFP two days ago; Adam777 replied to it. The request is now apparently gone and not listed as either fulfilled or denied. Gimmetrow 23:05, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

When Adam777 replied to it, the bot which clears furfilled requests thought that an admin had responded and action had been taken, see here. Submit another request. -- Steel 23:22, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Someone really needs to fix this page. I don't know if I have the rights (or the correct knowledge) to do so. Some hooligan really got hold of it.--Horsenbuggy 17:11, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Corrections to be made, please

This sentence in the first section should note that it is the *2030 World Cup* that is being referenced: “Portugal is set to co-host the 2030 edition when it was granted host status alongside Morocco and Spain.” — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.29.182.179 (talk) 16:07, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

• The nickname is Quinas (the five shields on the flag.
• The home and away colors are Very Wrong. Its all red and all black, respectively, 134.93.181.159 10:04, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Portugal did play quite badly in the Semi-Final, but regardless of who plays better or worse, the ref did a crappy job. There were many fouls done by the french were were completely ignored. Cristiano Ronaldo's dive would've been the move for a header but he was pushed. It is impossible to jump straight up in the air and then fly forwards unless you're strapped to a jetpack. Even if Portugal would've lost anyway they deserved a fair game.

I've saw a lot of anti-portuguese feelings on this page before. Surely some hooligan (maybe wainr rooney :)) did it. There are two reasons for this type of hate: 1. Portugal knock England out of the World Cup. 2. Portugal is a latin country. SOME (not all) English hate Latins. Congratulations to the English people that are noble enough not to vandalize this page, and to put it in order.

---

I hope I'm in the right area to make these observations:

• 1984 was NOT the first time Portugal entered the Euros. In 1960 the beat East Germany in round one and went out in the quarters to Serbia. In 1964, Bulgaria knocked them out in the first round in a replay. In 1968, 1972, 1976 and 1980 they failed to get out of the (new approach) qualifying groups.

Starting Lineup and formation

Wouldn't it be better to have a more representative lineup of the squad, other than the Germany 3rd place match? Ricardo Costa never plays on the starting 11, Miguel is usually prefered to Paulo Ferreira, Pauleta is now retiring... Maybe if we're removing retiring players we should wait for the Euro 2008 qualifiers though. --Noikeee 16:55, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Article Protection

I only ask that Mr. Rocha respects that others might have a different opinion. He claims that the admission by Ricardo Carvalho that he touched Henry is proof that it was a foul - even if the touch was never enough to trip Henry, or to stop him from getting to the ball. But then he insists that another touch, Cristiano Ronaldo being pushed from behind and changing trajectory in middle jump, is just a dive. Besides the contradicting views, that is his opinion, and also (unfortunately) the opinion of the referee of the game. It isn't mine, and it isn't the opinion of most Portuguese supporters (and even other nationals have admitted both are disputed). I mostly don't agree with Mr. Rocha imposing his opinion as the ultimate truth, and not admitting he doesn't own the truth, he is just expressing his views. Also, about his attacks on my anonymous posting, I didn't know it had been forbidden in Wikipedia's charter. After all, it's very easy to know my ip, so it isn't truly anonymous (even if this IP is being used by over a 1000 others). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 195.234.134.115 (talk) 15:48, 14 December 2006 (UTC).

Mr Anoymous is untitled to his opinions, but not to his own facts. Besides, since Mr. Anonymous posting history consists mainly of slandering his pet hate FC Porto and whoever is connected to it, and calling it "fact", I don't have a lot of respect for his (or her) "opinions". In fact, I've none. I've also not a lot of pacience to bad losers in general, and I'm afraid my country is full of them. Mr. Anonymous would like Portugal to win the cup, so do I. But they were beaten by a better team, fair and square, and to say it doesn't make me less Portuguese, and I won't take lessons in Portugueseness from either Mr. Anonymous, Mr. Scolari or Mr. Madaíl. To claim that I celebrated the Greek victory with champagne is nothing more than the usual slander coming from Mr. Anonymous.

Now, for facts: Ricardo Carvalho's foul did exist (and I notice that Mr. Anonymous started by saying the touch didn't even exist, and only changed opinion when it was pointed out that Ricardo Carvalho himself admited the foul; only then did Mr. Anonymous change his tone to "the foul existed but it was not enough"). It was inside the area. Therefore, it was a penalty. Henry got the most of it? Of course he did, but that doesn't change the fact the foul existed. As for Cristiano Ronaldo, he is an excellent player. That's the reason why I wanted to kick him: for spending to much time diving --(he's not that good at it) instead of playing (he's good at that). And to touch a player that he is already falling (as the French defender did) is not a foul. In short, the referee got it right, Mr. Anonymous got it wrong. --Explendido Rocha 15:57, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Strange how you keep confusing facts with your interpretation of them, and keep denying that others might have a different opinion. I won't even answer your insults, there's no point. I apologized for mine already, even if they were provoked by yours.

Fact: Ricardo Carvalho admitted touching Henry. I didn't believe it until I read his interview, as it is not visible in the video. I admitted I was wrong. A touch isn't the same as a foul, even if it is inside the area - if it were so, every corner kick would be followed by a penalty. But I guess you won't agree with me on this too.

My opinion: The touch wasn't enough to trip Henry. He dived.

Your opinion: it was enough to trip Henry, but Henry "got the most of it".

Conclusion: we don't agree, it's a dispute to who is right. More people agree with me, as we can see from the postings here. Also obviously more people agree with you, including the referee.

Final conclusion: it's a disputed penalty. Nobody agrees.

Fact: Cristiano Ronaldo is touched when jumping, and changes trajectory in mid-air.

My opinion: He was pushed from behind, as can be seen by his trajectory changing.

Your opinion: he was touched when "he is already falling". I've never seen someone falling upwards, but you're free to have that opinion. Again, we have a dispute here, and some people side with me, some side with you.

You assume your opinions are facts. Others have not, and both fouls were considered disputed until you edited this page and entered a edit war with me.

My opinion: Your insults and intolerant attitude are just to try to provoke me into another round of insults and a edit war.

Since you didn't even consider my arguments, and just went ahead and edited the page to follow your opinion and your interpretation of the facts, I feel that might just be your game, to see that you can get this page to be semi-protected so I'll have to register to edit it (then what is your plan after that, ban my login for not agreeing with you?). I won't register until the wikipedia charter bans anonymous postings. I won't even justify or explain why. I'll just think what am I going to do next, either let your presumptuous attitude win, or try and edit back the page and hope you'll be reasonable. 195.234.134.115 16:27, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Suggestion: just abid to WP:V and WP:RS. Any disputed content on Wikipedia can be removed if no sources are provided to back it. Also, please sign all your comments, the discussion gets hard to follow otherwise. And last but not least, please always keep a cool head and be WP:CIVIL. I'm monitoring this article and will re-protected it if the edit war restarts so please try to settle your differences here. Thank you. Regards.--Húsönd 17:26, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

I don't think there's any point. It's a matter of faith for Mr. Anonymous, and faith can't be discussed. My version is perfectly correct - the penalty is contested by some Portuguese; I've checked sources in different languages, and not even Brazilian sources, who would be pro-Scolari, present that penalty as contested. That Ricardo Carvalho admitted is a fact. And in those circunstances there aren't small fouls and big fouls. There are penalties, and nobody but some Portuguese who are the very definition of bad loser contest it.

As to Cristiano Ronaldo, again, my version is perfectly correct; nobody but some Portuguese (and, in this case, I doubt they are even a majority) thinks that it was anything else but a dive, but perhaps Mr. Anonymous is right and Cristiano Ronaldo would manage to violate some of the laws of physics. Again, what shall we add? Mr. Anonymous afirmation that Ronaldo was pushed? He went down in the box, all right, but to say that he was pushed is a strong contention, not validated by fact.

So, what we have: Mr. Anonymous wants the world to think that Portugal was robbed. He also probably thinks that the referre hit João Pinto's fist with his belly. Mr. Anonymous tries to present it as a matter of opinion, as in "my opinion is that the moon is made of green cheese". It is not, it is a matter of fact. But it is well know the facts of that game have a anti-Portuguese bias.

Finally, if Mr. Anonymous wants to play the virgin and feel insulted, I couldn't care less. Perhaps he should dedicate himself to write less slander and more valid contributions - he is a poster boy for why anonymous contributions shouldn't be allowed. --Explendido Rocha 18:29, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

It's always nice to have a offer to dialog received in such a friendly way. Let's see if I understand Mr. Rocha's points:

If he doesn't agree, what I'm saying is a matter of faith;

Those who don't agree with him are "the very definition of bad loser";

If Henry is touched and "makes the best of it" it's a penalty, if Ronaldo is touched and changes direction in mid-jump it's a dive;

It's ok to lie and claim that Ricardo Carvalho admitted a foul, when he just admitted touching Henry, if that helps making a point; check the interview he linked for what Ricardo Carvalho said.

If he agrees, it's a fact, if not, it's opinion - when what we are arguing about are interpretations of specific facts; neither he or me can give what was the force applied on Cristiano and if it was enough to make him fall, or prove that Henry could have kept going if he didn't "make the best of it" when Ricardo Carvalho touched him; we can only interpret what we saw on the tv (or at the stadium);

It's ok to attack other's character in order to discredit their point of view;

Only virgins feel insulted when called slanderers or when having their opinions dismissed with a plain "because I say so".

He's a prolific poster and I'm not, so he's obviously right and I'm wrong;

Anonymous writers (and probably anyone else he doesn't agree with) shouldn't be allowed to contribute to the wikipedia;

Also, it's implied from this that previous editors of this page who agreed that both decisions were disputed are obviously "bad losers" and acting out of faith.

You know what I feel worst about? Not that he tries to blanket that the referee had different criteria for Portuguese and for French at that game. What I don't like at all is that one of my country representatives here is such a conceived, presumptuous individual that thinks any other Portuguese that doesn't agree with him is a bad loser. 195.234.134.115 09:38, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

We lost. I got over it, you should too. --Explendido Rocha 11:23, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

If by getting over it you mean getting in a edit war with whomever you don't agree, ok. A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you too. 195.234.134.115 14:23, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Stop playing the virgin, you aren't good at it. --Explendido Rocha 10:20, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Keep abiding to WP:CIVIL, you're really good at it. 195.234.134.115 16:36, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm only civil to civilized people. If you are offended, good. --Explendido Rocha 19:54, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

You see, that is another difference between you and me; besides the fact that I have a life and a job and don't have all the free time you have to contribute to the wikipedia, I try to be civil to everyone, even lying bastards who pretend that touching is the same as hitting or tripping someone. It takes someone as arrogant as you to make me lose my temper, as can be seen by all this exchange. But you can gloat now, your rudeness, your arrogant ways and your distortion of the facts to suit your view of the world have convinced me to leave. You won, keep your wikipedia and have lots of fun. 195.234.134.115 16:00, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Biggest Defeat

September 27, 1953, Vienna, Austria - Austria 9 - 1 Portugal (1954 FIFA World Cup qualification Group 5) Wouldn't this be considered Portugal's biggest defeat or at least be tied with the current "Portugal 2 - 8 England" stated? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.64.201.157 (talk • contribs). at 2007-03-10T21:21:41

The biggest defeat is a 0-10 with England (not 2-8) and someone corrected that already. Still that was a friendly match and I do believe that the largest competitive match defeat should be included. Still that is, I think, a 9-0 at Spain, not the 9-1 at Austria. Done that. - Nabla 21:56, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

There is no need for differentiating competitive and friendly matches, please see Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/National teams for further details. Martin tamb 03:38, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

OK, and thanks for the link. Anyway I see nothing there stating neither that friendlies should or should not be differentiated from competitive matches. Still it is somehow implied in the template. I still think they are worth differentiating, but I'll raise the issue there then. Enjoy! - Nabla 15:28, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Captain

Recently, I changed the captain on the infobox from Cristiano Ronaldo into Jorge Andrade. Here's my reason for the changes:

After the international retirement of Luis Figo on July 2006, Costinha was appointed captain and captained Portugal for 4 matches in September and October 2006. He is absent on November 2006 match and Nuno Gomes was stand-in captain on that match. On February 2007, Cristiano Ronaldo was the captain for a friendly match, but according to this report, Luiz Felipe Scolari said that he only became captain as a gesture to the late Carlos Silva (vice-president of Portuguese FA). Then on March 2007 matches, Jorge Andrade captained the team, while Ronaldo also playing. Since Costinha haven't been called up since October 2006 for technical reason (he did not has injuries that prevent him for being called up), and Andrade seems to be certain in starting line-up when fit (he just return to the national team in November 2006 after a long injury layoff), I would say Andrade is first on the captain list, with probably Ronaldo and Nuno Gomes as vice-captain.

Feel free to comment on my opinion here. Martin tamb 09:16, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Kuwait match

I have read recent reports like this that suggest Portugal did not play against Kuwait. Instead they played a Kuwaiti club Al Salmiya Club. If this is true, the caps from this game were not included since FIFA rules does not consider friendly against club side as an official match. However, Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) official website did register the players' caps from this game. Also from seeing the Kuwait lineup from this page, I was pretty sure that this is not their national team, because Bashar Abdullah of Kuwait has already retired from international football. This issue has happen before when Brazil national football team came to Kuwait to play Al Kuwait Kaifan, and the caps from that match was not counted. So could we delete players' caps from that match? Martin tamb 19:43, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

I can't post sources for this, but it is said that FIFA sanctioned this game as an official international friendly. The Kuwait football federation delegated the task of international representation to Al Salmiya. Parutakupiu ^{talk || contribs} 20:32, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Okay, thanks for clearing things up. Yeah I also see that the match is listed in FIFA Men's National Team Fixtures and Results list and also FPF counts those caps. So I think you're right. Martin tamb 17:40, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Kits

A user with the IP address 68.209.106.107 reverted my edit of the away kit (all white) to white shirts, white shorts and green socks. This is incorrect, FPF revealed the new away kit in November 2007 prior to the Euro 2008 qualifier in Armenia, and has white socks.

Picture taken from GettyImages

I have now reverted this edit. In addition this picture has been leaked on the Internet of the supposed new home shirt:_

Home shirt leaked pic

However I have not yet changed the kit information on the article until we have official confirmation of this kit's release - the shorts and socks have not yet been shown but I guess the shorts would be green, and the socks would be red, just like a number of previous Portugal kits. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jonzi9 (talk • contribs) 21:26, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Coaches

To follow the pattern used in entries about other national teams this article could really use a table of previous coaches.

Honors

It states that the listed honors are for the senior Portuguese national team, yet the fourth place finish at the 1996 Olympics is listed. Olympics football has been U-23 since 1992. On the same time, is fourth place really an honor? Because finishing outside the top three isn't a podium finish therefore fourth place isn't really an honor. This also goes to the listed fourth place finish at the 2006 World Cup. Banana Fingers (talk) 14:49, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

Increase in number of 'Penaldo' edit requests

A lot of IPs have requested that 'Penaldo' be changed to Ronaldo, despite clarifying that there is no such error. Should something be done here? Kpddg ^{(talk • contribs)} 12:17, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

@Kpddg It's definitely annoying because there's absolutely nothing to do here since Google's A.I. does what it wants. I have created a new parent cat to house all the IP edit requests.

Major vs Minor cups

This article seems to classify major cups vs minor cups without any real source or reasoning. To me, undoubtedly the European Championship is a major trophy. But is the Nations League one? What about Confederations Cup? In my opinion yes, the SkyDome cup is a minor trophy, but that's just my opinion. Is there any consistent basis for this distinction? Or should they all be listed in the same category and let the reader decide what is major or minor? BlackenedTheUSSR (talk) 14:57, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
