Portugal in midle of 60's they have a very good team and a player of other dimension is Eusebio.
Portugal played world cup in England is 66 and they finished in 3d Place, but if you remember Portugal are rubish in semi-final against England(england won the worl cup)
why Portugal are rubish?
easy. they change the date and place of stadium from Portugal-England from semi-final.
The game must be in a city in a date and they change the place to another city and a day earlier.
and a few years ago in 2000 euro cup and 2004 euro cup they have a good place in 2000 they finished in 3 palce and 2nd place.the last worl cup they finished in 4.
So many teams are good and don´t won anithyng like Portugal only one can be a champion.
Sometimes is better finish and 2nd or 3th place and participate in great games.
If i can remeber this last worl cup(England ,Netherland,Brazil,Argentina they don´t play for nothing important in world cup.

What one have to do with another.
They are good because their players are the best in the world and they play everywhere in the world.I know is difficult to accept but its a reality.Not only they are the best players playing in UK but now even the managers are the best. Mourinho.
Ha ha ha!!!

Cuz they don't have the potential to put such event together! Even if they did host the 2004 EURO Cup...

If you add up all the semi's,Finals and quarterfinals they have been in, they are much better than even the power houses of soccer.
