Luiz Felipe Scolari and his boys probably haven't managed yet to get over the surprise loss of the European crown on the previous Championship, hosted in Portugal, when they lost in the Final from Greece.

However, this year, they are back, and regardless their narrow qualification to the Finals at the last match over Finland, with star-quality players like Christiano Ronaldo, Deco, Ricardo Carvalho and Nani on top form, Portugal ranks among the favourites to go a long away in the tournament.
