Portugal - Finland 21.11.

[Pullakuski]

Hello!
Does anyone know where that game will be playd? I know the official decision must be done two months before the game, but it's too late for me. I guess there is two possibilities: Lisboa and Porto?

the game will be played in lisbon

[Pullakuski]

How come you are so sure about it? The first two qualifying games were played somewhere else. I guess it was because the opponents were not actually world class teams. But, sad to say, neither is Finland. And further more, Portugal has most likely made his way to final tournament by then. So isn't it possible that the game takes place in some backyard in the middle of nowhere?

Portugal has really got to get serious and step up if they want to qualify

I think they'll take it 2-1

[Laranjada]

Has it been confirmed that the November 21st game is going to be in Porto?? Looks like I have to take a train too then :(

[Pullakuski]

Yes, it's confirmed. This is from http://www.palloliitto.fi/viestinta/?num=99944
which is Finnish football federations web site:

"A-maajoukkueen EM-karsinnan päätösottelu Portugalia vastaan pelataan Portossa 21.11. Ottelun alkamisaika vahvistuu myöhemmin.

Pelipaikkana Estadio do Dragão

Portugalin jalkapalloliitto on päättänyt viedä ottelun FC Porton kentälle Estadio do Dragãolle. Vuonna 2003 valistunut jalkapallopyhättö vetää sisuksiinsa 52 000 katsojaa."

I guess you can pick the key words from it :)

[Laranjada]
