Portugal vs Malta

Portugal vs Malta

Teams playing on the 14th of October, European time.  Huge game for Portugal who need the three points as they're second on the table with Sweden (and possibly Hungary) breathing down their necks.  I have loved to hate Portugal ever since about 2005.  I'm picking a 2-0 victory to Malta.  Muscat to score a 35yard screamer on the stroke of half time.  Second half comes he'll break all the bones in Ronaldo's left leg with a crunching tackle (and the ref will wave play on), and just before the final whistle goes he will rise above everybody and thunder a header in off the underside of the bar. loyalgunner2009-10-13 15:40:46

Portugal to win 5-3 BTW, Manny hattrick for Malta, Nani hattrick + Deco + Quaresma to score for Portugal.

Portugal should win this routinely. Malta to have 1 shot in the whole game, from about 35 yards out.

And well off target.
