Is the most times since the Portuguese shirt with 127 meetings. And it was 15 years of service selection.

Paulo Futre

There will be few who already remember this crack. Atletico enjoyed it becoming an idol for the fans. Sin embargo, He was Porto who was lucky enough to see the best of him. Spectacular goals (one of them won a European Cup), played impossible, He was a magician with the ball that was overflowing, velocidad, frantic driving and goal. A genius who played the World Cup 86 with your selection, although it was only a starter in a meeting.

Rui Costa

Pauleta

Era el top scorer in the history of the Portuguese national team con 46 goals until Cristiano, man it surpassed records. Pauleta was not anything special. Simply a good scorer with a virtue in football is gold: el gol. he had opportunism, smell, KILLER area that had much on his mind.

Era bueno, with overflow, gol, Dodge ability to play with any band, but he could not reach the records of Luis even though it improved as the years passed.

Ricardo Quaresma
