FIFA Ranking- 3
Group G
Yes Portugal is ranked third by FIFA, but I think they have too many holes to be ranked that high on my list. Many people see the team and think that it is all Christiano Ronaldo, and while that might not be true it is still close to it. They have a solid defense and above average midfield with other scoring threats including Nani and Deco. This leaves their one glaring weakness, a lack of a top flight striker to get them goals. They only averaged 1.6 goals per game in qualifying a number that needs to be higher if they want to progress far in the tournament. If they can find a true scoring threat then they would be ranked higher, but until they prove it to me they will stay down here.
