Advantages: A Stretch of Coastline with Villas and Architecture from a Ggolden Era Disadvantages: None
Estoril and its coastline has always been a favourite getaway for me especially when I worked in Lisbon and still to this day is somewhere I love to visit even though the area has changed a great deal with time. When I first visited Portugal's Cost do Sol over 20 years ago the area had what I can only describe as a 'Miss Faversham look.' It was run down and jaded around the edges.

I remember walking through private lanes looking at these beautiful ornate buildings with windows broken, overgrown gardens and gates falling off their hinges.

Advantages: Very quick, Have skillful player, Ronaldo Disadvantages: Lack strikers
Portugal are fastly becomming the Brazil of Europe, they are doing this by the way in which they play the game. Not only are they successful but they also entertain the viewers. This is lead by the one and only Cristiano Ronaldo who is captain for this competition.
