he has a problem with his gastrcnemius, which is in his leg from what i can recall.

I think gastroenterico = Gastroenteritis which is infalmation +/- infection of the digestive system (mainly stomach and intestines)..

But you are right gastrocnemius muscle is the calf muscle..

Andrade & Tiago Called up for their national team


The Portugal coach Luiz Felipe Scolari has named a powerful squad for next week's UEFA EURO 2008™ qualifier in Armenia, although there is no place for Manchester United FC recruit Nani alongside his returning club-mate Cristiano Ronaldo.

Nani, bought for €25.5m, will remain with Rui Caçador's Under-21 squad for their friendly in Malta, although his former Sporting Clube de Portugal colleague Miguel Veloso has been promoted to the senior ranks having impressed during June's UEFA European Under-21 Championship. Ronaldo is back after suspension, although Petit misses out for that reason and fellow midfielder Hugo Viana is injured.

Scolari said: "He [Veloso] has his first big opportunity because we had some troubles in finding a player for that position as Petit is suspended. He has already shown promise at Sporting after a wonderful run with the U21 team. It's important to win [in Armenia] so that we can have some breathing space to deal with in the remaining matches." Ricardo Carvalho, Simão Sabrosa and Nuno Gomes will travel to Yerevan after recovering from injury, while SC Braga striker João Tomás is included once again. Portugal are one of three clubs on 14 points in Group A, five points behind the leaders Poland who have played two games more.

Portugal squad
Goalkeepers: Ricardo (Real Betis Balompié), Quim (SL Benfica).

Defenders: Fernando Meira (VfB Stuttgart), Jorge Andrade (Juventus), José Bosingwa (FC Porto), Miguel (Valencia CF), Caneira (Valencia CF), Paulo Ferreira (Chelsea FC), Ricardo Carvalho (Chelsea FC).

You can't go too deep among Portuguese goalies. Though it is better than England...

Should be a good squad. Beyond Deco, they seem a bit lacking in midfield with this squad, though ... they could use at least one defensive call-up, whether a Petit or (better) a Manuel Fernandes. Otherwise, they're generally loaded with more offensive MF talent.

And of course they have no answer for a striker...

(And I know who snoop will be rooting for. )

For as long as I can remember Portugal's national team has always been criticised for playing lovely football until they reach their opponents' penalty area where they break down. Yet I can also remember 1or 2 useful strikers, e.g. Nuno Gomez, & speaking of him, he helped Portugal sink England in the Euro Championships (was it 2000?)

They have insane wingers for some reason but the most crap awful people at the posts.

Yep. That would be the Portuguese NT alright.

The sad thing is that he can still play for them... meaning, they don't have much better than that still!

At his best, he's a poacher -- a poor man's version of Pippo Inzaghi. At his worst, well, he's on the bench nursing injuries.
