Gd joga... apesar de perder por 46 pontos, conseguiram fazer melhor do que o esperado (as casas de apostas previam que Portugal perdesse por 60.5 pontos).

Parabéns!!!!

Valentyn Melnychuk atribui a boa prestação de Portugal na fase final do Europeu à preparação efectuada nos últimos anos, sobretudo antes do arranque da competição que decorre em Espanha.
ASF
«O segredo foi a preparação que fizemos ao longo destes anos, mas especialmente antes do Europeu, com o jogo particular com a Espanha e a participação em dois torneios», disse Melnychuk.

«Demonstrámos, mais uma vez, que os portugueses sabem jogar basquetebol, ao vencer uma equipa que tinha eliminado a Sérvia e vencido em grande estilo a Croácia», sublinhou o técnico ucraniano, rematando: «É mais um sonho que transformámos em realidade. Sonhámos, trabalhámos e conseguimos».

Apesar de achar que tb estamos a fazer um bom papel no basquetebol, mais ainda com a vitória frente a Israel este tópico é para os Lobos do ragueby que fizeram um excelente jogo contra a Escócia.
Se não fosse alguns erros por nervosismo tinhamos talvez chegado aos 20 pontos.
Parabéns!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Já começamos a bater records:

1º ensaio de Portugal num Campeonato do Mundo
Primeiros 10 pontos em Campeonatos do Mundo

Agora venham lá esses tais all blacks, os lobos estão e saírão de pé e de cabeça erguida deste mundial.

O "Aconteceu Taça!" não se aplica no rugby, pois aqui a preparação física é um factor de suma importância.

Neste desporto a força que cada bloco impõe para empurrar o outro conta imenso. Os Lobos, como equipa amadora tem muito menos tempo de treino físico que as restantes selecções constituídas por profissionais com mais horas de ginásio em cima. É quase como se um TIR enfrentasse um Mini.

A diferença entre o top 5 mundial e as restantes é enorme e mesmo no Top 5... temos o recente exemplo das "cabazadas" que os All Black deram à França (2ª do Ranking) recentemente.

[Dialmedia]

Tudo a apostar na derrota como se fosse certa... hum...

Digam isso a quem apostou forte e feio na vitória do Porto quando jogou em casa contra o Atlético

[LM15]

110 pontos não é nada para a NZ. CAda ensaio são 5pontos e têm direito a mais 2pontos num pontapé aos postes. Cada pontapé de penalidade aos postes são 3pontos. O jogo tem 40min x2.

Podes contar no minimo com 15 ensaios da NZ x 7p= 105p
E se jogarem com a equipa titular que duvido muito, ao intervalo já devem estar a ganhar por mais de 50pts.

Alguns resultados :

10 Jun 2005 New Zealand v Fiji 91-0
12 Nov 2006 France v New Zealand 3-47

2007 Iveco Series

Date Game Venue Time(NZ)
02 Jun New Zealand v France Auckland 42-11

Parece-me haver "valor" aí nisso!!!

110 pontos é capaz de ser muito, não?!
Isso corresponderia a quantos ensaios?

Levaremos uma enfarda tão GRANDE
O seleccionador disse que não queria entrar para o Guinness!

Já agora, na betfair, o handicapping para o jogo contra a N. Zelândia é de 110.5 pontos e apostar em que portugal perde por menos de 111 pontos paga 2.12x...

Como jogador (nao dos lobos, infelizmente) so posso dizer que vai custar muito!

Vai haver lesoes, vai ser desigual, provavelmente vamos ficar a zeros (espero que o Duarte Cardoso Pinto esteja inspirado e com o pe quente).

No entanto, vao entrar com orgulho e sair de cabeca erguida. O rugby e um desporto mental, nao so fisico (as equipes de topo sao de carne e osso como todos nos). O medo e que nos magoa, que nos traz as lesoes...

A derrota esta garantida, teem toda a possibilidade de brilhar pela atitude!

Tenho a certeza que, qualquer que seja o resultado final e as mazelas, nenhum daqueles jogadores trocaria os momentos de uma fase final do campeonato do mundo por nada.

Eu estou a morrer de inveja, da bancada!

Vamos a eles!

Muito friamente, não temos hipótese... Porém, alimento a esperança que os Lobos ataquem com unhas e dentes aquelas "ovelhas romenas" e façam estragos...

Quanto aos restantes jogos (Escócia, Nova Zelandia e Itália), apenas espero que se divirtam, pois o feito está conseguido: participar no campeonato do mundo.

Pena é que apenas apanhemos os romenos depois de levar porrada das grandes equipas (mas a Roménia também...)

Força Lobos!

Debate: Does the Rugby World Cup have too many mismatches? YES

Ian Robertson and Stephen Larkham discuss the issue of World Cup minnows and the thrashings handed out by big teams.


Ian Robertson Commentator and former Scotland international

Just looking at the rankings, you have Portugal 21st in the world, Georgia 17th and Namibia 25th, and given that there are 20 teams in the World Cup that suggests it's not going to be much fun for them. But New Zealand against Portugal is the match I home in on. The Portuguese have got one player who plays third-division rugby in France and the rest are amateurs, so it is obvious to say that they are not going to be in anything like the shape of the All Blacks, who are No1 in the world. That means there is a serious risk to the physical welfare of the Portuguese players, who simply do not have the stature required.

That match will be a salutary lesson for rugby that amateurs should not be playing against professionals and that the World Cup should be cut from 20 teams to 16 immediately. Playing four games in the group is asking too much of such amateur sides, although having 20 teams makes scheduling difficult for the bigger sides too - Scotland have to play New Zealand on a Sunday and six days later, after a flight, they have to play Italy in St Etienne. That means the Scots are likely to put out their reserves against the All Blacks and may well lose by 70 or 80 points themselves.

It's true that Portugal have one day fewer to prepare for their match against New Zealand than New Zealand do, so that hardly helps. The tournament is arranged for the biggest teams. The 20-team format creates problems - four games are unmanageable for the minnows, but five groups of four teams is an unmanageable format. In a sense, though, that is beside the point, as these small teams are simply out of their league. They may get away with it in sevens, as Portugal have proved by doing well in Hong Kong and elsewhere, but at 15-a-side New Zealand will simply pummel them, even if they play with all 15 of their reserves, and it could well be a 100- or 150-point beating.

I have a huge belief in the "hands across the sea, unification" aspect of international sport, but when the guy in the 100m runs it in 15 seconds, there is still a moment of glory for his minor nation. There is no risk to himself. Portugal's players may well be injured and it will be an embarrassment for rugby. Georgia may be able to make a fist of it this time, as they have more players in the top level of French rugby but I also fear for Namibia. When such underdogs meet that is their one chance, of course, and yet Portugal meet Romania last of all. They will do well still to be standing.

The model England put forward for 2007, with a 16-team senior event and a developing nations cup under that, was the right one. The amateur sides could then play that instead of the long qualifying process which exists at present, and play at their own standard. You can put together 16 teams for a professional event because teams like US , Canada, Fiji, Tonga and Samoa have players around the world . The International Rugby Board will make around £70m from this World Cup. Teams like Argentina, who have been kept in the cold, have shown what is possible with that model and the U S could follow them - Nigel Melville's work will be important there in tapping into the college football players who don't make it into the NFL. At least the US has the physical capital.

NO

Stephen Larkham World Cup winner with 101 caps for Australia

I certainly feel that the 20-team format is great for rugby and I think that the teams that have qualified deserve to be in the tournament. As a player and a fan I want to see a wide variety of nations involved and it's really important that teams like Portugal, Namibia and our opponents, Japan, get their chance on the big stage. Calling them mismatches is unfair.

Obviously some pool matches are harder than others and the smaller sides don't have much chance of getting through, but that doesn't mean the games will not be entertaining for the crowds and audience and useful for both the big and small teams. The individuals playing for the real contenders for the cup, such as New Zealand and the Wallabies, will take each fixture very seriously, but they can also learn something from the lesser sides. We play Japan in our first game and we will respect them, but we know we can use it as a platform to try out new ideas and get some confidence before the big test against Wales in Cardiff in our second match.

But it isn't just us who will take something from these matches. The only way teams such as Portugal and Georgia can learn and improve is to play against the best in the world. Even one or two of my team-mates look up to the very best - the All Blacks - and look forward to playing them because they know they will be tested. The amateur players will be facing their heroes and this will be an inspiration for them. You can only learn so much from watching on the TV or from the stands and the lesser teams don't get many opportunities so we should encourage them. A lot of the best players from sides such as Portugal have honed their skills by playing sevens against top performers from around the world. Many of those skills transfer over to the 15-man game.

I know some see the potential for physical danger - especially in the front row - in an encounter like New Zealand against a mainly amateur Portuguese side, but I'm sure teams will be sensitive and props and hookers are aware and wouldn't go out to hurt another player. You'd like to think the referees would be aware of potential problems too and would be on the lookout for dangerous or risky situations.

I think the length of the tournament is fine. Even though each team has to play four pool games I think players from the minor teams will be relishing the prospect. I guess my perspective is different from theirs, but I want to play in every game I can and I love the thought of playing in four matches against the best in the world. They may be tired and bruised by the end, but it will be a great experience for them.

One of the most important aspects of a 20-team event is that the IRB can raise more money and this means more support and funding for the up-and-coming nations in the long term. It might make future fixtures easier to arrange if people can see that these teams are really trying to step up and compete with the best. Rugby is a world game and this is the best way to help it grow even further, and it wouldn't happen without this type of event. It's a great spectacle and if I was a fan of Portugal I would be really excited about following my team, even against New Zealand.

Será assim um massacre? Será que voltam inteiros?
Acho que os Lobos poderão arreganhar os caninos... e não fugir com o rabo entre as pernas.
