Postiga in Portugal squad

Helder Postiga was today named in Portugal’s squad for 2004 despite a hugely disappointing first season with Tottenham.

Postiga has scored just two goals for Spurs since his move from Porto last June but was still included in coach Luiz Felipe Scolari’s 23-man squad.

Manchester United’s Cristiano Ronaldo is the only other England-based player in the squad.

Portugal squad for Euro 2004:

Ricardo (Sporting Lisbon), Quim (Braga), Moreira (Benfica); Paulo Ferreira (Porto), Miguel (Benfica), Ricardo Carvalho (Porto), Jorge Andrade (Deportivo La Coruna), Fernando Couto (Lazio), Beto (Sporting Lisbon), Rui Jorge (Sporting Lisbon), Nuno Valente (Porto); Costinha (Porto), Petit (Benfica), Tiago (Benfica), Rui Costa (AC Milan), Deco (Porto), Maniche (Porto), Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United), Simao Sabrosa (Benfica), Luis Figo (Real Madrid); Pauleta (Paris St Germain), Nuno Gomes (Benfica), Helder Postiga (Tottenham).
