Even Prescott hits harder than that...
It's Big Phil and Mr. Feet himself, Ronaldo...
Group A
Portugal
Odds to win: 15/2
Previous best: Runners-up in 2004.
Gaffer's pedigree: There’s not much you don’t know about Phil Scolari, whether it be winning a World Cup, slagging off the English press or punching opposition players. What a guy.
He might do alright: Strong in the air, great with both feet and plays in the Premier League. But enough of Ricardo Carvalho, we’re keeping an eye on a chap named Ronaldo.
How did he get in? Helder Postiga. Yes Spurs fans, you read it right. This clown is still an international footballer.
Stick your money on: Juvenile chuckles nationwide when sub ‘keeper Quim is mentioned in commentary.
Wag Watch: Nereida Gallardo is Cristiano’s current flame, check her out
here.
If they were a celeb: Will Smith as Fresh Prince. Because Big Phil’s in charge. Obviously.
Obligatory translation feature: “Pela última vez Sr. Fergusson, Eu faço não exigir um chaperone” (“For the last time Mr. Ferguson, I do not require a chaperone.”)
Prediction: Second in the group, but lose to Germany in the quarters.
