Profile
Although Portugal has never won any major competition at senior level nor have reached a final, they usually play very attractive football and can produce some great performances, playing head-to-head with the world's best national sides.
Portugal's best performance yet, was back in the 1966 World Cup, in their very first World Cup appearance, when they reached the semi-finals and lost only to later world champions England. Led by their legendary player Eusébio, they put up amazing performances, knocking out previous World Cup champions Brazil and fighting back from a 3-0 result in the quarter-finals against North Korea, winning by 5-3. Portugal eventually finished in third place and Eusébio was considered the best player of the tournament.
