There was no place for Maniche in Luiz Felipe Scolari's final 23-man squad for the EURO 2008 in Austria and Switzerland, although his brother Jorge Ribeiro is included after an excellent season in the defence of Boavista Porto.
Maniche was one of the stars of the previous EURO 2004 in Portugal, and also of the FIFA World Cup in Germany before appearing eight times in qualifying for Austria and Switzerland. Maniche pays the price of the fact that he couldn´t get a regular place at Inter Mailand.
The only uncapped member of Scolari's squad is goalkeeper Rui Patrício (Sporting Lissabon). His club colleagues João Moutinho and Miguel Veloso are present at the final party just like Hélder Postiga. The absolute superstar of the Portuguese team is Christiano Ronaldo (Manchester United).

No place for striker Hakan Şükür in the Turkey squad

Terim has opted to exclude Yildiray Baştürk, Halil Altıntop and İbrahim Kaş from his squad for UEFA EURO 2008 as he confirmed his 23-man squad for the final tournament.
Turkey right-back defender Gökhan Gönül from Fenerbahçe has been removed from their provisional EURO squad due to a bruised second-metatarsal bone in his right foot.
Turkey faces in Group A on Portugal (7.6.), Switzerland (11.6.) and Czech Republic (15.6.).
