Portugal

Portugal had trouble in qualifying for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and was quite content with second place in the balanced group 1 ahead of Sweden, Hungary, Albania and Malta. Finally in the play-off against Bosnia-Herzegovina, the Portuguese booked their World Cup ticket.

Overall, for the fifth time the "Selecção" qualified for a World Cup tournament. Portugal celebrated the greatest success at its premiere in 1966, when Eusebio and Co. reached the third place in England. Four years ago in Germany they moved in the small final and drew the short straw against the host.
