Portugal belatedly secured their place at next summer's World Cup with an impressive performance in
Zenica. After scraping a 1-0 win in Lisbon at the weekend with a laboured showing on home turf,
Carlos Queiroz's side upped their game to close out the qualifying play-off and book a ticket to
South Africa.

Manchester United is one of the best football clubs in the world and Sir Alex Ferguson is the most
decorated manager in England. It is very difficult to replace this man once he steps down. But that
has to happen and happen soon. So who will replace Fergie? I wish Sir Alex could continue forever
at Old Trafford.

If a third straight World Cup is to be in Portugal's future, Carlos Queiroz's side must get past

On Saturday 14th November 2009, Portugal play Bosnia-Herzegovina in the first leg of their World
Cup playoff. This is a really tough one to predict for me, as Portugal have really struggled in the
group stage and Bosnia appear to have a strong side. Sports retailers will certainly be hoping for
a Portuguese victory, as they are likely to be one of the best selling World Cup Jerseys likely to
be among the best selling kits next summer.

mais para complicar do que para ajudar.

Following an incredibly impressive start to the season, Sunderland defender/midfielder Kieran
Richardson has revealed that the Manchester United coaching staff long had other plans for the
former England international. While Sir Alex Ferguson most often played Richardson on the left

flourished in his new role in the back four.

After all the head coaches to pass through with the New York Red Bulls and the MetroStars before
them, it is easy to forget who the first man to run the club was.
That man is Carlos Queiroz, current head coach of the Portuguese national team. Although he is
currently employed, Portugal's shaky position in World Cup qualifying could mean that Queiroz will
be looking for a job in a month.

How long does he have left?
With Portugal on the verge of non-qualification for the World Cup in 2010, manager Carlos
Queiroz is under extreme pressure and has the very real possibility of unemployment looming over
him. Given this threat, and inevitability that this will occur, I ask you.
