We also ask James about how the host country is gearing up for the Euro 2016 tournament and hear about another Portuguese manager making a name for himself in the French second division.
Seleção, Benfica and Braga in Europe, Porto's problems discussedWe kick off our latest podcast by looking at the Portugal national team ahead of Euro 2016 in the wake of the recent friendlies. How should Fernando Santos solve the problems caused by the lack of quality strikers available and the abundance of talent in midfield?
Club football then takes centre stage as we discuss Benfica and Braga’s performances in Europe this week and weigh up their chances of making progress. We wrap up by analysing FC Porto’s ongoing troubles. What does club president Pinto da Costa have to do to get the Dragons back on track?
In the latest edition of the PortuGOAL podcast we tip our hat to Benfica’s fantastic achievement of reaching the Champions League quarter-finals after back-to-back wins against Zenit St Petersburg.
We then take a look at the Liga NOS title race and assess the chances of the three perpetual candidates to lift the crown, Benfica, Sporting and FC Porto, as the 2015/16 season heads towards an exciting climax.
