Portugal Golden Generation v Current Crop

Vitor Baia beats the current no.1 Rui Patricio every day of the week. 1-0 to the oldies.

Abel Xavier > Cedric Soares on his barnet alone, although it was quite tame back in 2000. 2-0 oldies.

Jorge Costa was good but Ricardo Carvalho is great. The current crop hit back to make it 2-1.

Tough one to call. Pepe's antics shouldn't take away from his abilities but Fernando Couto shades it. 3-1

Raphael Guerreiro pips Dimas in the least glamorous match up to make it 3-2.

Paulo Bento looks like a man who would kick his own grandma. But Joao Moutinho is a touch classier. 3-3

Craft and guile vs brute force. Paulo Sousa shades it over William Carvalho, for now. 4-3.

Neither Sergio Conceicao nor Nani made the best of their boundless talent but Conceicao comes out on top. 5-3

Rui Costa is the crown prince, Renato Sanches the young pretender. In time Sanches could topple Costa. 6-3

Clash of the titans. Cristiano Ronaldo has carried his nation, so for that he beats Luis Figo. 6-4.

No contest. Pauleta scored 47 international goals while Rafa Silva is a winger played out of position. 7-4
