Winners of the 1989 and 1991 editions of the FIFA U-20 World Cup, Portugal’s class of 2011 have a weighty burden of history on their shoulders. Nor do the Lusitanians look like they will have an easy ride, having failed to convince at the 2009/10 UEFA European U-19 Championship, despite securing qualification for Colombia 2011. They were subsequently unable to negotiate their group at June’s Toulon Tournament and only finished third, behind Mexico and Panama, at a recent warm-up competition. However, coach Ilidio Vale remains confident his team have prepared well and will grow in stature as Colombia 2011 progresses.
