Paulo Bento Names 23 Man Squad For Portugal

Portuguese national team coach Paulo Bento has finally named his squad after months of trying to figure out who he was going to pick. A couple of months ago, it looked as if he was leaving out Rui Patricio (Sporting CL) and Helder Postiga (Lazio), but one of the names that was definitely snubbed from the lineup is that of Porto's Ricardo Quaresma who didn't make the cut along with Eduardo Silvio. The usuals are there like Ronaldo, Moutinho, but Rafa and Éder of Sporting Braga are new editions to the National Team lineup. Check it out below for yourselves. 

Goalkeepers: Beto (Sevilla), Eduardo (Braga), Rui Patrício (Sporting)

Defenders: André Almeida (Benfica), Bruno Alves (Fenerbahçe), Fábio Coentrão (Real Madrid), João Pereira (Valencia), Neto (Zenit), Pepe (Real Madrid), Ricardo Costa (Valencia)

Midfielders: João Moutinho (Monaco), Miguel Veloso (D. Kiev), Raul Meireles (Fenerbahçe), Rúben Amorim (Benfica), William Carvalho (Sporting)

Forwards: Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid), Éder (Braga), Hélder Postiga (Lazio), Hugo Almeida (Besiktas), Nani (Manchester United), Rafa (Braga), Varela (FC Porto), Vieirinha (Wolfsburg)
