The '''[[Portugal]] national football team''' is controlled by the [[Portuguese Football Federation]] (FPF), finishing 4th at the [[2006 FIFA World Cup|last World Cup]]. The first appearance in the 1966 FIFA World cup saw them reach the semi final, losing 2-1 at [[Wembley Stadium (1923)|Wembley]] to the eventual world champions [[England national football team|England]]. Portugal finished in third place and [[Eusébio]] was considered the best player of the tournament. The next two times Portugal qualified for the World Cup were [[1986 FIFA World Cup|1986]] and [[2002 FIFA World Cup|2002]], with Portugal going out in the first round both times. In the 1986 tournament, players [[Saltillo Affair|went on strike]] over prize-money and refused to train between their first and second games.


{{/box-header|<big>The Novels Portal</big>|{{FULLPAGENAME}}/Intro|}}
In 2003, the Portuguese Football Federation decided to hire [[Luiz Felipe Scolari]], the [[Brazil]]ian who had led the [[Brazil national football team]] to win the [[2002 FIFA World Cup]]. Scolari led Portugal to the final of [[2004 UEFA European Football Championship|Euro 2004]], where they lost to [[Greece national football team|Greece]], and to their second World Cup semifinal in [[2006 FIFA World Cup|2006]].

===1966 FIFA World Cup===
The team started out with three wins in the group stage where they were in Group C when they beat [[Hungary national football team|Hungary]], [[Bulgaria national football team|Bulgaria]] and two-time defending champions [[Brazil national football team|Brazil]]. Secondly they beat surprise quarter-finalist [[Korea DPR national football team|Korea DPR]] 5-3, with [[Eusébio]] getting four markers to overturn a 0-3 deficit. Later, they reached the semifinals where they were beaten by hosts [[England national football team|England]] 2-1. Portugal then defeated [[USSR national football team|USSR]] 2-1 in the third place match for their best World Cup finish to date. [[Eusébio]] was the top scorer of the World Cup with nine goals.

===1986 FIFA World Cup===
In qualification round, Portugal had to beat [[West Germany national football team|West Germany]] in [[Stuttgart]] in the last qualifying game to be able to go through to the final round. Portugal won 0-1 and become the first team to beat West Germany at their home ground in an official match. Portugal was a fan favourite to make a good campaign because of their 1984 Euro Cup. The team exited early in the group stages after a win and two losses. They started with a 1-0 win to [[England national football team|England]]. Later they were beaten by [[Poland national football team|Poland]] and [[Morocco national football team|Morocco]], 1-0 and 3-1 respectively.

{{/box-header|Did you know?|{{FULLPAGENAME}}/Did you know|}}
Needing a draw to advance, they lost the final group game to hosts [[South Korea national football team|South Korea]]. Argentinian referee [[Ángel Sánchez (football)|Ángel Sánchez]] sent off [[João Vieira Pinto]] for a tackle on [[Park Ji-Sung]]. [[Roberto Severo|Beto]] was ejected for his second yellow card of the match, reducing Portugal to nine men, and Park scored the winner to allow the Koreans to advance.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport3/worldcup2002/hi/team_pages/portugal/newsid_2047000/2047782.stm FIFA suspends Pinto]</ref>

===2006 FIFA World Cup===
The Portuguese squad qualified for the [[2006 FIFA World Cup]] in Germany under the leadership of manager [[Luiz Felipe Scolari]]. In the qualification, Portugal defeated [[Russia national football team|Russia]] 7-1, and finished first place in Group D of the WC finals, with victories over [[Angola national football team|Angola]] (1-0, goal from Pauleta, the leading goalscorer in the [[2006 FIFA World Cup qualification|World Cup qualifiers]]), [[Iran national football team|Iran]] (2-0, scored by [[Deco]] and [[Cristiano Ronaldo]]) and [[Mexico national football team|Mexico]] (2-1, goals from [[Maniche]] and [[Simão Sabrosa|Simão]]). Only Mexico's [[Francisco Fonseca]] was able to score against Portugal.


<div style="clear:both; width:100%">
Portugal defeated the [[Netherlands national football team|Netherlands]] 1-0 in the Round of 16 on [[June 25]] in [[Frankenstadion|Nuremberg]]. The only goal came courtesy of a Maniche strike in an acrimonious match marked by 16 yellow cards, with 4 players ([[Khalid Boulahrouz]], [[Costinha]], Deco and [[Giovanni van Bronckhorst]]) being sent off (see the [[Battle of Nuremberg]]).


{{/box-header|Categories|{{FULLPAGENAME}}/Categories|}}
On Saturday, [[July 1]] at [[Veltins-Arena|Gelsenkirchen]], Portugal drew 0-0 after extra-time with [[England national football team|England]], but won 3-1 on [[penalty shootout|penalties]] to reach their first World Cup semi-final since 1966. The game was marred by a violent challenge on Portuguese defender [[Ricardo Carvalho]] by England's [[Wayne Rooney]], which resulted in him being sent off. Rooney later denied that it was intentional.

<div style="float:left; width:55%">
Portugal lost 1-0 against [[France national football team|France]] in the semi-finals on Wednesday, [[July 5]] at [[Allianz Arena|Munich]]. Two players had been forced to sit out due to accumulated bookings from the round of 16 and quarter-finals. It did not help that the team faced a hostile crowd of English and French fans; they relentlessly booed Ronaldo for his perceived unsportsmanlike behaviour in the previous round. As in the semi-finals of Euro 2000, Portugal were narrowly defeated by [[France national football team|France]], with the decisive goal being a penalty scored by [[Zinédine Zidane]] after [[Thierry Henry]] was awarded a penalty from a foul committed by Carvalho.

Portugal faced [[Germany national football team|Germany]] in the third place play-off match on [[July 8]] in [[Gottlieb-Daimler-Stadion|Stuttgart]]. The match was notable for being captain [[Luís Figo]]'s last before retirement from international football -- though, surprisingly, he was not selected to start the game, coming on as a substitute near the end and setting up Portugal's goal in a 3-1 defeat. All three German goals had the direct participation of [[Bastian Schweinsteiger]], who scored twice and had another shot turned into an own goal by Portugal's [[Armando Teixeira|Petit]]. Ultimately, the team won the ''Most Entertaining Team'' award for their play during the World Cup, in an award always organized through public participation in a poll.

===1984 European Championship===
{{/box-footer|}}
This was the first time that Portugal had ever qualified for the European Championship. In fact, the team almost didn't qualify, but a 1-0 victory over [[USSR national football team|USSR]] in the last game made it possible. Portugal ended in group B, alongside Spain, West Germany and Romania. In the first two games, they tied 0-0 and 1-1 against [[West Germany national football team|West Germany]] and [[Spain national football team|Spain]], respectively. A 1-0 win over [[Romania national football team|Romania]] gave them second place in the group, which was enough to go through to the knockout stage. [[SL Benfica]]'s [[Tamagnini Nené]] scored the winner.


</div>
They played against the hosts, France, and eventual champions, in one of the most exciting matches in European Championship history. [[France national football team|France]] scored first, but Portugal equalised almost an hour later. The game was tied after 90 minutes and went into extra time. Portugal made 2-1 in the first fifteen minutes and both teams could have scored more goals. In the second half of extra time France scored in the 114th and 119th minutes to eliminate Portugal and go through to the final.

===1996 European Championship===
In the final tournament, Portugal drew 1-1 with European Champions [[Denmark national football team|Denmark]], won 1-0 to [[Turkey national football team|Turkey]] and 3-0 against [[Croatia national football team|Croatia]], finishing first in their group. In the quarter-finals they lost 1-0 to eventual runners-up, [[Czech Republic national football team|Czech Republic]], due to a marvellous [[Karel Poborský]] second-half lob to goalkeeper [[Vítor Baía]].


===2000 European Championship===
This tournament was the inaugural success of the so-called Geração Dourada([[Golden Generation]]), captained by [[Fernando Couto]]. They defeated England (3-2, recovering from a 2-0 disadvantage), Romania (1-0), and Germany (3-0, from a Conceição hat-trick) to finish atop their group and then defeated Turkey in the quarter-finals.


[[Category:{{PAGENAME}}|*{{FULLPAGENAME}}]]
In the semi-final meeting with World Cup holders France, Portugal scored first. However, France equalized and Portugal were eliminated in extra time by a [[golden goal]] when Zidane converted a [[penalty kick|penalty]]. [[Austria]]n referee [[Gunter Benko]] awarded the spot kick for a handball after [[Abel Xavier]] blocked a shot from [[Sylvain Wiltord]] (Benko initially gave France a corner but changed his mind after consulting with [[Slovakia|Slovak]] linesman Igor Sramka). Xavier, [[Nuno Gomes]] (one of the top scorers in the tournament with four goals) and [[Paulo Bento]] were all given lengthy suspensions for shoving the referee.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/euro2000/teams/portugal/default.stm UEFA suspends Portuguese trio]</ref>

[[Image:Portugiesische Fans bei der Euro 2004.jpg|thumb|Portuguese fans during Euro 2004]]
This tournament was held in [[Portugal]]. The host nation lost the first game against [[Greece national football team|Greece]], 1-2. They got their first win against Russia, 2-0, and also beat a strong Spain side (1-0), with the latter eventually knocked out in the group stages. They went through and went on to play against England, in an entertaining 2-2 draw that went into penalties, where [[Ricardo Pereira|Ricardo]] proved decisive, saving a penalty and scoring the winner himself. Portugal beat Holland 2-1 in the semi-final with a Maniche strike from outside the box. They were eventually beaten by rank outsiders Greece 1-0, credited to [[striker]] [[Angelos Charisteas]], marking the first time in the history of the competition that the final featured the same two teams as the opening match.

===2008 European Championship===
The Portuguese team was a featured part of TV network ESPNs ad campaign promoting their coverage of the [[Euro 2008]] tournament.<ref>[http://youtube.com/watch?v=2_7fKzasYjA&feature=related Euro 2008 promotional video, on YouTube]</ref>With the national side as one of the favorites to win the trophy, the first game was against Turkey and it was won 2-0, with first-ever scoring achievements for internationals [[Képler Laveran Lima Ferreira|Pepe]] and [[Raul Meireles]]. Their second game was against the Czech Republic, a 3-1 success. With assured qualification to the knockout stage, as first in group A, they played with the reserve team against [[Switzerland national football team|Switzerland]], and lost 2-0, with two [[Hakan Yakin|Hakan Yakın]] goals.

On [[19 June]] [[2008]], Portugal played against Germany, and were beaten 2-3 after falling behind 0-2 within the first half an hour. Portugal proceeded to score, followed by another German goal, a [[Michael Ballack]] header. Portugal scored a consolation goal in the final minutes of normal time, courtesy of [[Hélder Postiga]], but was eventually knocked out of Euro 2008 at the quarterfinal stage.

A novel is a long narrative, normally in prose, which describes fictional characters and events, usually in the form of a sequential story.

The genre has also been described as possessing "a continuous and comprehensive history of about two thousand years". This view sees the novel's origins in Classical Greece and Rome, medieval, early modern romance, and the tradition of the novella. The latter, an Italian word used to describe short stories, supplied the present generic English term in the 18th century. Ian Watt, however, in The Rise of the Novel (1957) suggests that the novel first came into being in the early 18th century,

Miguel de Cervantes, author of Don Quixote, is frequently cited as the first significant European novelist of the modern era; the first part of Don Quixote was published in 1605.

The romance is a closely related long prose narrative. Walter Scott defined it as "a fictitious narrative in prose or verse; the interest of which turns upon marvellous and uncommon incidents", whereas in the novel "the events are accommodated to the ordinary train of human events and the modern state of society." Scott's definition is not to be thought more than historical, however; for many romances, including Scott's own historical romance, Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights and Herman Melville's Moby-Dick, are also frequently called novels, and Scott describes romance as a "kindred term". Romance, as defined here, should not be confused with the genre fiction love romance or romance novel. Other European languages do not distinguish between romance and novel: "a novel is le roman, der Roman, il romanzo."

Selected article

Uncle Tom's Cabin, Boston edition
Uncle Tom's Cabin is American author Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel about the evils of slavery. Published in 1852, the novel had a profound effect on the world's view of African-Americans and slavery, so much so in the latter case that people have said the book laid the groundwork for the American Civil War. The novel focuses on the character of Uncle Tom, a long-suffering Black slave around whose life the stories of other characters—both fellow slaves and slave owners—revolve. The sentimental novel depicts the harsh reality of slavery while also asserting that Christian love and faith can overcome something as evil as enslavement of fellow human beings. Uncle Tom's Cabin was the best-selling novel of the 19th century and the second best-selling book of the 19th century, following the Bible. The book's impact was so great that when Abraham Lincoln met Stowe at the start of the American Civil War, Lincoln is often quoted as having declared, "So this is the little lady who made this big war." The book also helped create a number of common stereotypes about Blacks, many of which endure to this day. These include the affectionate, dark-skinned mammy; the Pickaninny stereotype of black children; and the Uncle Tom, or dutiful, long-suffering servant faithful to his white master or mistress. In recent years, the negative associations with Uncle Tom's Cabin have to a large degree overshadowed the historical impact of the book as a "vital antislavery tool."

Selected novel quote

  • In past ages, a war, almost by definition, was something that sooner or later came to an end, usually in unmistakable victory or defeat.In the past, also, war was one of the main instruments by which human societies were kept in touch with physical reality. All rulers in all ages have tried to impose a false view of the world upon their followers, but they could not afford to encourage any illusion that tended to impair military efficiency. So long as defeat meant the loss of independence, or some other result generally held to be undesirable, the precautions against defeat had to be serious. Physical facts could not be ignored. In philosophy, or religion, or ethics, or politics, two and two might make five, but when one was designing a gun or an aeroplane they had to make four. Inefficient nations were always conquered sooner or later, and the struggle for efficiency was inimical to illusions. Moreover, to be efficient it was necessary to be able to learn from the past, which meant having a fairly accurate idea of what had happened in the past. Newspapers and history books were, of course, always coloured and biased, but falsification of the kind that is practiced today would have been impossible. War was a sure safeguard of sanity, and so far as the ruling classes were concerned it was probably the most important of all safeguards. While wars could be won or lost, no ruling class could be completely irresponsible.
