Mexico team guide

How did they get to Germany: Easily. Portugal were unbeaten in their group in which they thrashed Russia 7-1 and finished seven points clear.

Qualifying star: Striker Pauleta ended the campaign with a brace that saw him overtake Eusebio's record of 41 goals for Portugal. He came top of the scoring charts in the European zone with 11.

Manager: Charismatic Brazilian Luiz Felipe Scolari. Known as "Big Phil" and bearing an uncanny resemblance to Gene Hackman, Scolari guided Portugal to the final of Euro 2004 but has yet to win over the Portuguese public and was hunted by England as a replacement for Sven-Goran Eriksson.

Captain: Luis Figo. Back from international retirement, the talismanic figure of Portuguese football was quickly given back the armband that he regarded as his own and he is now definite this will be his swansong.

World Cup pedigree: Patchy. Just the three so far. Portugal's first attempt in 1966 was highly successful but the 1986 and 2002 campaigns left a lot to be desired.

World Cup high: Reaching the semi-finals in 1966, beaten in the end by home nation and eventual champio
