Preview: Georgia vs Portugal
Saturday November 11 2006
World Cup place up for grabs
Portugal travel to Tblissi where they play against Georgia in the final round of European World Cup qualifiers.
This match is over two legs, the first in Tblissi, the second at the university's ground (Estádio Universitário) in Lisbon on 25 November.
Portugal have not previously been to the World Cup. Spain dashed their hopes in 1999, and it will not be easy this year either.
Earlier this year, Georgia beat Portugal 40-0 in the European Nations Cup. That was in Tblissi. The year before Portugal beat Georgia 18-14 in Lisbon.
Aware of their hiding against the Lelos, the Portuguese coach Tomaz Morais believes that his team is now better organised and more confident for this :game of a lifetime".
