Portugal National Football Team

The Portuguese national football team is controlled by the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF), finishing 4th in the 2006 FIFA World Cup. The first appearance in the 1966 FIFA World cup saw them reach the semi final, losing 2-1 at Wembley to the eventual world champions 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 and 2002, with Portugal going out in the first round both times. In the 1986 tournament, players went on strike over prize-money and refused to train between their first and second games.

In 2003, the Portuguese Football Federation decided to hire Luiz Felipe Scolari, the Brazilian who had led the Brazil national football team to win the 2002 FIFA World Cup. Scolari led Portugal to the final of Euro 2004, where they lost to Greece, and to their second World Cup semifinal in 2006. Scolari left after the Euro 2008 championships to manage Chelsea. Carlos Queiroz was appointed the new manager of Portugal in 2008.

Belgium National Football Team

The Belgium national football team is the national football team of Belgium and is controlled by the Belgian Football Association.

Belgium played its first official game on May 1, 1904 in a 3-3 draw against France. Prior to this match, a Belgian selection played several matches, but the squad contained some English players, so these are not added to the caps. For example, Belgium beat Netherlands by 8-0 on April 28, 1901 with the help of some Englishmen. It was then decided that Belgium would play twice a year against Netherlands beginning from 1905, generally once in Antwerp and once in Rotterdam (later Amsterdam). At that time, the national squad was chosen by a committee of representatives of the 6 or 7 main clubs.

The team was nicknamed The Red Devils by journalist Pierre Walckiers after its 3:2 victory over Netherlands (Rotterdam, 1906). The nickname stems from the fact that from the beginning and up until recently, the team's primary colours were all red.

Over the next six decades, Belgium established itself as a strong second-tier team, rarely in the running for winning a major tournament but never easy to handle at home or abroad. A key strength of the team was its systematic use of the offside trap, a defensive tactic developed in the 1960s at Anderlecht under French coach Pierre Sinibaldi.

Their most successful period started when they finished second in the UEFA Euro 1980. The 1980s and early 1990s are generally considered the golden age of the national team. Under the lead of Guy Thys, who coached more than 100 official games, Belgium established a reputation of being a physical, well-organized team that was difficult to play against. The team's rigorous organization was reinforced by several world-class players such as goalkeeper Jean-Marie Pfaff, right-back Eric Gerets, midfielder Jan Ceulemans, and playmaker Enzo Scifo. Performances were sometimes poor against lower-ranked teams, but nearly always inspired against top teams. Until as recently as 2002, world-class national teams did not like the prospect of playing the Red Devils--not even eventual champions Brazil, who were almost beaten by Belgium in the knockout phase of the 2002 World Cup. Since then, however, the team has steadily slipped down the rankings, and has not been able to extend its past reputation.

After failing to qualify for the FIFA World Cup for the first time since 1978, the contract of national coach Aimé Anthuenis was not renewed beyond 2005, and it was decided on December 22, 2005 that René Vandereycken would replace Anthuenis on January 1, 2006. On August 16 of that year, they started their new campaign. They played awfully and did not manage to get past the team from Kazakhstan. The situation got worse after also losing the home game against Poland on November 15 of that year. This put the Red Devils into an all-time low 71st position in the FIFA World Rankings in June, 2007, and they failed to qualify for Euro 2008. Then they started the World Cup qualifiers well with 7 points from 4 matches, but then lost at home and in Bosnia-Herzegovina on March 28 and April 1 2009, prompting the decision on Tuesday April 7, 2009 to sack coach René Vandereycken.

Yugoslavia National Football Team (non-existent since end-2005)

The Yugoslavia national football team represented the Kingdom of Yugoslavia (1920-1941) and the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (1946-1992) in association football. It enjoyed a modicum of success in international competition. In 1992, during the Yugoslav wars, the team was suspended from international competition as part of a United Nations boycott. In 1994, when the boycott was lifted, it was succeeded by the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia football team.

Czechoslovakia National Football Team (non-existent since end-1993)

The Czechoslovakia national football team was the national football team of Czechoslovakia, before the country was split into the Czech Republic and Slovakia. It was controlled by the Czechoslovak Football Association from 1922 to 1993. The team had two runner-up finishes in World Cups (1934, 1962) and a European Championship win in 1976.

Czechoslovakia qualified for the final stages of the 1990 World Cup and shortly afterwards their national coach Jozef Venglos moved to England to become Aston Villa manager, although his tenure was not a success and lasted just one season.

The national team was wound up in 1993 on the dissolution of Czechoslovakia to create the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

CIS National Football Team (non-existent since mid-1992)

The CIS national football team represented the Commonwealth of Independent States, a regional confederation formed by 12 of the 15 newly formed sovereign states that emerged out of the break-up of the Soviet Union during the first half of 1992. Since the USSR national team had already booked a spot in the Euro 1992 by qualifying in 1991, the only legitimate way for them to take part in the competition was to take part as a unified team. As the Soviet Union ceased to exist on 1 January 1992, so did the Football Federation of USSR. On 11 January 1992, the Association Football Federation of CIS was formed and approved by FIFA two days later.

Since Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania were never members of the Commonwealth of Independent States, and since the national teams of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania had already been formed, the players from these states did not participate in the CIS national team. Though the federation was successfully able to put together a national team, plans for a domestic league were less successful, resulting in separate championships for all of the breakaway republics.

Thus, the CIS national football team was previously known as the USSR national football team until June 1992 when the team completed its participation in the Euro 1992. It was renamed to Russia national football team and additional national teams for the FSU republics were formed as well.

The CIS national football team was coached by Anatoly Byshovets. The team failed to achieve success in Euro 1992, finishing last in the group with 2 draws and 1 loss, but achieved two notable draws with Germany and the Netherlands, before being beaten 3-0 by Scotland in what turned out to be their last ever match.

Soviet Union National Football Team (non-existent since 1992)

The Soviet Union national football team was the national football team of the Soviet Union. It ceased to exist on the break up of the Union. FIFA considers the CIS national football team (and ultimately, the Russia national football team) as its successor team allocating its former records to them; nevertheless, a large percentage of the team's former players came from outside the Russian SFSR, mainly from the Ukrainian SSR, and following the break up of the Soviet Union, some such as Andrei Kanchelskis from the former Ukrainian SSR continued to serve in the new Russia national football team.

The Soviet Union failed to qualify for the World Cup only twice, in 1974 and 1978, and attended seven finals tournaments in total. Their best finish was fourth in 1966, when they lost to West Germany in the semifinals, 2-1. The USSR qualified for five European Championships, winning the inaugural competition in 1960 when they beat Yugoslavia in the final, 2-1. They finished second three times (1964, 1972, 1988), and fourth once (1968), when, having drawn with Italy in the semi-final, they were sent to the third place playoff match by the loss of a coin toss. The Soviet Union also won the gold medal in the 1956 and 1988 Summer Olympics, the inaugural World Youth Championship in 1977, and the Under-16 World Championship in 1987.

Republic of Ireland National Football Team

The Republic of Ireland national football team represents Ireland in Association Football. It is run by the Football Association of Ireland and currently plays home fixtures at Croke Park in Dublin.

The team made its debut at the 1924 Olympics reaching the quarter finals. Between 1924 and 1936 the team competed as the Irish Free State and from then until 1950 it was referred to by the FAI as Ireland. The current name was adopted after a FIFA ruling to disambiguate it from the Ireland team run by the IFA, which is now commonly known as Northern Ireland.

Under the guidance of Jack Charlton and his successor Mick McCarthy the team enjoyed its most successful era, qualifying for Euro 88, reaching the quarterfinals of the 1990 World Cup and making the last sixteen at both the 1994 and 2002 World Cups.

The side was the first team from outside the UK to defeat England on home soil, at a fixture played at Goodison Park, Liverpool in 1949. The team also reached the quarterfinals of the 1964 European Nations' Cup.

Northern Ireland National Football Team

The Northern Ireland national football team represents Northern Ireland in international football. In such events, the individual countries of the United Kingdom compete separately, but do not participate in the Olympic Games. Before 1921, all of Ireland was represented by a single side, the Ireland national football team, organised by the Irish Football Association (IFA). Since 1921, the IFA is the organising body for the Northern Ireland team (although for some time it continued to use the name "Ireland"), while the Football Association of Ireland (FAI) organises the separate Republic of Ireland national football team.

Wales National Football Team

The Wales national football team represents Wales in international men's football. It is controlled by the Football Association of Wales, the governing body for football in Wales and the third oldest national football association in the world. The team has not qualified for a major international tournament since 1958, when it qualified for the 1958 FIFA World Cup.

Although part of the United Kingdom, Wales has always had its own representative side that plays in all the major professional tournaments, though not in the Olympic Games as the IOC only recognises the United Kingdom.

Wales were placed in Group 4 for qualification for the 2010 FIFA World Cup alongside Germany, Russia, Finland, Azerbaijan and Liechtenstein.

Scotland National Football Team

The Scotland national football team represents Scotland in international football and is controlled by the Scottish Football Association. Scotland are the joint oldest national football team in the world, alongside England, whom they played in the world's first international football match in 1872. Scotland maintains its own national side that competes in all major professional tournaments, with the exception of the Olympics as Scotland is not a member of the International Olympic Committee. The majority of Scotland's home matches are held at the national stadium, Hampden Park, with friendlies sometimes hosted at club stadiums.

Scotland have qualified for the FIFA World Cup and the UEFA European Football Championship several times, but have never progressed beyond the first stage of a tournament. The team have achieved some noteworthy results, however, such as beating the 1966 FIFA World Cup winners England 3–2 at Wembley Stadium in 1967. Archie Gemmill scored what has been described as one of the greatest World Cup goals ever in a 3–2 win during the 1978 World Cup against Holland, who reached the final of the tournament. In their qualifying group for UEFA Euro 2008, Scotland defeated 2006 World Cup runners-up France 1–0 in both fixtures.

Scotland's supporters are collectively known as the Tartan Army. Their traditional rivals are England, who they played annually from 1872 until 1989, but there have only been three senior level fixtures since then. The last match between the sides was the second leg of a Euro 2000 qualifying play-off at Wembley in 1999, which Scotland won 1–0, although England won the tie 2–1 on aggregate.

Sweden has traditionally been a strong team in international football, with eleven World Cup appearances and three medals in the Olympics. The Swedish team finished second in the 1958 World Cup, when it was the host team, being beaten by Brazil 5-2 in the final. Sweden has also finished third twice, in 1950 and 1994. In 1938, they finished fourth.

Hungary National Football Team

The Hungary national football team represents Hungary in international football and is controlled by the Hungarian Football Federation. It has a rich and proud pedigree in the game and a rightful place in football annals as one of the first original footballing nations in continental Europe and an innovator in the sport in the 1950s. In recent times the team's strength has diminished greatly, failing to qualify for any major tournament since 1986. However they hold the record for going the most number of consecutive games unbeaten, 32.

Denmark National Football Team

The Denmark national football team is controlled by the Danish Football Association and has represented the country of Denmark in international football competitions since 1908. The team has been a solidly competitive side in international football since the mid-1980s, with the triumph in the 1992 European Championships (Euro 1992) tournament as its most prominent victory.

In the qualification to Euro 2008, Denmark was placed in Group F with Liechtenstein, Northern Ireland, Iceland, Latvia, Spain and archrivals Sweden. Only Spain and Sweden qualified from the group. This is the first Euro Cup since 1980 without Danish participation (Denmark participated in 1992 without having qualified, due to the banning of Yugoslavia).

"What's up, Doc?" Something had caught the attention of our Senior Boys. (From left to right - Ngoh Chun Kiat, Noorsyukry and Nuri Ali.)

Syahmi Zuhaily looking rather shy while having his photo taken, as the rest of the Senior Boys were been inspected by the match referee.

The Champions' cheer, courtesy of our Senior Boys. "Want to win? Yes! Play to win? Yes! We Will Win! Qihua Cubs!"

"It's a bird? No! It's a plane? No! It's a soccer ball?!" As the players from both Woodgrove Pr (in blue jersey) and Qihua Pr (in dark blue jersey with red sleeves) tussled for the ball on the field during the match.

"Don't let the opponent get to the ball!" Both (from left to right) Azrul and Syeikhul must had wondered as they chased after the loose ball.

"It's mine!" Muzamil (in centre) chasing after the ball, with Azrul (No. 5 jersey) and Shafik looking on.

Our stand-in goalkeeper, Noorsyukry, taking his quick goal-kick.

Our Senior Boys attacking a corner while the Woodgrove boys were defending their goal as the ball came floating into the 6-yard box.

Was Shafik taking a goal-kick or doing ballet dancing?

"Hey you! Mark him lah!" Shafik (No. 4 jersey) must had shouted this instruction at Firdaus (No. 15 jersey) as our Senior Boys were defending a Woodgrove throw-in.

France National Football Team

The France national football team represents the nation of France in international football. It is fielded by the French Football Federation and competes as a member of UEFA.

France was one of the four European teams that participated at the inaugural World Cup in 1930. In the 1980s, led by midfielder and captain Michel Platini, the team reached semi-finals at both the 1982 and 1986 World Cups, and won the 1984 European Championship.

France then reached an even higher status in international football by being especially successful at the end of the 1990s and in the 2000s; they won the World Cup as the host nation in 1998, and the European Football Championship two years later, while also placing second at the 2006 World Cup tournament. Midfielder Zinédine Zidane was particularly instrumental in achieving those honours.

France and Argentina are the only national teams which have won the three most important men's titles organized by FIFA: the World Cup, the Confederations Cup, and the Olympic Tournament.

Uruguay National Football Team

The Uruguay national football team is controlled by the Asociación Uruguaya de Fútbol.

Uruguay is one of the most successful national football teams in the world. They have won two FIFA World Cups, including the first ever World Cup in 1930 as hosts, beating Argentina 4-2 in the final. They won their second title in 1950, upsetting hosts Brazil 2-1 in the final match. They also won the Gold Medals in football at the Summer Olympics twice, in 1924 and 1928, before the creation of the World Cup. They also won the 1980 Mundialito, a tournament among former World Cup champions Uruguay hosted in 1980 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the first World Cup.

Their success is amplified by the fact that the nation has a very small population. Uruguay is the only country in the world to win a World Cup with a general population of under 4 million inhabitants and is by far the smallest nation to do so. The second smallest country to have won the World Cup is Argentina with a total population of over 40 million people. Uruguay is also the smallest country ever to win any World Cup medals. In fact, only six nations with populations smaller than Uruguay's have ever participated in any World Cup: Northern Ireland (3 times), Wales, Kuwait, Jamaica, Slovenia and Trinidad and Tobago. Uruguay is also the smallest nation to win Olympic gold medals in any team sport. This latter achievement might recently have been surpassed by Iceland, which lost the 2008 Olympic final in handball.

Uruguay is also the smallest member nation of CONMEBOL, South American Football Association. Nethertheless, Uruguayan national team also have won the Copa América 14 different times, a record it shares with Argentina.

However, the level of the Uruguay national team has decreased lately as Uruguay has only qualified on one occasion in the last 4 World Cups, although it remains a strong team in South America, having reached third place and fourth place in the last two Copa América tournaments, respectively.
