The Fountain of Youth



The skill and leadership of Figo...

The vision and elegance of Rui Costa...

The trickery and elusiveness of João Pinto...

The speed and power of Eusébio...

The control and efficiency of Mario Coluna...

The tenacity and commitment of Sergio Conceição...

If you could offer any three retired Portuguese internationals - such as those mentioned above - a sip of water from the fountain of youth, who would you bring back into the fold to help us at this summer's World Cup?

Personally, I'd choose the following:

1. Eusebio - to have a legitimate threat up front for 90 minutes
2. Figo - to serve as our team captain and lead us to victory
3. Rui Costa - to pull the strings from midfield and provide fluidity

On deck:

4. Mario Coluna
5. João Pinto
