Bye-bye Euesbio

Now, there is no doubt about the greatest Portuguese footballer alive.  While Luis Figo may throw his hat into the ring, it was always really a contest between the man from Mozambique and the man from Madeira.  Curious that both should not have been born in the Iberian heartland.  When Cristiano Ronaldo became the individual who had scored most goals for the Portuguese national team, Eusebio, whose record CR7 had just broken, had a fit of sour grapes, saying he didn't score his goals against no-mark teams such as Luxembourg but against the very best, when selection for the World Cup and European Championships involved more stringent qualification groups.  Well, as Ronaldo still has many more years as a professional, he is likely to grab as many goals as to qualitatively be on a par with Eusebio.  Yet the debate as to who was the greatest will never end unless Ronaldo hauls his team to a World or European victory.
