Will Nani outshine Manchester United's other Portugeezer at Euro 2008 - or will the Arsenal-Liverpool connection win it for Spain?
There will be plenty of Premier League players on show in Austria and Switzerland this summer and if the Old Trafford duo are on form, the Portuguese have a great chance of lifting the trophy. Equally, Spain have two potential world-beaters in Cesc Fabregas and Fernando Torres.

Many representatives from the Premier League will be strutting their stuff at Euro 2008 in Austria and Switzerland this summer.
Players such as Ryan Babel (Liverpool), Wilfred Bouma (Aston Villa), Ricardo Carvalho (Chehsea) and Nico Kranjcar (Portsmouth) could all make a decent impression.
There are, however, four big names who could steal the show not just for themselves but for their country by helping them lift the Henri Delauney Trophy in Vienna. It's no surprise then that all four play for clubs in the top four.
Manchester United are represented by Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani, Arsenal have Cesc Fabregas and Liverpool are represented by Fernando Torres.

Robin van Persie, Rosicky, will have their usual impact on tournaments

Nani, what has he ever really done? Ronaldo? There will be half decent teams at the tournament so he will go missing in most games. CHOKERS!

did anybody see nani against chelsea yesterday? comical.

I agrre both Nani and Ronaldo are big game chokers, Torres is better, although Ronaldo does the exact same job, both score goals, but nothing more. I don't even know what Nani does. Does anyone?

I think Ronaldo will disappear like he usually does when he's got better defenders on him. i look forward to seeing bezenma and ribery..tho i think germany will win it all

How can you compare ronaldo to torres?? ronaldo scores goals and creates goals, and scores away from home, everyone one here slaughtering ronaldo is a joke, he is a winger who has scored 38 goals this season, if he was in your team i dont think you would be complaining!!

ronaldo is a cheat. how we forget rooneys threat to rip him in 2 after being sent off for england....but then again once a blue always blue. what is it about man u, players fans managers, that they are so short sighted! so utterly predictable and laughable it's boring!!!!

First off... I want to say that I am Portuguese, and I take offense to the world 'Portugueezer' Secondly, For anyone to sit at a computer and write that C. Ronaldo sucks, or is a choker.. is obviously jealous, or does not know what they are talking about. C. Ronaldo has scored 40 goals this year in midfield position.
That is a feat that is incredible. Nani is a great player as well, but Nani has much to learn. He is young and will learn with time, but will never equal the player that C. Ronaldo is.
