All the Portuguese football dailies are now really piling on the pressure for Bento to start with Nelson Oliveira on Wednesday against Denmark. He's the main story on the cover of A Bola and he's the only selecção story on the cover or Record. He scored a hat-trick in the main training game yesterday, which was open to the press, so that seems to have made their mind up.

A pity Paulo Bento didn't see it as obvious a month ago and given Oliveira a decent run up to the tournament.
