Portuguese left praying

The World Cup finals next year could go ahead without the world's most expensive player after Cristiano Ronaldo failed to find the sparkle to raise Portugal’s game in a World Cup qualifying draw in Denmark.
Ronaldo could be also joined by French stars such as Franck Ribery and Thierry Henry watching the World Cup on the sidelines next summer unless France raises its game quickly.
After a l-l draw against Romania in the Stade de France. Les Bleus now go to Group 7 leaders Serbia on Wednesday needing a victory to stay in with a chance of direct qualification for South Africa.
Portugal meanwhile can write off any hope of direct qualification after a 1 -1 draw against the Group 1 leaders Denmark, and need the help of others in the group if they are to even get a play-off chance.
"We have a leg and a half outside... now only praying will help us." the sports newspaper 0 logo said Sunday.
The star-studded Portuguese are only fourth with 10 points in the group behind Denmark (17), Hungary (13) and Sweden (12). The match in Hungary on Wednesday could seal their fate.
"We have to raise our heads and keep believing. The game is not over and while it lasts we have to believe. ’ coach Carlos Queiroz said.
Real Madrid s star signing Ronaldo came in for criticism for his sub-par performance, with Publico accusing the winger of having a "giant ego’ but being "absent" on the pitch in Copenhagen.
Ronaldo himself said: "We are sad because
we know we are better. Qualification is now no longer down to us but we still believe in it
France, the 1998 World Cup winners who were also runners-up in 2006. were jeered off the pitch after the I T draw against Romania, and have an uphill struggle for qualification.
Coach Raymond Domenech, who hung on to his job after a poor Euro 2008. sees his side four points behind leaders Serbia. Not all is lost, but France will need to beat the Serbs in Belgrade.
It was a disappointing evening in Paris after Henry’s opener soon after the break was quickly cancelled out by an own goal from Julien Escude.
"The top spot is still up for grabs. 1 repeat it would have been better to win but we just have to regroup and focus on Wednesday. We have to show character," Domenech said.
European champions Spain have had no such problems, with their 5-0 win over Belgium their seventh out of seven in Group 5. Novy six points clear with three games to go, qualification now seems a formality and could even come on Wednesday.
England are another team close to qualifying. knowing a win over Croatia at Wembley on Wednesday means they cannot be caught in Group 6.
World champions Italy also stayed on course with a 2-0 win in Georgia - courtesy of two own goals from AC Milan defender Kakha Kaladze -but Ireland kept on their heels with a 2-1 win in Cyprus.
Italy have 17 points to Ireland's 16, but the Azzurri have a game in hand. That comes Wednesday in TUrin when Bulgaria (11) are the visitors fresh from a 4-2 defeat of Montenegro to maintain their outside chances.
