Alarming slump for Portugal

Reuters, Lisbon
Portugal missed several chances, includingaCristiano Ronaldo penalty, and were whistled off the pitch after losing 3-1 at home to Turkey on Saturday in their last friendly before Euro 2012.
The hosts started aggressively, pressed high up the pitch and seemed to be in control of the match until the defence was caught napping by Turkey winger Sercan Sararer who set up Umut Bulut foratap-inafter35minutes.
Portugal striker Hugo Almeida did little to appease the sell-out 65,000 crowd at the Luz stadium when he misplaced a pass to a team mate when it seemed easier to shoot.
The Turks, who failed to qualify for the Euros, were hardly brilliant but did at least take their chances.
Bulut added salt to Portugal's wounds by drilling in the second goal in the 52nd minute after taking advantage of a careless ball from MiguelVeloso.
Portugal pulled one back five minutes later after a flowing move ended in a a fine finish from Nani and captain Ronaldo then missed from the spot in the 65th minute following a foul on right back Miguel Lopes.
Many home fans started drifting home before Turkey's third goal came when Ricardo Costa's goalline clearance rebounded off Pepe into the net.
" rouses every player that sees him" in the words of one teammate -- is out of the tournament with a knee problem.
Meanwhile, the national team's all-time leading goal-scorer David Villa — scorer of seven goals in qualifying and five in the World Cup finals in South Africa — has not played at all since breaking a leg in December.
With Fernando Torres still grasping for a semblance of form, Roberto Soldado and Fernando Llorente could be key in attack, while Sergio Ramos is likely to assume Puyol's role in the heart of the defence.
Despite everything, Xavi hopes the momentum built up in recent years can work to Spain's advantage as they prepare to do battle in Group C against Italy, the Republic of Ireland and Croatia.
"Having a winners' mentality, having just won the World Cup, and the whole world believing in us, that's the big difference," says the 32-year-old.
Spain's place in the pantheon of great sides is already assured. Lift the Henri Delaunay trophy in Kiev on July 1, and they could consider themselves the greatest ever.
But it remains to be seen if they have the legs.
