Portugal 2004
2004 as a 4-2-3-1
Luiz Felipe Scolari·4-2-3-1
87OVR
Scolari's 2004 Portugal. Figo still the face, Deco the brain, Ronaldo arriving, and a home Euros that ended in the strangest final of the decade.
Chemistry 90, overall 87. Neither number is a FIFA card from a shop.
Highest rated: Luís Figo. Not a slight on Deco — the scale is era-relative and a bit argumentative on purpose.
What they actually did that year: UEFA European Championship runners-up — home soil. Also on the list: Figo, Deco, young Ronaldo, and a final vs Greece.

Where it hurts
Possession sits at 58, not a religion. Counter-attack 80: the point is the break, not the concert. Width 82: both touchlines in play. Midfield 90 is where this side actually lives.
