No rift with Figo, insists Scolari

No rift with Figo, insists Scolari

Portugal coach Luiz Felipe Scolari insisted he and skipper Luis Figo had not
fallen out following the side's nailbiting Euro 2004 quarter-final win over
England.

Figo, at 31 desperate finally to taste glory at international level for the
Portuguese, who have never won a major trophy, was furious when Scolari
hauled him off with 15 minutes of normal time remaining against England,
sending on Helder Postiga who promptly equalised and forced extra-time.

Personal comments:
Leave him out of the team and Portugal have a chance of winning.
