		Another 16 years later, a talented Portuguese squad made it to a World Cup final stage in Japan and Korea, but there they bitterly disappointed their fans by losing to the USA (2-3) and Korea (0-1) on their way out after the first round.

		To tackle the World Cup challenge, Scolari will continue to rely on the same bloc and the playing system used in the qualifiers: two defensive midfielders, three offensive midfielders of which two as quasi-wingers and one playing "in the hole", and a single striker.
