Portugal name Robinson England's weak link

Video Safari

Portugal players are convinced goalkeeper Paul Robinson is England's weak link.

Striker Pauleta said: "I see faults in Robinson that we can exploit in Gelsenkirchen this Saturday. The England keeper is not one of their better players."
Robinson, 26, has appeared unusually hesitant in England's four World Cup games.
He has been shaky coming out for crosses and needed a superb diving block by Ashley Cole to save his blushes in the Ecuador match on Sunday.
Hitman Pauleta, 33, also told The Sun: "It is good to have team-mates at Portugal who play in the Premier League because they can tell us important details about the opposition.
"But I already know all about England's defence - what the strengths are and what their weaknesses are.
"I do not see anything inferior about Portugal compared to England."
