While some coaches lose sleep over the form of their teams, Portugal's Carlos Queiroz said half-jokingly that a lack of goals had contributed to his hair loss.

"If there is one major contribution in my life that caused most of my hair loss it is poor finishing," Queiroz told reporters on Friday, pointing to his bald patch.

"In terms of attacking potential we've had problems since the start."

Portugal struggled in their first few World Cup qualifiers, goal-scoring problems meaning they needed a late surge to reach the finals in South Africa.

"In the away game against Denmark something almost unheard of occurred, we had 36 shots and scored just once," said Queiroz.

That goal, which earned a 1-1 draw against the eventual group winners, was scored by Brazilian-born forward Liedson on his debut after he had obtained Portuguese citizenship.

The Sporting striker was a valuable addition to the team, netting twice more as Portugal improved their scoring record later in qualifying with the wingers, midfielders and defenders all chipping in.
