Every team in this Euro, even the ones who went out after group stages are capable of producing upsets, no game is as clear cut as some people think. I still voted Portugal to win, but we could have a real nail biter on our hands.

News here was that the Czechs had announced that Rosicky wouldn't start.

Portugal starting 11 will be the same as in the last 3 games. Patricio, Coentrão-Alves-Pepe-Pereira, Meireles-Moutinho-Veloso, Ronaldo-Nani-Postiga.

I've heard that Rosicky is starting though, giving him injections etc.

Rosicky will not be playing. Upset? Don't think so, unless we will somehow improve our game by 100%.

Team manager Vladimir Smicer told Czech Television: "Tomas will certainly not play from the first minute. But if we should be in trouble towards the end of the match we might use him."

Ooo i see now xD

Portugal may be the favorite but I'm quite sure it will be a close game. My spider sense are telling me it will go to penalties.

This is even easier to pick than Greece vs Germany tommorow.
Portugal all the way, 2/3-0.

Without Rosicky, I anticipate Czech Republic to be spending most of the game defending.
However, I don't think they're defense is particularly good. That 2nd half against Greece was really like walking on ice.

Yeah but unless Portugal starts the game with a different attitude than usual our regular attack when in command of the game is slow and almost harmless unless one of our wingers is in a good day. We are good in transitions and fast play due to the nature of our forwards but not so offensive as needed in a game where the other team gives us full control of the ball and presents a strong physical defense (this is in part due to the characteristics of our midfielders). And I believe that that is going to be the Czechs strat and smartly so.

This is going to be a really tight game, more than most people are thinking imho. Still I believe in Portugal for a 2-1 win in 90mins.

He's strong, but he hasn't shown it this tournament imo.

This it the perfect chance for Ronaldo to overshadow Messi this year.
If Ronaldo comes up with the goods like in the previous game, I don't see CZE having a chance really. Although I predict super saves from Cech nonetheless.
