I haven't a lot of expactions for Portugal participation, just hope this will be the start of a nice new team for Portugal. A semifinal would be nice.
Guess Italy or France will make to the title.

P.S.: CZ team looks promizing tho.

most of the players are too old, and Rosicky is injured :(

About Portugal - well, they've got lots of big names with experience. I really want to see Moutinho in action. I've heard lots of good things about him :)

Moutinho is a really nice player, but i think bosingwa will but the biggest revelation of the team, at least to european eyes.

Czechs need to step up their game if they're not to be beaten by the bigger teams - They aren't the same without Nedved.

The entire team has gotten older + Baros can't hit shit anymore. They need some new youngsters.

Turkey look better when they are attacking to be honest.

But Portugal have too much quality not to win I think. Lol at Tuncay's dive.

I don't think you understand me.

Portugal probably attacked more in the first half, but when Turkey got on the counter attack I personally thought they looked more dangerous. Portugal created very little and lacked penetration.

Of course, this changed in the second half.

But Portugal had the quality players to win them the match Turkey did not.

Was hoping to see Hakan Sukur come on :p

I understood you, just don't think turkey was that dangerous tbh. They looked more dangerous because they were facing 4-5 defensors, while Portugal always had 8+ defensors to deal with. And our goalkeeper didn't touched the ball in first part once. So, yes the may have looked a bit dangerous, but they were not really dangerous...if you understand what i mean :)

Well, the way I saw it was that they played quite well up front and looked dangerous, but couldn't see them scoring.

I'd choose Quaresma for the next game - Simao wasn't too great.

Watching football and smoking grass doesn't fit.

There is a clear difference between watching the game and just looking at the statistics.

In same periods of the game, Turkey looked promising on the counter attack especially.
