Rise and Shine Mr.Baros

Euro2008 is panning out fantastically well, both the hosts are already knocked out, for all practical purposes. The reigning champions, winners four years ago, Greece are already out without scoring even one goal. The world cup winners and runners up from two years ago will be fighting tooth and nail for a spot in the last 8. There is also a possibility of an exit for both of them should Romania win against a what would mostly be a Dutch reserve team on the same day.

Portugal vs Switzerland
Coming to today's fixtures, Portugal are already through to the next stage and will most likely rest most of their big names. They take on Switzerland who are already out of the competition, but the swiss however would want to sign off on a winning note.

Player to look out for:Luis Nani, who will be in starting 11 for the first time in this tournament.




Score prediction: 2-0 in favor of Portugal

Czech Vs Turkey
This is where the real battle lies, both teams have won a game each and are looking for a spot in the quarterfinals. Turkey has never won against the Czech and their previous meetings stand at a cumulative score of 13-2 in favor of the Czech. If the game results in a draw after 90 minutes then there will be a penalty shootout to decide who goes to the next stage, oh boy!


Player to look out for:Milan Baros



Score predicton: 1-0 in favor of Czech

PS:My net seems to be ok finally, still it disconnects at its own will but not as bad as before. yippie :D
