Yep, that's the big Dutch and Spanish problem in such tournaments. I really do hope not this time, but we'll have to wait and see.

[Lunatic]

4 hours until the Portugal game, cant wait! Scolari has made 5 changes to the lineup apparently

The apparent lineup:

Treinador Luiz Felipe Scolari
1 | Ricardo GR
13 | Miguel LD
15 | Pepe DC
16 | Ricardo Carvalho DC
2 | Paulo Ferreira LE
18 | Miguel Veloso MD
6 | Raul Meireles MD
10 | Moutinho MO
17 | Quaresma AD
7 | Ronaldo AV
23 | Hélder Postiga AV

Scolari also said he'll use all 3 subs, I imagine:
Nani For Ronaldo from the beginning of the 2nd half
Alves/Meira For Carvalho 60th minute
?? about the third maybe Ribiero for Ferreira

lol i know, so was i..i'd be surprised if turkey gets out the group. As a portugal fan i'd love to see them against us in the semi's lol

[Kill]

^ do you know if Ronaldo's gonna play tonight? There almost has to be some B-Team stuff going on in this one

I doubt Turkey can beat the Czechs, not that it's impossible though

Ricardo
Miguel (regular: bosingwa)
Fernando Meira (regular: carvalho)
Pepe
Paulo Ferreira
Raul Meirerles (regular: deco)
Miguel Veloso (regular: petit)
Ricardo Quaresma (regular: ronaldo)
Joao Moutinho
Nani (regular: simao)
Hugo Almeida (regular: gomes)

I predict 4-0 Portugal

[Kill]

Don't think it's gonna be that high, although this goes to show just how strong Portugal is at the monent. 7/10 field players straight off the bench and it's still all quality. Nevertheless, lapsed as they might be, I think the Swiss will at least try to leave this tournament in style and maybe with a point. I doubt they're gonna get there, but a 4-0 would be pretty damn harsh.

...props on providing the line-up by the way
