Matchday 9

Sunday, 15 June 08, 08:20 AM · Comments(1)

I watched some of Greece - Russia last night because i was also watching our national team play. A very important and deserved win for Russia. Good adjustment in the Russian defence, much better that the previous game. What a battle they will have against Sweden on Wednesday. As for the defending champions, their reign is over. They used to not concede any goals in Euro 2004, now they can't even score a goal as they are the only team left out of the 16 with no goals scored.

So I got both winners right yesterday, wrong scores. As for my predictions today:

Switzerland 0 - 2 Portugal - I would love Switzerland to get a point as they haven't been so bad in their 2 previous games, but I dont see it. I expect Portugal to win even if they rest their key players. Almeida and Nani to score.

Czech Republic 2 - 1 Turkey - The match of the night, winner to the next round. Funny how we could see a penalty shootout in the group stage. I'm predicting a later winner by the Czechs. Koller and Baros for the Czechs, and Nihat for Turkey.
