MD5 Predictions

CZE vs POR: We already saw, in their previous encounter against the Swiss, how dodgy the Czech defence is. Though Gomes did not seem very prolific, there are other match winners in portugal. Baros might play this game with Pasil being a doubt. The Czechs might switch to a 4-4-2 with Baros and Koller upfront. It all depends on how well Pepe deals with Koller. When Senderos supressed Koller, I don't think it will be a problem for Pepe/Carvalho. I think the Portuguese will win. This is defenitely a match to watch.
I am predicting CZE 1 - 2 POR. The Baros factor might help the Czechs pull one off. But, their sluggish defence will suffer from pacy counter attacks.
SUI vs TUR: The turks lacked adventure in thier game against Portugal. They seemed to stand still when they allowed a centre back run into the box. The swiss at the same time tried everything they could against the Czechs. And the did it well. Comparing these performances, it looks like the home side are going to win it. But, the will badly miss Frei. The fans surely will give them an edge. How will the Swiss deal with the loss of Frei would be the deciding factor. This one is going to be close. I would say SUI 1 - TUR 1
Deco, Ronaldo, Baros, Barnetta, Nihat: Two of them could score.

Portugal are too hot for the Czech's to handle and this is an important tie in Group A as the runners up of this group will play the Germans and any team would certainly be keen to avoid them this early :P
Second game, Swiss will edge out a 1-0 nervy win :) I fancy Sendoros to be on target :D
