I just don’t see how the Czechs break through the Portuguese without both the forward position (Baros, probably) and Rosicky clicking.

The other thing on my mind as I get caught up on Portugal-Netherlands: Pepe has been great. I think we underestimate the value of having played in so many huge games, for both club and country. Obviously, he also goes haywire more than you want, but most of the time, he’s one of the few defenders in the world that can just dominate a game … any game. Not sure he’s quite doing that here, but there is a control to his movements that make it clear he’s been through these situations over and over …

They have looked decent, but nowhere near great in their group games. I’m hoping they rise to the occasion and show some dominance against Greece.

As for Portugal, they have to like their match up with Czech Republic. The teams from Groups C and D are going to have much tougher quarterfinal games.
