Portugal vs Germany<o></o>
First half:
Under 1 -168 (3 units)
<o></o>
For the match:
Draw +226 (1.5 units)
<o></o>
Under 2.5 -167 (6 units)
<o></o>
Germany +0.5 -148 (2.5 units)
<o></o>
I see it 0-0 at the half, and 1-1 at end of regulation time. If does stay scoreless at the half, second half over 1 with juice will be a play. Extra time is where – in all probability – Portugal will win it. If they don’t, and go to penalty kicks…then anything goes.

2008 Euro Championship YTD: 34W - 35L - 10T (-15.09 units)
(June 6th props to win Euro 2008 go head-to-head...)
Spain +550 (8.5 units)<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

Ironically enough, a Francesco Totti would have been of great value in this game. A flop on the international stage? Yes, without a doubt. Nonetheless, a magician with ball control skills and vision to slow the tempo against offensive minded teams like Spain. Same could be said for defender Alessandro Nesta. Much, much more skilled on defense than Materazzi (a red card waiting to happen). Both would have been of tremendous value, to say the least.
Loss of Pirlo was paramount. Italy's dangerous 4-3-1-2 will mutate to a very unpredictable 4-4-2, although I suspect a 4-3-1-2 trident of Cassano / Del Piero / Tony will be deployed.
If anything, if you are going to go out, play the players who deserve to be on the pitch. I suspect Donadoni will start Ambrosini at midfield, but I would rather have Aquilani from the 1st minute, instead of a second half substitute. Why the hell not make it an all Roma midfield?
Lack of:
A) creativity up front
B) leadership on defense
will hurt. Thought the Dutch were the most disciplined team to come out of the first round. Take nothing away from Russia, but in todays match, back 4 for Netherlands were disorganized and nervous, unable and incapable to really feed central midfielders. I doubt Spain will disappoint in this department.
