I was born in Prague and I like this Czech team. Why? Remember all those years they were ranked #2 in the word behind Brazil? Czechs have soccer in their blood like they have hockey. They had Nedved and Koller (who pulled a hamstring in game 1 in the last Euro Cup) and they missed the World Cup a couple years ago. They changed the coach and added youth and qualified for Euro 2012. They are going to surprise a lot of you guys over the next few years. Such a small country to boot.
Despite all there injuries even in the tourney, they still won group A. Don't underestimate this Czech team. They won the Euro Cup one, lost 2-1 against Germany in 1996 and lost in the semi finals against Greece in OT (who won it all)in 2004.
Dobre vecer!

Yes they won their super tough group which consisted of the geeks, pollacks, and commies. This was dubbed the group of debt for a reason as the Czechs won their group despite having a negative goal differential!! How fitting. On the flip side, the pork chops advanced out of the group of DEATH which only consisted of the dutchies, Danes, and tournament favorites, zeh kaiser germanics! The porktuguese only lost to doucheland by 1 and they really could have drawn that game. Then they went on to beat an underated Danish squad, and then toppled the Oranje who have top tier players at almost every position! Let's look at the squads: for the Portuguese, they only have Ronaldo( I cannot stand him but is top 3 strikers in the world) along with nani on the flank which i think will cause a lot of problems for this czech defense which conceded how many vs the Reds??? For the Czechs, they have Rosicky in their midfield who i understand is questionable to start. Now when you have such a vital midfielder missing, i believe this can create many problems not only in attack and distribution, but also helping retaining possession coming out of their own 1/3. With all of this said, like always anything can happen. While on paper i see the pork chops as considerable favorites, i also can see a 1-1 draw at the end of the 90 as a possibility. As we saw Greece win it 2 euros ago, any heavy underdog can win. And if the Czechs do manage to pull of a minor miracle, it will confirm for me that there is fixing going on in this tournament, which honestly shouldn't be a surprise at all.(We dont have to mention the greasy Italians and their recent match fixing scandal with Juventus, AGAIN, as well as Chelsea and their gazillionaire owner winning the champions league with 10 men vs Barca ,HA! and then beating munchen in Germany!) I see the public being on the pork chops which is the only concern, because if the fix is in, we know which side will prevail. I hope no one will be bought out because i have my $ on Ronaldo and his team.
it wasn't meant to be harsh. Why would you say that? lol $1000 or $10 who cares. Isn't this a place to discuss sports?guy posts a dime on portugal and you write go Czech go...wow...that's harsh. I might have to cheer for portugal just for that (and i took 'em to score 2 or more)
good luckhttp://www.therxforum.com/member.php?u=81048 yoders
