Italy still fresh from the 0-3 lost to Netherlands while Romania is sitting pretty in Group C with 1 point after their opening goal-less draw against France.

Many Italian fans are in a shocked after their dismal display, Defensively, the Italians were poor. Since when do we get a chance to criticize Italian defence? Not often though!
So Donadoni better revamp his team quick, if not Italy will go home very soon. I am confident Donadoni will bring in Del Piero for this match.

Meanwhile, the Romanian will be confident ahead of their match against the Italians. Romania will be looking for their first win over Italy since 19 years ago in a friendly in Sibiu.
Once again, Romania will be banking on top hit-man Adrian Mutu to produce the goals.
Oh yeah, this match takes place on Friday the 13th and id the 13th match of the 13th European Championship. However, the unlucky number for Italy is 17! I don’t know why.. Anybody knows why 17 is the unlucky number for Italy?

Portugal Reaches Euro 2008 Quarterfinals as Switzerland Exits
By James Cone

June 12 (Bloomberg) -- Portugal became the first team to reach the quarterfinals of soccer's European Championship as co- host Switzerland was knocked out by an injury-time goal.
Portugal, seeking its first major title, beat the Czech Republic 3-1 in Geneva yesterday after Cristiano Ronaldo scored one goal and set up another. Turkey will vie with the Czechs for the other quarterfinal spot from Group A after defeating Switzerland 2-1.

Love Ronaldo's style and techniques. He has a charm of its own.

Deco's Opener
Portugal took an eighth-minute lead with Deco's fourth goal in 55 international appearances. The Brazil-born midfielder scrambled the ball in after goalkeeper Petr Cech blocked Ronaldo's shot and initially thwarted Deco.
The Czechs tied it nine minutes later, when Sionko scored with a diving header from a Jaroslav Plasil corner.

You are hot!I love you Cristiano!You turn me on!

Baros, without a goal since Dec. 22, again was unable to turn the ball in from close range as a Tomas Ujfalusi header flashed across the goal after 61 minutes.

First-time Shot
Portugal was ahead less than a minute later. Ronaldo, who is being courted by Real Madrid, ran onto a pass from Deco and struck a low first-time shot into the corner of the net.
Koller joined Baros as the Czechs searched for a goal to tie the match. Sionko came closest with a 10-yard header, which goalkeeper Ricardo tipped over the crossbar. Ronaldo broke through in injury time and passed for Quaresma to tap in.

Victory! But for now only..you still have few matches to go.

In today's matches, Germany and Croatia meet in Group B after both winning their opening games. Austria, the other co- host, faces Poland.
