[Group A] Switzerland - Portugal

I don't know if Portugal will play with some kind of B squad or not, but they should win this anyway. May end up as a draw as well, if the Swiss are lucky.

We're probably playing with 5 or 6 backup players. It's a good game to see what Quaresma and Nani can do.

This is basically a friendly game, I'm almost tempted to watch the Czech-Turkey game instead, lol.

Try 8. And the game has been better than I expected, especially with the added bonus of lots of dirty elbows and blood all over the place, but I doubt I'll bother watching the second half.

Fuckin useless linesman - that was a good half yard onside.

Just as well nothing is riding on this game

A mixture of shit referee's and underperforming favourites is costing me a fortune in this tournament.

portugal win would have netted me 150 royal foyles.

Shit game. Wish I watched Turkey instead.

Our B-team was poor as it had already proven to be in the last friendly before the Euro. Of course, the fact we played with 3 defensive midfielders didn't help. If there's an injury on our starting 11, we're fucked.

Quaresma was shockingly bad today too. Seems like he was trying more to "make an impression" than to play for the team as well as he can.

Yeah I've heard that Quaresmo is a bit like that. Talented, but cocky, selfish and up his own arse.

Sometimes he is like that, sometimes he makes the difference. His good games are often like Ronaldo's, you don't see much of him during the whole game... except for the goals and assists. But Ronaldo is a lot more of a team player nowadays.

He sent in one hell of a cross in the first half for Postiga. I didn't even realize he'd gone behind his own foot until I saw the replay. Reminiscent of the first time I saw him play for Barca during their tour of the U.S. back in 2003.

But the match went so wrong for Portugal. Instead of being a walk-in-the-park and a formality more than anything else, now they're in card-trouble and the loss might have hit their confidence.
