Czech Republic - Portugal

[mugsgame]

Mark,

On one of your previous posts (Greece - Russia) http://www.betangel.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=6259 I asked you about you sources, involvement and gave some advise about how i felt you should proceed with future posts.

You did not reply and have carried on in the same vein with 2 further posts.

Do you not feel your credibility you be enhanced if you answered the concerns raised. I fear if you do not I doubt anyone will take anything you post seriously and as such you are wasting your time.

Until you have given a clear explanation I advise anyone reading these posts not to click on the links.

Yes Mugs, this guy only seems to put up these posts , like they are copied and pasted from some blogger with a link to the source probably for commission. no other input to the forum so i have to agree.

Let's improve the topic then!

Probably, this is the easiest match to Portugal so far, after facing Germany, Denmark and Holland and this is the hardest game to the czechs so far. That said, one would think it's a no brainer, but I'm a bit worried with Portugal.

Portugal has a good team that is taylor made to play against stronger teams, as we have really talented players at the front, but they need open space to show their football.

If you look at recent performances, Portugal failed against defense tight teams, both in the preparation matches as in the qualifiers.

Expecting the czechs to start the game with all men behind the ball, it doesn't make me too confident.

Adicionally, I'm afraid players might be relaxed against an easier team.

The first minutes can be crucial to understand how the match will pan out, but I'm keen on laying whoever scores first on this match and unders.

Rosicky won't play on the starting eleven, according to As.

I don't think the Czech's have enough to put Portugal out. But Portugal often look a little one dimensional.

Right team one. Portugal should habe won by more than one goal.

Hi traders, ive been reading what you think about portugal and germany and id just like to share a few ideas with you. I had a post up a little while back about why i thought germany would not win the tournament and might i say alot disagreeded with me. my personal thought is that it will be between 3 teams in the end, spain and italy and france.
Portugal are a good alround side and i think when Ronaldo does play he is a threat,however i think he is only one man when u look at spain on the other hand they have a few men with the same class. i do think that spain are the team to beat.

Hi Peter, agree on that one, Ronaldo has hit the bar or the post 4 times in the past 2 games, what's the odd on that?

smartypants59, of course Spain is much more solid team than Portugal, but I wouldn't say that's because of the individual talents, simply if you look at Spain's starting eleven, usually 7 of them play together all year and they have all sorts of mechanisms really well oiled, that's their biggest advantage.

I think that's an important point. It's great having individuals but the best teams play well together, they are almost telepathic.
