Use your head




"There is no try Portugal, just head the freaki'n ball!




The Portuguese might be the first team to qualify for the quarter-finals with an impressive win against the Czechs, but there are some chinks in the armour despite the 3-1 win. Portugal are still weak in clearing headers, a disease that they have been having since the 2004 Euro, which they hosted when they lost to Greece in the final...yes! You guessed it! Through a headed goal, it was the only goal of the game and it was scored through a corner. The Czech's only goal was from a header.


The Czechs bombarded long crosses into the Portuguese box for their teamates to head the ball, but the misses went begging like sidewinder missiles missing their targets. The Czechs will rue their chances, as it might cause them a place in the quarter-finals, but Cristiano Ronaldo and company must learn from this and learn it fast they must (Do i sound like Yoda here?)because the Germans or Croats will not be so forgiving if Portugal meet them.


Meanwhile Switzerland the hosts went out of the tournament like air suddenly let out of the ballon. Losing 2-1 to the Turks, well such is life and such is football.

Today Germany will take on Croatia a 2-2 draw I predict (Yoda again!!!)and Austria will take on Poland with Poland eliminating the co-hosts.

Spain and Sweden meanwhile seem to be on track in a predictable group with wins against Russia and Greece.
