11th June: Czech Rep v Portugal

[kompressaur]

17:00 Czech Republic (4.9) Draw (3.4) Portugal (1.92)

Czech 4.9 with Pinnacle and as low as 3.75 with Totesport

Portugal @ 10/11 for me. I'd be on the handicap but i can't justify the slightly better odds with no out and out striker. Can't see the Czechs getting anything from this game based on how they played against Switzerland.

bah i was hoping the Czech's were gonna be all the rage. Surely theyre a better side than they showed v Switzerland? i never saw the game and cant comment. Hows team news for Czech? i so dearly want to back against the Portugese

same for me as well didnt rate Portugal pre tournament but i thought they played well against the Turks. Czachs were terrible in their first game and based on btoh 1st round performances youd have to fancy Portugal.

bah are you sure Cinny? Wont the portugese just be under achievers again here and wont the Czech's start to show a bit of the czech class that has stood them so well in tournies like this for the past 15 years? The Czech's do ok uaully dont they? I really can't lose this need to back Czech feeling. shame i dont know enough to justify it. I might just back them so as i can shout them on v the Portuguse. I hate portugal im sorry and ...bah. I will wait and see

[Cinny]

I think that Portugals attacking style of play and quick, nippy players can create a lot of chances against the Czechs. I dont think Portugal will win the whole thing at all though but can win tonight.

[Punter]

Didn't Pepe get forward on several occasions at set pieces, corners etc and score for Portugal last time out? I'm surprised to see him score at anytime @ 11/1 with Paddy P's. I'm just going in for some of that along with first and last scorer @ 28/1.
I'll also add Quaresma anytime @ 9/2 Paddy P's and last scorer @ 12/1 Ladbrokes, he's on the bench but i expect him to come on and hopefully make an impact second half.

5 x 2.00 wins

Last chance for 11/2 Portugal outright here too, i'm hoping that'll be gone after tonight.

shit i really cant back the czechs can i. I do think Portugal will win it. I might like the look of the Czech price but im looking at it with a bit of bias. My hearts on the Czech win. I like the sound of your goalscorer bets Kop but i really cant bring myself to shout on the portuguese im sorry. I dont know why i hate them so much. I hate them as much as i hate Chelsea. I think its the Ronaldo factor and i still havent forgiven them for knocking England out the world cup. We're talking betting here and not football so i will stop right here. Im away to have a press of some buttons in interest bets inly. good luck with your bets chaps. Bah i should go with the smart money and be on Portugal. i cant do it to myself. Didnt Czech Rep have a good qualifying campaign? Poland beat Portugal in qualifying didnt they? one swallow does not make a summer etc. Aye im for....no bet

sod it-

2 or 3 goals @ 10/11 4PTS
Draw @ 11/5 3PTS

man what an ill thought out bet. Nah its solid enough. I cant make my mind up abou thte 1,2,x so usually then the draw is my best option. Go on the draw

[milners]

mmm i think Portugal is far too short. The Czech Rep admitted themselfs they was pretty poor against Switzerland but i think the price of Portugal who was 11/8 before the first lot of games and now under evens is wrong. I fancy a draw tonight but I think 5/1 for the Czech Rep is a fantastic price - well it was 6 early on betfair

I wouldn't listen to me as i'm have a right mare with Euro 2008. Seems to be a favs tournment so far.

[kompressaur]

man i hate Portugal Milners i really do come on the Czechs get back into this

[kompressaur]

bah Ronaldo and co broke my heart. I couldnt get both bets up but i wouldnt have complained if the score had stayed the same or the Czech Rep had scored. That wasnt to be and my hatreed for Portugal lives on

[Punter]

I'll also add Quaresma anytime @ 9/2 Paddy P's and last scorer @ 12/1 Ladbrokes, he's on the bench but i expect him to come on and hopefully make an impact second half.

Came on with 10 mins to go and scored the last. Marvellous

[BelfastPunter]

PORTUGAL PLAY WELL GOING FORWARD BUT DEFENDING SET PIECES THEY ARE PURE CRAP!! IM NOT COMPLAINING AS I GOT MY MONEY BACK I LOST ON FRANCE! AS A MANCHESTER UTD FAN I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY RONALDO IS A DIVING CUNT,, NEVER NOTICED IT BEFORE =)

[Cinny]

very unlucky komp, just when portugal looked like conceding they bagged that third goal. By god they are bad at the back, Pepe looks very very poor and their failure to deal with set pieces is going to cost them dear later on in the tournament. Is it just me or have Germany got a simple route to the final. Im going to get on them tomorrow with 10/3 still available.
