Portugal B put in a shabby performance and deservedly so lost to the Swiss in a mean nothing game. Portugal dressed a whopping 8 new players from their starting squad and left Ronaldo, Deco, Sima, Carvalho all on the bench. No big deal, they'll be fresh for Thursday.
I can't think of one Portuguese player who was good today. Pepe was alright, I think he's been of the best players for Portugal so far this tourney. But this was a game for some of the non starters to show their stuff, but guys like Quaresma really didn't perform. Nani.....god man, I love you because you wear a Portugal jersey, but Christ, get off the ground man and stop your whining, you're only embarassing yourself and county. Postiga wasn't bad up front and I wouldn't mind seeing him in for Nuno Gomes on Thursday, but that won't happen. Anyways, first place in the group, can't ask for anything else, so I'm happy.
GO AUSTRIA GO!!! Wishful thinking, but I would love to avoid the Germans, but I don't think that's gonna happen.
