I agree with Diane, if the Bosnians score early they're going to make the Greeks look like the Philadelphia Flyers. An early goal would kill this game exactly because they'd know that Portugal would then need 2.

1-1 or 1-0 game is probably how this is going to end.

And I also agree with VFF, Ronaldo has completely mailed in his form for Portugal, but I think a lot of the blame for that is identical as the blame Messi takes, they're just not being used the same way as with their clubs because their countries just dont have the same kind of talent.

Germany/Holland:

Pretty strong teams fielded here. For Germany the only notable changes are Dennis Aogo instead of Philip Lahm and Miroslav Klose instead of Mario Gomez.

For Holland, the only name I dont recognize is Kevin Strootman and aside from that the only notable omission is Robin van Persie, so both sides leaving out the big guns but fielding strong teams.

Klose with the armband tonight.
