I'm currently re-watching Portugal v Netherlands. This was Ronaldo's best game in a Portugal jersey. 2004 SF vs Holland, Spain friendly last year and the Bosnia playoff second leg are the other standouts.
As much as I would like to see a repeat performance from him, I see a drop off coming. Not because the Czechs are so good, it's because the Dutch were so bad on Sunday. They were embarassing.
I expect Portugal to win, but this will be a lot closer than many portugal fans think. I hope Bento gives Almeida the start up front. I haven't seen anything from Postiga to warrant a 4th consecutive start and Oliveira is good as a sub to use his speed against some tired legs.
