Portugal (3) vs Czech Republic (1)
Turkey (2) vs Switzerland (1)

Deco scored, Ronaldo scored, Quaresmo scored! This is the power of Scolari's dominant team. Deco fired the leading goal 8 minutes into the game. You won't believe the 'mess' that took place when Deco was in the penalty area with the ball. That moment literally had be holding my breath because he almost tripped before kicking the ball into the net. Ronaldo's chances to the goal were all blocked initially until after half time when he fired past a wall of the Czechs. There were several close calls when Ronaldo was in possession of the ball. He kept advancing towards Czech's goalkeeper Cech but just couldn't fire that goal although there were several shots on target. After half time, he fired the power goal giving Portugal the second goal.
A well timed pass to Quaresmo in the additional one minute sealed Portugal's advancement into the quater-finals! Go PORTUGAL!
The Czech's did fairly well with Sionko scoring one goal but not well enough to beat power team of Portugal.

Next game:
