Portugal vs Spain Match Schedule: June 27, 2012 7:45 PM BST
Donbass Arena — Donets'k
Referee:‬ C. Çakιr‎
Vicente del Bosque: "This is the most important game of our lives. We hope that we will keep progressing and stay in the elite of football. We have spent the whole of our lives looking for a style and now we have one that has been successful. Yet there are always people who are not satisfied. Our philosophy has got us here. I would prefer [Portugal] to play deep. I like us to be in the opposition's half and to have possession of the ball. I think that we have the players and the resources to open up defences."(Yahoo)
Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal)
Portugal's Player to Watch: Cristiano Ronaldo. It would be amiss to choose anyone else as Portugal's star for this encounter. The winger will be confident of getting the better of his Real Madrid team-mate Alvaro Arbeloa and after a frustrating start at the competition, has come up with match-winning efforts in his side's last two games. Can he do it again?

Spain's Player to watchAndrés Iniesta Luján. Portugal will no doubt prove a difficult side to break down, bit if anyone has the sharpness, timing, and creativity to unlock Pepe and Co in Donetsk it is the talented midfielder. He's made a habit of turning in big contributions in big games and Del Bosque will hope this semi-final is another the Barcelona man adds to his CV.


Portugal vs Spain Probable Line Up:
PortugalRui Patricio, Pereira, Pepe, Alves, Coentrao, Moutinho, Veloso, Meireles, Nani, Almeida, Ronaldo
SpainCasillas, Arbeloa, Ramos, Pique, Alba, Busquets, Alonso, Silva, Xavi, Iniesta Torres

Portugal vs Spain Prediction: Portugal have played to their potential in Euro 2012 and arguably the same cannot be said for Spain. The Iberian rivalry could go either way, but if Ronaldo remains in devastating form and the defence holds firm against a Spain side who have failed to click in attack, the champions could well be dethroned by a shock result. (Goal)

Euro 2012 Czech Republic vs Portugal Preview and Prediction


Both teams come into the game on the back of two wins, and while Portugal's individual class would normally see them through, at a European tournament anything can happen. The Seleccao's defensive frailties were exposed against Denmark, and the Czech Republic's collective spirit could see them hold on and force the contest into penalties. (Goal)


Czech team manager Vladimir Smicer has confirmed that captain Tomas Rosicky will not start but may play a part later in the match. The influential playmaker, who missed his side's final Group A match against Poland, has been having intensive treatment since injuring his Achilles tendon in the second group game against Greece. Daniel Kolar is once again set to step in. Otherwise, Czech boss Michal Bilek should have a full complement of players from which to pick his team.

Michal Bilek: "We know Portugal have dangerous players in midfield and up front, such as Nani, Helder Postiga and [Cristiano] Ronaldo. We have that in mind, and we'll adjust our tactics to be more defensive. We can't play like we did against Russia. We gave them space and they punished us. Nani and Ronaldo will punish us if we do the same thing again, and we don't want to repeat the first match." 

Portugal boss Paulo Bento is likely to persist with the same starting XI he fielded in all three group matches and in the qualification play-offs. That means Helder Postiga playing up front with Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani either side of him, with Nelson Oliveira and Silvestre Varela both attacking options from the bench.

Paulo Bento: "I think a team that played against Germany, Denmark and the Netherlands like we did will not have any problems with their mental recovery. The physical recovery has been good too. I will try to transform this individual happiness [from his recent 43rd birthday] into a collective happiness. But my greatest wish is that this happiness will be for all the Portuguese people after the game tomorrow." (Yahoo)

I will try to transform this individual happiness [from his recent 43rd birthday] into a collective happiness. But my greatest wish is that this happiness will be for all the Portuguese people after the game tomorrow."(Yahoo)
Czech Rep.'s key player: Michal Kadlec. The Bayer Leverkusen man is playing out of position in the centre of the Czech Republic's defence, and have done remarkably so far at Euro 2012. He will have to be at his brilliant best on Thursday to help his team contain the Portuguese juggernaut.
Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal)


Portugal's Player to Watch: Cristiano Ronaldo. The Real Madrid ace silenced his critics with a stunning performance against Netherlands, and he will be keen to prove that his display was not just a part of a 'hot and cold' sequence. His pace, power, dribbling and shooting could be the key to unlock Michal Bilek's side's defence

Watch Euro 2012 England vs Ukraine Live Streaming

Match Schedule: June 19, 2012 7:45 PM BST
Donbass Arena — Donets'k
Referee:‬ V. Kassai‎
Roy Hodgson: "It's not just England who haven't always performed when the expectations were heightened. There's quite a few teams that have failed. It's a fact of life. We've come here with the England national team. We believe in ourselves and we want to do well. In some ways it's rather nice that people back home are hoping and even believing we can do well, and we're giving them something to dream about and cling onto." (Yahoo)
England's key player: Wayne Rooney. England will welcome back their star man in less of a pressure situation than might have been the case had Theo Walcott not instigated a dramatic comeback against Sweden. Rooney will not need to inspire the Three Lions to victory against Ukraine but Roy Hodgson will expect to see a more cohesive team performance with the Manchester United forward linking the play in front of the midfield. Walcott made a real difference to the fluidity of England's counterattacks and Rooney can make the same impact on Tuesday.
Andriy Shevchenko
Ukraine's Player to Watch: Andriy Shevchenko. Oleg Blokhin will be hoping desperately that his captain can recover in time to face England and extend his international career by at least one more game by leading them to three points and a place in the quarter-final. Shevchenko is responsible for giving Ukraine a chance going into the final group fixture, brilliantly bagging two goals against Sweden, and he will need to dig even deeper into his energy reserves in order to topple England.

England vs Ukraine Probable Line Up:
England: Hart, Johnson, Terry, Lescott, Cole, Gerrard, Parker, Walcott, Rooney, Young, Welbeck
Ukraine: Pyatov, Husyev, Mikhalik, Khacheridi, Selin, Tymoshchuk, Yarmolenko, Nazarenko, Konoplyanka, Voronin, Shevchenko

England vs Ukraine Prediction: England need only a draw to seal their place in the quarter-final and that will suit them down to the ground. Roy Hodgson's team have looked at their most secure when they put organisation and discipline first, as they did against France, and the experienced coach will be keen to put the emphasis back on those characteristics after a tumultuous second half, much of which he will not have enjoyed, against Sweden.(Goal)

Watch Euro 2012 Sweden vs France Live Streaming

Match Schedule: June 19, 2012 7:45 PM BST
NSK Olimpijs'kyj — Kyiv (Kiev)
Referee:‬ Pedro Proença‎‎‎‎‎
Laurent Blanc: "There's always the danger that you may take your eye off the ball. So it is up to us to prepare seriously. We also need to be very aware of what we want to achieve. We were very happy following the Ukraine game, rightly so, but as I said to the players, we now need to prepare for the next game, as a game like this against Sweden demands it."(Yahoo)
Sweden's key player: Kim Källström. The 29-year-old put in a decent display against England, providing a number of defence splitting passes and also working hard to get back and break up opposition attacks himself, and could be key in a tricky midfield battle against les Bleus. His knowledge of the game in France is vital if Sweden are to savour any success at the last attempt in this tournament, having plied his trade for both Rennes and presently Olympique Lyonnais.
Frank Ribery, France

France's Player to Watch: Franck Ribéry. The Bayern Munich winger was a lot nearer to his sublime best in the 2-0 win over Ukraine after a subdued opening game against England. Though he is yet to get on the scoresheet himself, he created a number of openings for team-mates in the match with the co-hosts and should really have been rewarded with a handful of assists. He'll be looking to finally make the net ripple and reproduce the pre-tournament form that saw himself and Karim Benzema shine.

Sweden vs France Probable Line Up:
Sweden: Isaksson, Granqvist, Mellberg, J.Olsson, M.Olsson, Larsson, Kallstrom, Svensson, Elm, Ibrahimovic, Elmander
France: Lloris, Debuchy, Koscielny, Mexes, Clichy, M'Vila, Diarra, Ribery, Nasri, Menez, Benzema

Sweden vs France Prediction: France have shown both grit and determination in the draw with England, along with sheer class going forward in the 2-0 win over co-hosts Ukraine. Therefore, while Hamren's men have pride to play for and could provide a stubborn resistance, they could be in for a receiving end of a heavy defeat. (Goal)

Watch Euro 2012 Croatia vs Spain Live Streaming

Match Schedule: June 18, 2012 7:45 PM BST
PGE Arena Gdańsk — Gdańsk
Referee:‬ W. Stark‎‎‎‎
Vicente del Bosque: "We are a very strong team but football can always spring surprises. You saw that in the semi-finals of the Champions League this season while at these finals I thought Poland and Russia would go through but that didn't come to pass. Anything can happen, we must be aware of that and of the fact that being overconfident in this sport can make things very tricky. If we are not alert we will be punished, I have no doubt about that." (Yahoo)
Croatia's key player: Mario Mandzukic. The Wolfsburg striker has been the man with the golden touch for his country at Euro 2012 thus far having claimed three goals in two matches. With Croatia likely to find chances at a premium against Spain, he will have to continue his high conversion rate if the 2008 quarter-finalists are to reach that stage again.


Spain's Player to Watch: Xavi Hernandez. The veteran's performance versus Ireland was something of a masterclass in maintaining possession as he set a new record in passing. Against Croatia that may prove to be a tough milestone to reach again, but if the Barcelona man can keep things ticking in similar fashion, then La Roja should be able to celebrate a place in the last eight as group winners.

Croatia vs Spain Probable Line Up:
Croatia: Pletikosa, Srna, Corluka, Schildenfeld, Strinic, Vukojevic, Rakitic, Mandzukic, Modric, Perisic, Jelavic
Spain: Casillas, Arbeloa, Ramos, Pique, Alba, Busquets, Alonso, Silva, Xavi, Iniesta, Torres

Croatia vs Spain Prediction: Although any draw will send Spain through, and a 2-2 tie or higher is good enough for both sides, don't expect either of them to hold back on going for all three points. In the end, the superior quality of Iker Casillas & Co. should tell against a Croatian defence that has not looked all that secure in the first two matches. (Goal)

Watch Euro 2012 Denmark vs Germany Live Streaming

Match Schedule: June 17, 2012 7:45 PM BST
L'viv Arena — L'viv
Referee:‬ Carlos Velasco Carballo‎‎‎
Joachim Loew: "We will not underestimate them. We have not qualified yet and need at least one point. It will be a tight match. Denmark also have hopes of reaching the last eight, we always knew they would be a threat as they're compact and very dangerous on the counterattack." (Yahoo)
Denmark's key player: Daniel Agger. The Denmark skipper rarely put a foot wrong at the back in the opening game against the Dutch and was equally assured in the defeat to Portugal. A fine reader of the game, Agger will need to keep the dangerous Mario Gomez on a tight leash and deny him space in and around the penalty box.


Germany's Player to Watch: Mario Gomez. A sublime double against the Netherlands took the Bayern Munich forward to three goals for the tournament, level with Croatia's Mario Mandzukic and Russia's Alan Dzagoev in the race for the Golden Boot. Remarkably, Gomez was in possession of the ball for a mere 18 seconds in the whole of the game against the Dutch, which goes to highlight the 26-year-old's impeccable timing and precision in front of goal.

Denmark vs Germany Probable Line Up:
Denmark: Andersen, Jacobsen, Kjaer, Agger, S Poulsen, Kvist, J Poulsen, Mikkelsen, Eriksen, Krohn-Dehli, Bendtner
Germany: Neuer, Bender, Hummels, Badstuber, Lahm, Khedira, Schweinsteiger, Muller, Ozil, Podolski, Gomez

Denmark vs Germany Prediction: Germany will back themselves to complete a clean sweep in the group stages and set up a quarter-final against the Group A runner-up close to their training base in Gdansk. Denmark cannot hope to outplay Low's side, and, unless they can win the mental battle and turn this into a dull and cagey affair, their tournament is likely to come to an end.

Match Schedule: June 17, 2012 7:45 PM BST
Oblasny SportKomplex Metalist — Kharkiv
Referee:‬ N. Rizzoli‎‎
Bert van Marwijk: "The biggest change for us is that it is about one game, it's like a final - a one off-game and so we have to go for it. We need Germany to win but we know from the start we have to win by two goals and I will keep that in mind. We have to go for it, that's what the tactics are based on... the tactics will reflect that situation. It's going to be a frantic game and there were lots of yellow and red cards in the past. So we need lots of discipline for this game. I told the players that but they know that themselves." (Yahoo)
Portugal's key player: Cristiano Ronaldo. The Real Madrid star has endured a nightmarish tournament so far, but his luck may be about to change against a Dutch defence that has looked vulnerable at best and downright sloppy at worst. With the Portuguese attack regaining its verve against Denmark, a return to goalscoring form for Ronaldo is all that is needed to make Bento's side serious contenders for the trophy, provided, of course, they can navigate their way past the group stage.


Arjen Robben
Netherlands's Player to Watch: Klaas-Jan Huntelaar. Van Marwijk looks likely to give in to public pressure and hand the Schalke forward his first start in the tournament, with Robin van Persie possibly employed in a withdrawn role. It could well be the last throw of the dice by the 60-year-old, who will also be urging Van Bommel and Nigel de Jong to do a much better job of shielding the back four from opposition raids and give the team a solid foundation to launch attacks from.

Portugal vs Netherlands Probable Line Up:
Portugal: Rui Patricio, Pereira, Pepe, Alves, Coentrao, Meireles, Veloso, Moutinho, Nani, Postiga, Ronaldo
Netherlands: Stekelenburg, Van der Wiel, Heitinga, Mathijsen, Willems, N De Jong, Van Bommel, Van Persie, Sneijder, Robben, Huntelaar

Portugal vs Netherlands Prediction: Both teams know they cannot settle for anything less than a victory, which should hopefully lead to an open game of football. In possession, both sides can sting but it is when the ball is lost that will be key. How quickly can Portugal counter and how quickly can the Dutch regroup? This game cannot disappoint and if the Oranje were to go down here, they will go down guns blazing.

Referee:‬ B. Kuipers‎‎‎
Andriy Shevchenko has netted four of Ukraine’s seven goals at EURO and World Cup finals, three of these goals were headed. In his last four appearances for France, Franck Ribéry has scored three goals and set up another two.(Yahoo)
Ukraine's key player: Anatoliy Tymoshchuk. The 33-year-old will be familiar with many of the French top-class names, such as Franck Ribery and Karim Benzema, after playing either alongside or against them, with Bayern Munich. He must remain switched on at all times with Les Bleus' flair men dropping into pockets of space all over the field. What the veteran now lacks in pace, will need to be made up with each ounce of his positioning, organisation and intelligence.


Samir Nasri
France's Player to Watch: Samir Nasri. The former Arsenal man will therefore want to continue to let his football do the talking, with an unproven defence the perfect opportunity to do so against. However, he must not become arrogant or selfish with the ball, as that will only bring the whole team performance down, and turn and already overwhelmingly unfavourable crowd even more against him.

Ukraine vs France Probable Line Up:
Ukraine: Pyatov, Husyev, Khacheridi, Mykhalyk, Selin, Tymoschchuck, Rotan, Nazarenko, Konoplyanka, Yarmolenko Voronin

Ukraine vs France Euro 2012 Prediction
France will be looking to win this game without too much trouble. However, it is easy to forget that it's Ukraine that currently top Group D. The co-hosts were more than delighted to have won their first game, but don't be fooled - expectation on Blokhin and his men is high, and they will want to win. Expect Ukraine to be stubborn to break down, and to work extremely hard for their cause, but France know how important three points will be. Laurent Blanc's men should win, not overwhelmingly, but comfortably.(Goal.com)

NSK Olimpijs'kyj — Kyiv (Kiev)
Referee:‬ D. Skomina‎‎
Four of England’s five shots against France were attempted by defenders (Lescott 2x, Johnson and Terry), the other one by a midfielder (Milner). With his goal against Ukraine, Zlatan Ibrahimovic became Sweden’s top scorer at European Championship finals (five, one more than Henrik Larsson).(Yahoo)
Sweden's key player: Olof Mellberg. Sweden's reliance on Zlatan Ibrahimovic is well-known but the striker was his team's best player against Ukraine and scored their only goal. It is the AC Milan striker's team-mates that must improve and the vastly experienced Mellberg is the leader of the pack in defence. Mellberg will not have to cope with Wayne Rooney but Ashley Young and Danny Welbeck will be raring to go having received little in the way of service against France.




England's Player to Watch: Steven GerrardGerrard delivered a steady performance in central midfield against France and, most importantly, supplied the free-kick which Joleon Lescott headed beyond Hugo Lloris to give England the lead. Roy Hodgson will want his side to exert more control against Sweden after a defensive display against Les Bleus and Gerrard will be expecting to be involved more heavily in attacking sequences, but that will depend on the Liverpool talisman gaining a foothold in the centre of the park early on.

Sweden vs England Probable Line Up:
Sweden: Isaksson, Lustig, Mellberg, Granqvist, Martin Olsson, Svensson, Kallstrom, Larsson, Ibrahimovic, Toivonen Elmander
England: Hart, Johnson, Terry, Lescott, Cole, Milner, Gerrard, Parker, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Young, Welbeck

Sweden vs England Euro 2012 Prediction
England's mixed record against Sweden has been well-documented and Roy Hodgson's team could find things more difficult when asked to take the initiative in a match having been able to adopt a defence-first approach against France. They must subdue Zlatan Ibrahimovic if they wish to secure three points, which will be no easy task. The striker looks a more mature player coming into this tournament.(Goal.com)

Stadion Miejski — Poznań
Referee:‬ H. Webb‎
Cesare Prandelli: "(Balotelli) is a guy of 22 years of age, he is on the road to finding maturity. What I ask is for him to play simply. To help the team and to stretch the play behind the opposition defence. When he makes a mistake he must think that there will be other opportunities...and find the conviction to make the right decision next time. The thing to underline is that he won the ball himself (before missing a chance against Spain). When you have two choices it slows you down."(Yahoo)
Italy's key player: Daniele De Rossi. The 28-year-old was impeccable in denying the striker-less Spain opportunities in Gdansk, but once a true forward was on the pitch in Fernando Torres, the midfielder-turned-defender had a couple of lapses. He will need to be able to deal with the threat of a target man more completely on Thursday, whether it be Jelavic, Mandzukic or both.


Daniele De Rossi
Croatia's Player to Watch: Luka ModricThe Tottenham playmaker made Giovanni Trapattoni's side pay for giving him too much space on numerous occasions just a few days ago, but his ability to effect the game under more pressure from a five-man opposition midfield will be paramount to his country's success as they look to make it six point from six in Group C.

Italy vs Croatia Probable Line Up:
Italy: Buffon, Bonucci, De Rossi, Chiellini, Maggio, T. Motta, Pirlo, Marchisio, G'rini, Balotelli, Cassano

Italy vs Croatia Euro 2012 Prediction
Croatia were given too much room in midfield against Ireland, and thus found it very easy to dictate play and come away with a straight-forward victory. The same thing is unlikely to occur against an improving Italy side despite their positive record against the Azzurri in the past and Prandelli's side should be able to come away with three points if they take their chances in Poznan.(Goal.com)

Referee:‬ Pedro Proença‎‎
Giovanni Trapattoni: "I am proud to be the manager of the Irish players because the Irish players have heart. But we have achieved results not only with heart because we have met France, Bulgaria, Italy, many other teams and we played the same. We play our football. It's creative enough and it's technical enough. Maybe Spain have one or two more creative players, but football is not only about creative players. Today, football is about balance on the pitch and strength with attitude and also luck. We have attitude, mentality, commitment, technical ability. We don't make bets, but I think we can win. Why not?"(Yahoo)
Spain's key player: Andrés Iniesta Luján. Spain's most impressive player in the last match and the man who looked most likely to cause the Italian defence problems. Expect Iniesta to drift into pockets of space in front of the Ireland defence and be a massive danger with the ball at this feet.


Andres Iniesta
Ireland's Player to Watch: Robbie KeaneIreland's talisman may be getting on in years now but he will need to come out of his shell if he is pose a threat to Spain. Keane was ineffective against Croatia so he must aim to provide more movement in the box and link up better with strike partner, Kevin Doyle.

Spain vs Ireland Probable Line Up:

Spain vs Ireland Euro 2012 Prediction
Spain go into this match as massive favourites to take three points and Ireland will make it all too easy if they defend in the same manner as they did against Croatia. The high tempo movement in the penalty area by the Spain attackers will prove too much for the Irish so expect a comfortable victory for Vicente Del Bosque's side. Giovanni Trapattoni's rigid formation and the likely negative play from the Republic of Ireland are probably the only factors that will keep the score respectable. (Goal.com)

Portugal and Denmark were in the same group for Euro 2012 qualifying, winning one game apiece against each other. Denmark eventually finished three points above the Portuguese, who were forced to qualify via the play-offs. (Yahoo)
Denmark's key player: Michael Krohn-Dehli. The Brondby midfielder was the star of the show against the Netherlands as he showed the much-vaunted Oranje attack how it should be done with a well-taken goal on the counter. The 29-year-old's tireless work-rate and backtracking was instrumental in keeping Arjen Robben quiet and he will have to repeat that against an equally dangerous opponent in Nani.


Cristiano Ronaldo

Portugal's key player: Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portugal skipper endured a frustrating evening against Germany as he was pinned back by Jerome Boateng and struggled to exert any real influence on proceedings. The Real Madrid star, in theory at least, should see more of the ball against the counter-attacking Danes, and will be desperate to deliver a performance befitting his reputation as one of the best players in the world.

Denmark vs Portugal Probable Line Up:
Denmark: Andersen Jacobsen, Kjaer, Agger, S Poulsen Zimling, Kvist Rommedahl, Eriksen, Krohn-Dehli Bendtner
