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 watch: Andrés 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.

Euro 2012 Czech Republic vs Portugal Preview and Prediction

Watch Euro 2012 Czech Republic vs Portugal Live Streaming

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)

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

Czech Rep. vs Portugal Probable Line Up:

Czech Rep.: Cech, G. Selassie, Sivok, Kadlec, Limbersky, Hubschman, Plasil, Jiracek, Kolar, Pilar, Baros

Portugal: Rui Patricio, Joao Pereira, Alves, Pepe, Coentrao, Meireles, Veloso, Moutinho, Nani, Postiga, Ronaldo
