Portugal 0 – 2 Switzerland: PREcap

June 16th, 2008 | By: Greg | 5 Comments »

I had an assload of things to get done personally yesterday. The lunch for my father was scheduled for 2:30 PM which locally is fifteen minutes before kickoff. Couple that with a small as hell TV at the restaurant bar and a much better match going on between Turkey and the Czechs and you have the formula for me not being able to write an intelligible recap of the match yesterday.

For further fun, throw in my sister in law’s surprise birthday party right after the Father’s Day shin dig to prevent me from watching the replay when I got home and I hope you understand that you’ll be getting a somewhat truncated recap of this mid-tournament friendly at some point tomorrow, rather than today.

Don’t forget to keep up with the matches being played today so we can confirm what we already knew to be true when the groups were picked and the brackets drafted: the road to this final will go through Germany. Albeit a round earlier than expected. Força Portugal.

On reflection, it appears that Scolari agrees with me:

“I made a mistake and should have made 11 changes, not eight,” he said. “We ran too many risks picking three players who had already played in the other matches. I made a big mistake in that.”

Ah well, it could have been worse.

I’m divided between Germany and Portugal. I hoped they wouldn’t have to face each other so soon. Now one of them surely has to go home. Odds favour Portugal though. They’ve been a stronger side than the Germans and not only do they have an extra day of rest but more than half of the team was rested in the the final group game.
