Another solid performance, with full intent on winning the game, and doing it in a dominating fashion.
Ricardo scares me, and has shown the vulnerability of the Portuguese defense when the ball comes into an area where he hesitates in coming out.
Unlucky Quim, Very Unlucky.
EDIT - With Turkey's win over Switzerland, Portugal secured the first place in the group and subsequent quarter final berth.
Portugal doesn't even need to win against Switzerland, as the first tie breaker is head to head results.

Fumas, Man I am so with you on Ricardo. He scares the crap out of me back there.
Why didn't he make some kind of attempt at the corner on which the Czechs scored? Better than sitting back and ending up on his ass the way he did.
And late in the game he punched at a ball that he clearly should have caught, causing unnecessary nerves. I believe it was 2-1 at the time and it could have been 2-2.
Don't know if Quim is the answer, but Ricardo is just a heart attack waiting to happen.
That said, Portugal is playing so well in front of him, it's been a pleasure to watch. I can't see them slipping up and losing. BTW, I watched Brazil-Portugal last night on FSC, what a fun game.
