honestly, our success will depend on desire and performance of players that play in western europe- especially Nihat. If he plays like he does in La Liga, and meshes well with Tuncay and Yildiray, we have great shot to go through.
Czechs are great tournament team, so i ll give them benefit of the doubt and predict a top finish for them. Portugal failed to impress in qualifying but they ll have the best player in the world. they ll fight with us for second place but we ll come on top in a shocker .

i think it's an open group, but not very tough.
i wonder how the czechs will do, they could be an enigma (like during the WC).
portugal has a very talented team, it'll be interesting how scolari handles this team.
switzerland is the home team, so don't discard surprises.
i'm not very familiar with this turkey team, but i've always liked them, so i would like them and the czechs to go to the next round.

Turks...I don't really know much about their team, but I imagine it's quite improved given their CL performance. So they could make it very interesting.
Hopefully Czechs and most of all, hopefully with Nedved
Don't like Cristiano. I don't think he is mature enough to be captain. The armband should have gone to a more experienced player like Deco. I think Figo's presence will be missed more than they think. I'm interested in seeing Ricardo Quaresma play, he's quite good.
Swiss, good luck. Always nice when the home team does well.
We'll have to see.

looking at Czech squad, they dont look as strong as they ve been in previous tournaments. they have a very good defense but midfield is almost non-existent without rocisky and nedved. Koller s performance is shaky and i dont know if Baros can carry the attack by himself. They have the name but after looking at it in depth i dont see them going very far.

I'm pretty confident that the Czechs will move on in 1st, as that Portugal-Turkey match will really determine how the group goes.
I think Turkey will finish 2nd as Portugal is pretty overrated right now as they've been somewhat lackluster.

it s never good to see a player get injured but this gave me an inadvertent smile inside.
Cristiano Ronaldo left Portugal's first training session in Switzerland in preparation for the European Championship with ice wrapped around his right ankle Monday.
The winger looked to be fine throughout the session but before he returned to the dressing room, doctors taped the ice around his foot.
