Quarter Finals – Day One – Dugout Discussion

The first quarter final of Euro 2012 is less than an hour away from kick-off and, as Fantasy managers tinker with their last-minute transfer plans, we’ve rolled out the Dugout Discussion ahead of Portugal ‘s showdown with Czech Republic at 7.45pm.

This evening’s team news is in and is as follows:

Paulo Bento names the same XI that started all three of the group games. Cristiano Ronaldo has an incredible 82% of the votes in the Captain Poll after his brace against Holland in the previous match, with Nani a distant second with 8%. Can they maintain their strong attacking form or will the Czechs scupper the Fantasy plans of many and steal an unlikely victory?

For the Czech Republic, Michal Kadlec makes just one change to the starting XI that saw off Poland last time out. Tomas Rosicky has failed to recover sufficiently from an Achilles problem, allowing Vladimir Darida a role “in the hole”, with Petr Jiracek and Vaclav Pilar carrying the goal threat on either side in Kadlec’s favoured 4-2-3-1.

Portugal XI: Patricio; Pereira, Pepe, Alves, Coentrao; Veloso, Moutinho, Meireles; Nani, Postiga, Ronaldo

Czech Republic XI: Cech; Gebre Selassie, Kadlec, Sivok, Limbersky; Hubschman, Plasil; Jiracek, Darida, Pilar; Baros.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter
