Hi, Can't wait for tomorrow's game Portugal-Germany. I can't imagine Portugal losing, thus going home. After its 2 victories, more people believed they were another euro 2008 favorite. Although the team to beat in the Euro 2008 is Italy, mainly because they're the World Champions.
The Portugal team is aware that Germany is putting pressure on Portugal. By mentioning Ricardo as being weak, their win in the 2006 world cup, Ballack saying that Portugal is the favorite... Today: 4pm- press conference with 2 Portugal players: Nuno Gomes and Simao Sabrosa

Nuno Gomes and Simao stayed away from provocations, and clearly said:
00:00 Nuno Gomes-
"We don't want to get involved in provocations. In these games all tactics are allowed, let's say, to destabilize the opponent but we are concentrated in the game and the way to win. Our 'slogan' is respect."
00:40: Simao also responded to Germany's provocations:
"They're putting a little pressure on us. A pressure that already exists, that's normal. We're used to it. W respect every player, who are colleagues. This [provocations] won't influence us. We are concentrated in the game, that is probably the most important game in our careers. Because it's the next one. By winning, we'll even have time, we can be with our families."
"It's probably the most important game in the Portugal journey..."
Nuno Gomes hasn't scored in the 1st 2 euro 2008 games. Hasn't had a great season with Benfica.
"I don't know what will be the secret to score against Germany. The most important thing is to help the team and I also want to score goals. I have a "feeling" that tomorrow can be my day."
About the Germany manager not allowed to be at the bench for the game
"It's not because the manager is on the bench or not that Germany will not be at its best level. I don't think it will influence the result. When Germany scored against Austria, Löw was already in the stands" Source: www.record.pt/noticia.asp?id=791908&idCanal=1252
5pm- Portugal team training at St. Jakob-Park,
- Do you think Portugal can beat Germany tomorrow? Final score? Will goalkeeper Ricardo concede more than 1 goal again?
