Finally. Quaresma starting in a Portugal game in this Euro 2008. In the last 10 minutes that he played in the Czech Republic-Portugal game, he showed Scolari that he deserved a place in the starting lineup. 
I think Portugal's #17 performs better, more consistently when the stars are in the team- Deco, Cristiano Ronaldo, Carvalho. Put him with Meireles (even though he's his FC Porto teammate) a non-existent midfield and he just breaks down.
In the 1st half, Portugal only went forward when Nani, Miguel or Quaresma used the flanks to get into the area. In one of Portugal's goal occasions- Quaresma was involved.

17:31- As a winger in the left-flank, made a cross to Helder Postiga's head. Except Postiga headed it over the crossbar.
He did have a few missed goal opportunities.
- How would you rate Quaresma in the game? What was he supposed to do to give a convincing performance and show he DESERVES to be in the Portugal starting lineup?
