But you know - it’s second blood to the Czech Republic… And as a fascinating 5th day of European football begins, the CPI once again is throwing up statistical analysis like there is no tomorrow. Which is good of it! Deco fumbles and stumbles one in past Cech, who so nearly srabbled it away from the feet of the Portuguese player, and lo - like a bolt from the blue, Sionko wins a corner on the left. Ujfalusi takes and Sionko gets to the ball first and heads home running in towards the near-post across Ricardo. Good poacher’s goal!

Game on indeed - and although the Czechs are looking rather dangerous, and peppering Ricardos goal with a number of promising efforts - I find it hard not to fancy the Portugese to come back and assert their dominance here. Their workrate is well up on their previous game against Turkey, matching the Czechs stride for stride, and a glance at our in-game stats, powered by the CPI, shows how dominant Ronaldo’s lads have been in terms of possession thus far.

Those predictions over at the Portugese blog down look all that bad thus far - hope you got some money on it boys!
