PortuGOAL Podcast 48: Portugal at Euro 2012 - the story so far
A look back at Germany and a look forward to Denmark
Portugal started Euro 2012 with a positive performance but a disappointing result on Saturday night. The 1-0 defeat to Germany has transformed today’s match against Denmark into a must-win situation. Our latest pod is dedicated entirely to discussion about the Selecção at the tournament in Ukraine and Poland.
We start the pod by chatting to our man on the ground in Lviv, Nathan Motz, who describes the atmosphere in Ukraine and tries to decipher the body language of Portugal’s players in the immediate aftermath of that unlucky defeat against Germany.
With the help of your comments we then dissect the first game, dwell on the great “Hélder Postiga or Nélson Oliveira” debate, and look forward to the crunch Denmark game. Can Portugal get the win they so desperately need? We give our predictions.

Hi everyone......I believe we were very unlucky against Germany and that we should have at least walked away from that game with a draw. I do however have my queries about Helder Postiga up front. I wonder how we would do if we played Nani and Quaresma on the wings and put Ronaldo up front. At this point in time I think Paulo Bento has to try something as we have nothing to loose and everything to gain...............But never the less I am still behind my team PORTUGAL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, we all probably know that Bento will start the same lineup from saturday. Im very confident we can beat the DAnes, They didnt impress me at all vs holland, their wing defense looks to be the weakest parts. Ronaldo and Nani need to attack this..It would be nice to get the win, 3 points, have germany knock out holland later today. For the last final matches, Portugal beat holland, and germany crushes denmark, then we would finish second, and probaly face Russia, which would be a excellent match!..What do people say if this does go down?..say portugal wins today and germany Crushes holland, do we rest many of our starters? or do we put the same lineup again, thoughts?? suggesstions?. I personally say that if this goes down this way, we mix it up a bit vs holland, give guys like nani, Alves, Mourtinho,Veloso, and Raul M, rest,,,..what do you guys think?
Lets get this win today!!! its do or die for the Seleccao!! have faith!!!
