Portuguese and Dutch fans gathered in Kharkiv, Ukraine on Sunday, ahead of their crucial final Group B match at Euro 2012
The Netherlands have to win if they are to have any chance of making it to the quarter-finals, having lost both of their previous Group B matches
Portugal meanwhile sit in second place on three points, and both sets of supporters were in high spirits ahead of the match.
SOUNDBITE (Portuguese) Carlos Brun, Portuguese fan:
"I think we'll win the game. It will be close game. Holland is a very good team. They are going to be going all out which will actually help us a bit so we can play a bit on the counter attack and I think we will do well today and hopefully on to the quarter-finals."
SOUNDBITE (Dutch) Eohn, Dutch fan:
"We'll win 3-0. First goal will give Huntelaar and second Persie and third Robben. It will be super for us."
Germany play Denmark in the other Group B match - with all four teams still able to qualify for the quarter-finals.
