SOUNDBITE: (Czech) Michal Bilek, Czech Republic coach:

"Of course we will concentrate on our own game. We know Portugal have a lot of dangerous players in midfield and also in the forwards - Nani, Postiga, Ronaldo. Ronaldo is an excellent player and we have that in mind and will adjust our tactics to be more defensive."

SOUNDBITE: (Czech) Michal Bilek, Czech Republic coach:

"Of course we remember that match, it was exceptional that the Czech football reached the final. The quarter-finals and the lob of Karel Poborsky was amazing and of course we would like to repeat that result. I think this situation is similar. Portugal is also a favourite with strong individual players and a strong team. I think that if we perform as we have the previous two matches, we have a chance to go through."
