An ominous sky for the Swiss shrouds the match in Basel.Ricardo Quaresma (90)
The Portugese all but guaranteed their place in the quarterfinals in an entertaining win over the Czech Republic. Crafty midfielder Deco showed his creativity, intelligence, and vision as he played a role in all 3 goals: scoring the first, assisting the second, and creating the 3rd with a surprise quick restart on a free kick. To the Czech's credit they played at a much brighter pace than their previous match against Switzerland and could gain second place in the group with a win over Turkey on Sunday.

Arda Turan broke the hearts of Switzerland with his last gasp penalty time goal in rain-drenched St. Jakob-Park in Basel Wednesday. The throngs of Swiss who attended the match were sent into ecstasy when Hakan Yakin put the hosts ahead in the first half, but alas without their talisman Alex Frei they could not hold off the marauding Turks. Thus the Swiss are the first side sent crashing unceremoniously out of the tournament.
