On March 26th, 2008, Portugal played Greece for an international friendly as both teams prepare and finalize the squads for the Euro2008. Greece were clinical in the dead ball situations and former Benfica player Karagounis scored two spectacular free kicks to beat Portugal’s Ricardo. Portugal have now lost 3 consecutive times to Greece.
Portuguese defender Jorge Andrade had surgery on his left knee on Thursday and is likely to miss the European Championship finals, the Lusa news agency said, quoting a hospital source.

Portugal are the obvious favourites to win the group, though it is not completely out of Czech Republic’s grasp to upset the order. Both teams will be thrilled that they are each going to play their opening game against the group’s less fancied sides. Portugal will open their campaign against Turkey, while the Czech Republic will lock horns with hosts Switzerland. It will be absolutely essential for both Portugal and Czech Republic to take maximum points before their crunch tie just four days later.
After a sixteen-year period of relative obscurity, Portugal roared back onto the world stage during Euro2000. Admittedly, at the youth level Portuguese football had made waves in the late eighties and early nineties, but the senior team, prior to the turn of the century, had enjoyed little success apart from the 1966 World Cup (third-place finish) and the 1984 European Championships (semi-final exit). The Portuguese public expected more, and during Euro2000 they started to dream again. Luis Figo and Rui Costa provided a spectacle of football, taking Portugal all the way to the semi-finals, only to then controversially lose to France. En route to the semi-final, Portugal had confidently defeated England and Germany.
