Room for improvement?

“We’re not infallible…” Those were the words of Ricardo when the Portugal goalkeeper was asked about marking lapses in his defence during Wednesday’s 3-1 win against the Czech Republic.
Near misses
Those marking lapses could have proved costly, with Milan Baroš alone narrowly failing to capitalise on set pieces on two occasions. In the end, only Libor Sionko was able to take advantage of these difficulties, heading in a corner for the Czechs’ first half equaliser; the only goal that Ricardo has conceded in the two games thus far.
Group A decider could go to penalties

If Turkey and the Czech Republic draw their final Group A match in Geneva on Sunday, second place and a quarter-final berth will be decided on penalties.
Shoot-out chance
The Czech Republic lost 3-1 to Portugal on Wednesday evening and then Turkey beat Switzerland 2-1 – both after added-time goals. That leaves the Czech Republic and Turkey level on points, goal difference and goals scored, and according to Article 7.08 in the official 2008 UEFA European Championship regulations, in that instance, if the two equal teams are playing in the last game, their match is decided by spot-kicks after 90 minutes should it finish level.
