    Bosnia +0.5

    Portugal v Bosnia

    My pick Bosnia +0.5 @3.00 3 units

    They have players to upset Portugal (they were about to beat France in Paris..)

    I'm taking them ML.

    I understand Portugal are favorites, but the Bosnians are no slouches. I'll take those odds any day off the week

    I think Portugal will win (odds are too short though). They were the better team in Bosnia but the surface did not help. Nani/Ronaldo and co on a smoother pitch will find a way to unlock this 10-man defence. Pepe is capable of dealing with Dzeko as he did in the first leg. Portugal do lack a good out-and-out goalscoring striker (not a fan of Almeida, and the dirty Postiga hasn't convinced me either).

    I'm thinking Under.

    Portugal should play Ronaldo as main striker. Never understood why they don't do this.

    I agree with everything. Portugal controlled the game in Bosnia but weren't able to generate much in terms of quality scoring chances, and the few that they did were hampered by a wobbly ball on a terrible pitch. Pepe played a great game and if he performs the same way today then Dzeko should be a non-factor. I hope Almeida starts even though he isn't great, because Postiga was terrible in the first leg and the play died every time the ball was played to him. I think Portugal wins 1-0 here.

    Did you even watch the game? No way Bosnia was better team. Portugal outplayed them and outchanced them the entire match.

    I think you need to re-read what I said

    I think Portugal will win <--- correct prediction (odds are too short though <--- 6-2, I was wrong about the odds being too short ). They were the better team in Bosnia <--- said Portugal were better than Bosnia in first leg but the surface did not help. Nani/Ronaldo and co on a smoother pitch will find a way to unlock this 10-man defence <--- They both got on the scoresheet and both did indeed unlock the defence last night from what I saw. Pepe is capable of dealing with Dzeko as he did in the first leg. Portugal do lack a good out-and-out goalscoring striker (not a fan of Almeida, and the dirty Postiga hasn't convinced me either <--- I was wrong on this part last night ).

    The match ended when Lulic was sent off in the 54th min (2 yellows in 2 mins - stupid player)
