History favours Portugal, Czech Republic
Lisbon, June 28 The Czechs, meanwhile, have never lost against Greece as they approach their seventh match on Thursday - bagging five wins as Czechoslovakia and a draw as the Czech Republic. Dutch coach Dick Advocaat and his players may have to shake off some ghosts of the past again on Wednesday not simply in the overall statistics against Portugal. Four years ago a 2-0 home defeat in Rotterdam marked the beginning of the end of the Dutch’s World Cup 2002 qualifying campaign as Portugal (and Ireland) advanced to the finals in Asia. The last Dutch win against Portugal dates back to a Euro-qualifier in 1991, 1-0 in Rotterdam. The overall series sees four Portuguese wins, three draws and the lone Dutch victory. The last meeting in April 2003 ended 1-1 in Eindhoven. But the Dutch have confidence from their first ever penalty shootout win at a major event in the quarter-finals, against Sweden. In addition, they have reached a Euro-final before when they lifted the trophy in 1988. Portugal lost both previous semi-finals on the continental stage to France (in 1984 and 2000), and will look to come third time lucky against another team. They also hope to continue the trend of host nation titles at Euro every 20 years, with Spain lifting the trophy in 1964 and France in 1984. In addition, Portugal are unbeaten in Lisbon in 28 games since losing 1-0 to Italy in 1987. Greece and then Czechoslovakia have met before at Euro, in 1980 when the Czechs won 3-1 and Nikolaos Anastopoulos scored Greece’s only goal at a major football event until Euro 2004. Czechoslovakia also won the other four meetings while Greece will take heart from a 0-0 draw against the Czech Republic in April 2002 in Ioannina as they approach their first major semi-final. The Czechs are in their fifth Euro semi-final, winning the title in 1976 and finishing runner-up to Germany in 1996. There could be more joy for the Czechs as they can become the first side to win all six matches at the Euro finals if they win the title. Star striker Milan Baros, already tournament top scorer with five goals, can do the same if he scores in the semi-final and final, which would beat Michel Platini’s record of scoring in five straight Euro-games in 1984. — DPA

Nedved fears suspension for final
Lisbon, June 28 Nedved was shown the yellow card by referee Valentin Ivanov for tripping Jesper Gronkjaer during the Czechs' 3-0 win over Denmark in Sunday's quarter-final. But TV replays showed the Dane had blatantly play-acted in order to get Nedved booked. With the Czechs facing Greece in the semi-finals on Thursday, Nedved knows that another booking would rule him out of the final should his side qualify. The Juventus star, the current European Footballer of the Year, missed the 2003 Champions League final against AC Milan at Old Trafford for the same reason. Juventus lost to AC Milan on penalties. "It wasn't a foul. I didn't do anything to be punished. I just made a normal tackle and it wasn't a foul. The referee got it wrong," Nedved said of the incident with Gronkjaer. "Now I know that if I get another yellow card I would miss the final and that would be terrible, especially after what happened with Juve. "But I can't afford to think about. I have to go and play my normal game and hope the refereeing is better than it was last night." Nevded said that if the Czechs beat the surprising Greeks, he would prefer to play Portugal in the final despite the support they would receive as the host nation. "I think for our character it definitely suits us better to play against the Netherlands. Against them it will be an open game," he said. "To play against Portugal at home would be much more difficult. They will have a big crowd cheering them on but I think I would still prefer that. "To pay against the hosts in any big final would be unforgettable, a beautiful experience." Pierluigi Collina, the Italian widely regarded as the best referee in the world, will take charge of the Czechs' semi-final.

Baros — star of the tournament
Porto, June 28 His two goals in the 3-0 triumph give him a total of five and the pole position for the Golden Boot atop the scorers list. Baros (22) has scored in each of the Czech’s four matches, one shy of equalising France’s Michel Platini’s 1984 record of scoring in five consecutive Euro matches. The Euro showing is in sharp contrast to his club success as Baros has scored only two goals for the Merseysiders, where he was sidelined for six months with an ankle injury last season. In Portugal, Baros is in the form of his life, but he isn’t losing the message that coach Karel Bruckner has carefully instilled in the side. “It was a great game for us, and since we won 3-0 I am very happy. But, I haven’t really thought about being top scorer, and now we must get ready for the semifinal,’’ Baros said. Baros was naturally careful about expressing respect for their opponents in the last four, Greece. “The Greeks are strong, and it will be a different kind of game against them,’’ said man known as the
,Ostravan Maradona. I don’t agree that it will be an easy game seeing as they beat France. I think they’ve got a good team, and a good defensive line. It will be a difficult game for us anyway, but I am looking forward to it,’’ Baros said. And so he should be given his form. His two goals against the well-organised Danes were masterful counter-attacking efforts, more than partially aided by the flourishing Czech midfield behind Baros. In the 63rd minute, Karel Poborsky hooked a pass into the path of the deceptively quick Baros, and just as it seemed that Thomas Sorensen had closed off his line too fast, the Czech ace clipped the ball over the diving Danish goalkeeper. Coming almost a quarter of an hour after Jan Koller opened the scoring, the clinical finish was the first nail in Denmark’s coffin. The finishing touch was a shockingly quick follow-up, made by Pavel
Nedved, but exploited by Baros burst of pace and thumping shot that left Sorensen too slow in reacting. When asked by the media whether he was taken aback by Baros continental achievements,
Bruckner, who also coached the player in the U-21 team, answered curtly: I am not at all surprised by Baros play.’’ The striker said the thought of playing in Portugal encouraged him during his long injury layoff. It was a difficult period for me when I was out. But, I knew I would be ready for European Championships, and so I prepared all along with that in mind. I saved my energy for Euro, and I did everything I could to play here.’’

Nistelrooy joins spot kick debate
Lisbon (Portugal), June 28 He fired his spot kick high and wide and into the crowd at Lisbon’s Stadium of Light, and then looked back at the penalty spot, gesturing to the referee that something was wrong with it. “I have watched my penalty on television and, when I plant my left foot to take the kick, you can see the ball lift up,” he said. “I could not have hit the ball that way normally if I tried.” UEFA said later that Beckham was the only player to moan about the shootout at the Stadium of Light on Thursday. Although Rui Costa also missed, he didn’t complain and the Portuguese won 6-5. But Ruud van Nistelrooy, Beckham’s former colleague at Manchester United, was also worried about the state of the penalty spots. He said his Dutch team had checked the area before its quarterfinal victory over Sweden in Faro yesterday. It also went to a shootout. “We trained on this pitch the day before and we checked the spot kick,” Van Nistelrooy said. We saw the spot kick was very loose grass and you saw that Becks, when he took his, that his standing leg moved the grass so that the ball moved. Van Nistelrooy had no problem on his spot kick, firing it into the roof of the net as the Dutch advanced 5-4 on penalties after a 0-0 tie at the Algarve Stadium. The England squad, which played three times at the Stadium of Light, made several complaints to organizers about the state of the turf near the penalty spots. “I complained after each of the practice sessions we had at the stadium,” said coach Sven-Goran Eriksson. “I talked to the UEFA official responsible for the pitch and he promised it would be repaired before the game. I don’t know if they did that.” UEFA spokesman William Gaillard said repairs were made. “Venue managers had replaced the turf around the spots before the match following complaints from Eriksson,” he said. The referee, Switzerland’s Urs Meier, had inspected both penalty spots and was happy for the shootout to go ahead.

Andrade ready for Nistelrooy showdown Alcochete, Portugal, June 28 Van Nistelrooy is joint topscorer in the championship with four goals while Andrade has been an ever-present pillar at the heart of the hosts’ defence. Andrade suffered a twisted ankle in the quarter-final win over England on Thursday, when Portugal won 6-5 on penalties following a 2-2 draw after extra time. The 26-year-old said he would be ready to face the Dutch. “I won’t have any problem,” he told reporters. Andrade, a tireless performer who is excellent in the air, has developed into one of Europe’s most respected defenders since his move to Deportivo Coruna in 2002. However, he said Wednesday’s match would not be just about him and the Manchester United striker. — Reuters

France’s ouster the biggest upset of the tournament
Lisbon, June 28 Hosts Portugal also needed a shootout to beat England while only the fancied Czechs got a big win in the form of a 3-0 over Denmark. But even that game showed that tactics and a safety-first attitude played a major role in the knockout stages. Boasting one of Europe’s leading midfielders in the form of Pavel Nedved, the creativity of Tomas Rosicky and the attacking power of Jan Koller and tournament top scorer Milan Baros, the Czechs nonetheless sat back in the first half against the Danes on Sunday. But Koller’s header in the 49th and a double from Baros in the 63rd and 65th gave the Czechs their fourth win in as many games. “I always said that the first half alone is not important, but the second as well, plus possible extra-time,” said Czech coach Karel Bruckner. The 1976 champions now run into Greece in their fifth semi-final appearance at Euro and will take nothing for granted against the outsiders. “The Greeks are strong, and it will be a different kind of game against them. I think they have got a good team, and a good defensive line,” said Baros. Greece’s firm defence and a textbook 65th-minute header from Angelos Charisteas led to the downfall of France which could mark the end of an era for Zinedine Zidane, Thierry Henry and others. “We didn’t play well at all. Clearly we can’t keep going on like this if we expect to be champions again. It wasn’t just two or three mistakes — it was the whole performance,” admitted Zidane. The stunning run in Portugal has lifted their German coach Otto Rehhagel atop Mt. Olympus as he managed to get the most of a rugged and unspectacular team. “You always play as well as the opponents allow you to, and we did not allow them to play well. My players managed to stick with the strategy that we had agreed, and we won this game. Now we must regroup and stay realistic,” said Rehhagel. That statement could also apply to the Dutch and the Swedes as each defence managed to contain the opposition’s high-powered attack — be it Dutchman Ruud van Nistelrooy or Henrik Larsson and Zlatan Ibrahimovic on the other side. The Dutch must have been scared to death when the game headed to penalties after a 0-0 deadlock in 120 minutes of tactical play — having lost shooutouts at the last three Euro editions and the 1998 World Cup. But goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar then saved from Olof Mellberg and starlet Arjen Robben sunk the deciding spot kick to see his team into the final four after a difficult start into the tournament. “It’s fantastic, unbelievable. We can do it after all. We didn’t play well but showed a lot of charakter. We have become a team and are delighted to be in the semi-finals. We want more now,” said Robben. In order to win a second title following the 1988 success, the Dutch will have to beat a Portugal side which produced the most entertaining quarter-final on Thursday against England. Coach Luiz Felipe Scolari did everything right as his substitutes Helder Postiga (for Luis Figo) and Rui Costa scored against an English 11 successful from Michael Owen’s stunning flick and Frank Lampart for a 2-2 scoreline heading into the shootout. Wayne Rooney was denied further heroics due to an early foot-fracture, while Portugal goalkeeper Ricardo Pareira first saved from Darius Vassell and then scored the winner himself to become the hero instead. “We now want to win the whole tournament,” said Scolari. — DPA

France coach PARIS: The head of the French Football Federation
gave his support to Laurent Blanc, former defender for Les Bleus, to
replace departing coach Jacques Santini.
“I tell
myself that such a candidacy shouldn’t be rejected,” he told
Europe 1 radio. Santini takes over as manager of England’s
Tottenham Hotspur in two weeks. Simonet used the example of one-time
football star Michel Platini, a former France coach who took the job
without previous experience, to ponder the coaching qualities of
Blanc. “What Michel Platini could do, it seems to me that Laurent
Blanc, whose qualities are equally enormous, could maybe also try,”
Simonet said.— AP

Coaching carousel in spin after Portugal adventure
Lisbon, June 28 Rudi Voeller, who was almost presumed to be the man to help Germany do one-better at the 2006 World Cup at home than they did in reaching the final match of the 2002 World Cup, stepped aside one day after saying that he expected an evaluation to follow. The forlorn-looking Voeller, who after all had no coaching experience when he took the job in 2000, has made way in all probability for Ottmar Hitzfeld, who is both experienced and free. Greece’s coach Otto Rehhagel has also been bandied about as a candidate, despite the fact that he is likely to stay with the semi- final surprise team through 2006. Far more complicated is the story of Inaki Saez, the also untested boss who presided over Spain’s crash out in Portugal. After initially saying that it would be cowardly’’ of him to resign, the former Athletic Bilbao player quit after all. Whether federation president Angel Maria Villar wanted Saez to stay or go is not clear, but the Spanish press and people were unanimous in their judgement, and it was obvious the sympathetic figure could not remain. Luis Aragones is reportedly the frontrunner for the hot seat, though Mallorca is unlikely to let him go without a fight. Another odd situation exists for Sweden, whose co-coaching duo of Lars Lagerbeck and Tommy Soderberg will be broken up by the latter, who announced before the tournament that he was leaving the post. Lagerbeck, who originally started as Soderberg’s assistant, is likely to stay on after his team’s quarterfinal exit to the Dutch on penalties. The Netherlands, interestingly, are led by one of the least popular figures in the tournament in Dick Advocaat. But, a place in the last four has the “Little General” back in favour for the moment, but whether this summer’s success translates into job security is another matter. More straightforwardly, Italy’s Giovanni Trapattoni knew that he could not withstand another major tournament flop after the Azzurris 2002 World Cup exit to South Korea, and he quickly made way for the unemployed Marcelo Lippi, who is the most respected Italian club coach next to El Trap himself. The incoming 56-year-old former-Juventus man said at his appointment: “I am very happy. The national team has always been one of my dreams.” But, the wily outgoing 65-year-old also former-Juventus man warned: “I can tell (him) that the national team is much, much harder than a club. He who steers Italy must be first of all a negotiator.” Croatia’s Otto Baric was the odd-man out as the federation wanted him to continue as national team coach, but he flatly refused after just two years in charge. The 72-year-old claimed fatigue, though the media reported that there was open conflict between the stern coach and his players. Baric said he would rather go to Kuwait for a pay-day with a club there. “I am definitely leaving. I am tired of everything. Newspapers write ‘Otto farewell, but I really do not have the strength for all that any more. There are just too many problems in this position,” he said. Given the shocking quarterfinal exit to Greece, France’s Jacques Santini seemingly did the right thing by announcing even before the start of the tournament that he was taking a job with Tottenham Hotspur. — DPA

India gear up for clash against Pak
Amsterdam, June 28 India promised a lot but delivered too little enroute their 0-2 loss against the hosts yesterday and in order to keep their hopes alive of a place in the finals of the four-nation meet, India need to beat Pakistan tomorrow. The match between the Asian powerhouses promises to offer riveting hockey since Pakistan would also be keen for an improved showing having lost their opening encounter against Germany by a huge 0-6 margin. Pakistan’s rout could also be attributed to their failure to grab chances that came their way and they were also culprit of muffing up opportunities, including a penalty stroke against Germany. Indian coach Rajinder Singh acknowledged that his side could not afford to miss scoring opportunites in crucial matches as they did yesterday, wasting as many as seven penalty corners and five sitters. “Our forwards missed so many goals and if you miss goals against such a good team like Holland you cannot win,” Rajinder said. “We are missing short corner (conversions) and we have to improve in this area also,” he said. “We are giving our young players, such as Sandeep Singh, a chance for the short corner conversions and he has improved but he also has to work a lot of hours more,” Rajinder said. Pakistan coach Roelant Oltmans, on the other hand, was looking for a more organised effort from his boys. “There was a total lack of organisation in the team and the team did not play according to the game plan on Saturday. There was lack of defensive structure,” Oltmans said. The last time the two sides played each other was in March this year when Pakistan drubbed India 4-2 in the bronze medal play-off of the Olympic qualifiers in Madrid. — PTI

Honours even in US-Russia showdown
London, Jun 28 But grass is more home to the Americans who have dominated the women's tournament here since 1999. The last 16 line-up saw three American veterans pitted against three of the Russian new brigade with title-holder and defending champion Serena Williams waiting in the wings. First up was 28-year-old 1999 champion Lindsay Davenport against 19-year-old Vera Zvonareva on Centre Court with 31-year-old Amy Frazier taking on 17-year-old Maria Sharapova at the same time on No. 1 court. Davenport had defeated Zvonareva at the same stage in this year's Australian Open but she found it hard going to start with against her much smaller and more mobile opponent. They traded breaks in the fifth and sixth games before the American's heavier groundstrokes made the difference as she broke again and then served out for the first set 6-4 in 38 minutes. But Zvonareva's tactics of attempting to pull the towering Davenport from side to side started to pay dividends at the start of the second as she broke serve in the second game to lead 3-0. But Davenport regained control of the rallies with her greater length and penetration and back-to-back service breaks against the Russian left her firmly in command at 5-3. Zvonareva kept the match alive on her serve, but she could do little against Davenport in the following game as the American ran out a 6-4, 6-4 winner. The unorthodox Frazier gave new glamour girl Sharapova a fright to start with as she broke to lead 4-2. But Sharapova, winner of the Birmingham tournament in the week preceding Wimbledon, started to find her range and broke back for 4-4. She then took the next two games to go one set up. Frazier hung in grimly at the start of the second as the decibel levels from Sharapova's grunts and screams went up by the rally. And the American stunned the Russian by breaking her serve in the ninth game to serve for the set. But she came up short on that and the Russian took the next two games as well to win 6-4, 7-5. She goes up against the winner of the all-Asian tie between Ai Sugiyama of Japan and Tamarine Tanasugarn of Thailand for a place in he semi-finals. The US-Russia triple-header would be completed tomorrow when 28-year-old Jennifer Capriati takes on 21-year-old Nadia Petrova. Serena Williams, who has yet to drop a set in three rounds played will go up against 16-year-old French prodigy Tatiana Golovin in her fourth round tie tomorrow. Also into the last eight was exciting Croatian newcomer Karolina Sprem, who defeated third seeded Venus Williams in the second round. The unseeded 19-year-old Sprem defeated Magdalena Maleeva of Bulgaria 6-4, 6-4 and she will take on Davenport for a place in the semi-finals. —AFP, PTI

Sprem marches into quarterfinals London, June 28 Both players showed signs of nerves at the start and struggled to find their rhythm on a sun-baked court 18. With almost every game going to deuce, the players traded early breaks before Maleeva dropped her serve for the second time in the seventh game. That was enough for the 30th-ranked Sprem to snatch the first set in 32 minutes. The second set following in similar vein before Sprem secured victory on her fifth match point after Maleeva mis-hit a groundstroke. Sprem will next face either 1999 champion Lindsay Davenport or 12th-seeded Russian Vera Zvonareva.

The men's doubles draw has been reduced to three-set affairs from the customery five setters, owing to rain delays. Earlier yesterday, eleventh seed Leander Paes and his Czech partner David Rikl were defeated by the unseeded US duo of Travis Parrot and Vincent Spadea in straight sets 7-6 (8-6) 6-3.—UNI

Lisbon (Portugal), June 28
