Adrian Chiles introduces action and reaction from the final round of matches in Group A, as co-hosts Switzerland take on much-fancied Portugal and Turkey face the Czech Republic. While the Swiss have already failed in their bid to reach the knockout stages of the European Championships for the first time, 2004 finalists Portugal have been highly impressive in their first two group matches and Barcelona's Deco and Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo look capable of destroying any defence. The Czech Republic are without much of the attacking threat that took them to the semi-finals four years ago and have struggled in their first two games to reproduce their former glories. Turkey started poorly against the Portuguese but the late winner against the Swiss and their intense national pride will give them great hope. They must get past Chelsea's towering Petr Cech in goal, however, if they are to win this fixture for the first time in 50 years. The winner will progress to the quarter-finals as Group A runners-up but, intriguingly, if the match is drawn, the progressing team will be determined by a penalty shootout.
