Damn, there's only way of finding out I suppose. Everyone will go all Ahn Jung Hwan on his Pergian ass.
Yes, I agree. Petrić would be so much more effective if he could comine with Eduardo, it's just the common cliché about Olić I suppose. Modrić's passing would find Eduardo in space too, because from this game Pranjic and Srna have had to cover all the way to get into space.

Btw: Rossi, Pellisier, Foggia score. And Daniele Galloppa becomes the first Siena player ever to play for Azzuri, who would have known...

FT Portugal wins.
Now things start looking better for them, even though they are still 4 pts behind the 2nd placed Hungary, with both teams having 4 more matches. But Portugal has to play twice against Hungary and with two wins they'll be second.
Sweden shouldn't be ignored either. They are 3 pts behind Portugal with a match less. The fight for the 2nd place will be very interesting. One mistake and you're out.

The world's best striker Ibra not at the next World Cup? 
But Ibra has an excuse because he's more or less an one man team and he can't do everything alone. Ronaldo has Deco, Pepe, Carvalho, Bosingwa, Nani and Simao to help him.
One of Ibra and Ronaldo won't be at the world cup for sure. Maybe even both of them

No offense Greg, but I would rather see Portugal miss out for obvious reasons.
Not that the players aren't contributing to their lack of decent play. But Queiroz has to take a good chunk of the lack of inspiration and creativity out there.

The next match will be do or die for Portugal. They play away to Denmark. It's a very tough place to play and Portugal must win.
I don't think that Sweden has less chances than Portugal. On Wednesday the Swedes will play against Malta (in Sweden). With a win Sweden will have the same number of pts as Portugal, with the same number of matches played. Everything will be open.
Assuming that Sweden will beat Malta on Wednesday and make everything equal, these will be the remaining 4 matches for SWE and POR
Hungary-Sweden
Malta-Sweden
Denmark-Sweden
Sweden-Albania
Denmark-Portugal
Hungary-Portugal
Portugal-Hungary
Portugal-Malta
Their schedule is just as hard, but the advantage for Sweden is that they will play vs Denmark 2 rounds till the end, when Denmark will probably have the first place secured (and then the Scandinavian friendship might work against Portugal).
Edit: And Hungary has a nightmare of a schedule. They play twice against Portugal, once vs Sweden and once vs Denmark.
