Czech Republic vs Portugal | 1:45 p.m. | ESPN

Today is the first of the four Euro 2012 quarterfinals. The Czechs reached this point as winners of Group A while Portugal finished a somewhat "surprise" runner-up in Group B after some impressive performances.

Teams will be posted below once known. I would not expect Portugal to make any changes at all from the XI that was so impressive against the Netherlands on Sunday.

Meanwhile, Czech manager Michal Bilek has said Tomas Rosicky is unavailable as a starter, but could come off the bench if needed.

Also, remember that yellow cards do not reset until after this round. I'll list for each team the players that would miss the quarterfinals with another booking.
