It comes down to Head-to-Heads in this one.

Wait, isn’t it still possible for the winner here to face a three way tie for first place… and lose on goal differential? Or is the head to head result the tiebreaker here?

Thanks Mike, yes I did mean 12. It’s been corrected.

Although Ronaldo has had better luck with free kicks than penalties lately, so maybe he’d prefer 18.

A little note for our bracket competition involving this match. If either team wins this one, we’ll have our first confirmed quarterfinalist, and thus our first points in the competition. A scoreboard will be going up later today, and each time points are updated, we’ll include it in the day’s Euro Wrap, along with a link to the bracket table.

Dont you mean 12 yards when talking about the c ron vs. cech face off from the penalty spot? my vote is an easy portugese win because of a lack of offensive attack from the Czech side
