Portugal, Greece, and Holland...
not such a sucky Euro after all, Holland already won one competition and the next semi-finalists will be surely a team that already won also (Czech did as Checkoslovakia), and portugal has some reputation and are the hosts, only Greece seems to be misplaced, but they pulled that one off with merit

i'd love to see portugal in the final. 
i mean, we, portuguese, should all be happy, coz the semi finals was the main goal set by Scolari, but every time we did good in a competition (World Cup 1966, Euro 1984, Euro 2000), he were always beaten in the semi, and in such dramatic ways: in 66 against England in which Eusebio missed in a 1on1 situation against the keeper in the final minutes (we beat Brazil in that WC, we even recovered from a 3-0 disadvantage against Korea to win the game 5-3 ^^), in 84 we were winning in the extratime and France cameback in the last minutes of the extratime and won 3-2, and in 2000 that penalty Abel Xavier was stupid enough to commit gave France the golden goal. ;(
We deserve to win sumthing already, and it would be marvellous to win at home. the fans are beeing amazing (almost every home has a national flag hanging ^^), the way the fans followed the team bus when they were on their way to the stadiums against Spain and England, those boats following the bus underneath the bridge waving the flags, just beautiful
But the Czech are looking very strong indeed, and the dutch are not easy to beat, but i can always hope.
After all, and although its painful for me to say it
, FC Porto did win the Champions League, anything is possible.
