Your Complete Guide to Euro 2008: Its Scolari for Chelsea


So its official then? 'Big Phil' or Luis Felipe Scolari becomes Chelsea's new coach effective from 1st July 2008.
The announcement of his appointment came soon after 'Big Phil's' Portugal brushed aside the Czech Republic, 3-1 in yesterday's Euro 2008 Group A 2nd round of games.
I felt a bit sorry for Petr Cech. He had hardly anything to do yesterday afternoon and spent most of the time bending his back and picking the ball out of the net three times.
In yesterday's other game, more resembling water polo than a football match, Turkey came from behind to beat Switzerland 2-1 with the winner being scored deep into injury time.
Switzerland's defeat means they are out of the competition and Portugal became the first country to qualify for the quarter-finals.
In today's action Germany play Croatia at 6pm (local time) and Austria face Poland at 8.45pm (local time).
