UEFA EURO 2012: DENMARK V. PORTUGAL
MATCH 11: DENMARK V. PORTUGAL
at Arena Lviv, Lviv (UKR)
I haven't felt like this is forever. Portugal needs to win this match or else they are out of the Euro. I pray my boys can pull it together. They have the drive...all they need is the scoreline.
No matter what, I will always root for Portugal. <3
