Portugal begin their Euro 2008 campaign on 7 June hoping to redeem themselves after losing the final of the last edition of the competition on their home turf. The revamped squad has several new faces including that of Pepe, who has been handed the baton in defense. Scolari's men share Group A with Turkey, Switzerland, and the Czech Republic and will play their three matches in St. Jakob-Park in Basil and Stade de Genève in Geneva.
