How they line up

Zdenek Grygera
Was brought as a substitute against the Danes, following an injury to Martin Jiranek, and is likely to be in the starting line-up against Greece

Tomas Ujfalusi
Came into the tournament with solid reputation and has looked very comfortable at the heart of the defence.

Rene Bolf
The Czech defence look less secure without him. Very strong in the air, his partnership with Ujfalusi has been key to Czech success so far

Marek Jankulovski
Had a few nervous moments in the opening game against Latvia. Now firmly established as first-choice left-back.

Karel Poborsky
Top class on the right of midfield and ready to win his 100th cap in the final if the Czechs make it that far.

Tomas Galasek
Has been his usual tidy self in the key holding role, except when enjoying a well-deserved rest in the game against Germany

Tomas Rosicky
Famed for his composure, control and superb passing. Has started all four games so far, playing in a deeper role than he is used to at his club

Pavel Nedved
The European Player of the Year in 2003 has lived up to his billing as one of the most complete midfielders in Europe

Milan Baros
A revelation of the tournament. Strong, quick and possesses great control. Will be the man the Greek defence fear most in the semis.

Jan Koller
Scored six times in the qualifying campaign and his first goal in the tournament started the Czech fightback over the Netherlands.

Greece

Antonis Nikopolidis
Has been one of his most consistent performance. Particularly in the 1-1 draw against Spain when he made a number of vital saves.

Yourkas Seitaridis
The second youngest member of the squad has had an outstanding tournament. Due to join Champions League winners Porto next month.

Traianos Dellas
Rehhagel calls him the ‘‘pillar in my defence’’ and Dellas has done everything to live up to that name.

Michalis Kapsis
Has formed a formidable partnership with Dellas but was responsible for conceding a goal against Spain when he failed to close down Morientes

Takis Fyssas
Has brought pace and control to the left flank and was instrumental in keeping the Portuguese wingers pinned to the sidelines.

Angelos Basinas
Basinas converted a penalty against Portugal and has played a more defensive role than he is used to. Has created space in a tight midfield

Giorgos Karagounis
Midfield workhorse has shone in Portugal. His control and strength were badly missed in the 2-1 defeat by Russia

Giannakopoulos
Lively winger had a memorable opening match but limped off injured against Spain. Has missed two games but expected to return

Zagorakis
The Greek captain was man of the match in the opener against Portugal and has led his team by example.

Zisis Vryzas
Otto Rehhagel’s most dependable striker in the tournament, playing on the left to form strong partnership with Haristeas.

Angelos Haristeas
Talented young striker has scored two goals in the tournament. His perfect header against France sealed the biggest upset
