Czech Republic goalkeeper Petr Cech has warned his team against complacency when they meet Greece in their Euro 2004 semi-final on Thursday. "They are well organised, good in defence and not easy to score against," Cech told BBC Sport.
But the Czech Republic ousted Denmark 3-0 in their quarter-final and Cech is confident of a positive result.
"Greece are quick on the break. They are a dangerous team but I think we can beat them," said Cech.
"This is the best they have ever done and they will not want it to stop now - we already know what their tactics will be and they will try and hit us on the counter-attack.
"We have played well at Euro 2004 and in our country everyone is very happy with our performances.
"We are confident because we have played very well until now and we think we can go all the way to the final and hopefully even win it.
"First we must beat Greece, but if we got to the final it would be great whoever we played.
"But it would be very interesting if we could play Portugal in their own country at the Estadio da Luz - that would be a big occasion for us." Team-mate Tomas Rosicky expects Greece to pose different problems than Denmark.
"It will be a much different game," he said.
"They are defensively very good and play on the counter attack so we must be very careful.
"Denmark combined very well. I thought they played well against us. Greece stay behind and play on counter attacks."
Meanwhile, giant striker Jan Koller is relishing the physical battle he expects from Greece.

"The semi-final will be very physical because they are a very well organised team," Koller said. "We will have to be patient. We cannot afford to get frustrated because that would play into their hands."
Koller also had words of praise for strike partner Milan Baros.
"Milan is playing brilliantly and he is always scoring and causing problems for our opponents," he added,
"Now we must keep working towards our goal and it is also important that we did not concede a goal which is a big step forward for us."
The Czech Republic scored three times in a 16-minute spell in the second-half of their match with Denmark to seal their place in Thursday's semi-final in Porto.
And Karel Bruckner's team are the only team in the tournament to have won all their games.
