EURO Special
Pitch ready for use
Euro 2008 organisers said on Wednesday the new Basel pitch had been laid successfully and would be ready for Portugal to train on later in the day ahead of Thursday's quarterfinal against Germany.
A torrential downpour at last Wednesday's Group A match between co-hosts Switzerland and Turkey, and further rain during the Swiss match with Portugal on Sunday, left the pitch badly damaged, prompting the unusual decision by UEFA to relay it.
