Pressure on Hosts - Ruud 1st S'Final 7.45p.m. Holland striker Ruud van Nistelrooy believes that the pressure will be on hosts Portugal ahead of their semi-final tonight. "They are the home nation and everybody will expect them to win. We hope we can do the same," he said. "But playing in Portugal against Portugal will be difficult. That is a great challenge for every team. "We have faced top-class opposition so far as well so I hope we can play at our best on Wednesday." Holland coach Dick Advocaat echoed his striker's sentiments but expects his team to perform well against Portugal. "Portugal having home support will be an advantage, there's no doubt about that," admitted Advocaat. "But our team is very determined to get a good result on Wednesday and the pressure is on the Portugal side, so that will help very well."
