Portugal won't win Euro2008

My bird and RH are both rooting for Portugal. Portugal is one of the tournament favourites with a strong midfield that includes star players like Ronaldo and Deco. Yes... they won their opening game 2-0 and will most likely qualify out of their group for the next round. 
But they won't win it all, why? They don't have a world-class striker who can guarantee goals. Their ordinary strikers hardly touch the ball during games because their midfielders are too skillful and seldom involve them in plays. This results in a lot of pressure on the rest of the team to contribute with goals. This was evident in today's game with goals coming from their defense (Pepe) and midfield (Raul Meireles).
