Why are people hostile to Spain. I wudda thought they would be the purist choice to win.

Boredom I would say. And I would also say that there is no such thing as a 'purist' in soccer as there is no real 'pure' way of playing the game.
Give me flair and excitement anyday over possession (until somebody makes a mistake or wanders out of position) football . Gets the job done but boring as f**k to watch.

Ronaldo is going to have to do a lot defensively in this one, if like we all expect Spain dominate possession. Reckon he will be up for it?

Portugal was never a colony of Spain. Your taking our history and relations with Britain and applying it to their's.


Spain will win 2-1. Portugal are incapable of being clinical in the last third without Ronaldo and he has to have the ball to do anything with it. The game will probably open up a bit near the end with Portugal mainly counter attacking. If Portugal sit back they'll lose, which they will.

Will you ever take your serious post and shove it :mad: wasent taking any ****ing history relations from anywhere you fool.

Infract this time. If you are uncivil like that again it'll be a ban.

Lionel Messy

As much as i like Gomez, I think Germany should go with Klose again just for his movement. I'd imagine Ozil prefers him in the team as he's so much easier to link with.

I see Spain being to good for Portugal tomorrow night. It could be a frustrating night for Ronaldo not getting much of the ball. He needs to perform if Portugal cause a surprise.

Sunnyisland

Ok. apologies to Sindri and boards.

I had Klose in my fantasy football team before the tournament because despite his age I couldn't see Gomez getting the nod ahead of him, saying that Gomez finishing has been top notch so far.

Roger Sterling

While Gomex might carry a better goal threat (buts thats literally all he does - a pure box-only player), Klose suits the team better as he's more mobile and contributes to the team's general play more.

If it was me I'd start Klose and if a goal is needed spring Gomez from the bench.

Hoping for a German win I've a few Europes riding on them winning it outright.

kfallon

Anyone have a sneaky bet on tonight's game, find it very hard to call (even for a first goalscorer bet) so I'm keeping my wallet closed.

You'd expect Spain to win but I am loathe to bet against any team with a goal machine like Ronaldo in it!

Roger Sterling

Hope Portugal win tonight, I've a massive horn for Ronaldo and all his antics not to mention the fact that Spain bore me to death. They try to beat you with death by a thousand cuts. Horrible to watch.

They're going to be playing for the memory of Miki Roque who died during the week at the age of 23 after a battle with cancer.

I don't know who that is, but 'cancer' and '23' should never appear in the same sentence. Ugh.

Surely it's only Germany that can stop Spain now? If I was a betting man ...

Tragic alright, 23 is a ridiculous age to die. He was a youth player with Liverpool up to a couple of years ago.

I can't see past a Spain, Germany final, although I'd love to see Portugal do it.

Portugal are the better team so far imho.

Definately the better team, but I get the feeling they are gonna pay for not taking chances.

That poor yellow card must be exhausted.
