Portugal vs Spain

briany

Portugal are giving Spain a torrid time but they have no end product. Spain being Spain will only need a couple of good chances, if that, to put this game beyond their opponents. The problem with Portugal is they just don't seem to have any real grit in the final 3rd. Nani went down despite being possibly through on goal and Ronaldo is pacey but his wing trickery would have produced a result by now if it were enough and he's not exactly known for his resistance to diving either. Expecting some serious Portuguese frustration in the final 15 of this one.

Mr.Crinklewood

Good foul.

Nuri Sahin

I love this ref, just give us one more booking

Dempsey

Fabregas is making a difference since he came on

Was Busquets just booked for looking Ronaldo to get booked? Delighted for him if so.

Think he waved an imaginary card

Paparazzo

That was a dive from Fabregas.

He's ran with the ball once but I suppose it more than negrano did so making a difference wouldn't be all that hard

He was pulled though, so it was a free

Good to see the scumbag Busquets getting booked. If Portugal had a decent striker they would win this. Almeida, Postiga are just not good enough.

Great ball Ronaldo but Almeida is useless.

He needs to come off, BIG TIME

How can you say that and then say Nani dived when Ramos blatantly moved to block him in the 1st half?

Again Almeida shoots wildly from the wing, get him the fcuk off! Only thing he's done is that defensive header.

Almeida is shîte

Off topic, but Bert van Marwijk has resigned.

Almeida you headbanger!

HazDanz

Portugal looking a little tired, giving the ball away

No, there was a hand on him, he wasn't pulled. He obviously felt the hand and dived.

There was an article in the sun today saying he had dropped Vdv , Huntelaar and Kuyt from the next squad I thought that was bit rich from him . Glad he's gone there a good team need a new manger to take them in a different direction .

Febregas was held. Nani dived.

Not that hard to explain.

It's so annoying attacking player loses it in the opposition half, he lies down knowing opposition will kick it out and their team can relax

It should be a free to the other team if you kick it out he ref has a ****ing whistle let him blow it.

But Febregas's was a free and Nani's wasn't

Not every contact is a free you know.

Torres must feel like a complete donkey, totally being ignored

adox

Portugal up to eleven players now.

Alba free kick there. I hate it when referees give a free when a player goes down and starts roaring.

If you're trying to convert a neutral to football then telling them that Spain is the best team in the world would not be very convincing.

Turtyturd

Strange one.

Last stat according to Ger Canning was 53% for Spain and 47% for Mayo.

Hank Scorpio

Hate how Houghton always says It didn't look like a foul, or someone got lucky and completely changes his stance when he sees the replay

Totally agree watching Spain is boring as ****, no entertainment in any of their games.

We're going to keep giving you free kicks until you get one.
