Im sorry that Spain got through but Portugal didnt deserve to win it. I thought that Ramos will do what he did in the final of the CL but he chose to be like Pirlo and not like Alves on the other side.
i like the whole game. i thought portugal played some gutsy football and not just defending at the back. like italy croatia , portugal test them. that last minutes when portugal broke counterattack with 4 players with meireles passing to cristina he should have buried that.
good game actually.

Congratulations Spain. You played better and deserved to go through.
Never expected Portugal to come this far (expected to be last on the group tbh ), so I'm relatively happy.
And I want to give praise to Moutinho. He was imo the best Portugal player in the Euros

Ronaldo chose to take the 5th penalty to claim all the glory and perform his douche-bag celebrations. Oh, how that worked against him.

Re: Semi final: Portugal vs Spain discussion
I remember 3 good actions from ronaldo:
1. good cross from left gathered by Iker
2. quick shot from right at near post
3. great throughball to almeide to wide left.
Other than that, failed hard. Repeatedly dispossesed by arbeloa, ramos, pique, alba. Was fouled hard a couple of times.

Spain played way better towards the end of normal time and in extra time. Pedro and Navas definitely made a difference. Spain don't really need all those midfielders. Also Alba did well bombing down the left flank all game. Overall Spain deserve it.
I think that this game is proof that the reason why Spain is playing so boring is because of Del Bosque. When Pedro and Navas came in Spain had alot more speed and width, the same happend against France....
I really dont like Del Bosque. If Spain wins the Euro, which they likely will, then it will be despite of Del Bosque, like it was at the WC, and because of the legends that this Spain team has..

Great comments.
Re: Semi final: Portugal vs Spain discussion
Silva was awful, Pique was awful.
Spain were the better team and deserved to go thru.

Re: Semi final: Portugal vs Spain discussion
Gotta give it to Portugal and Spanish defenses tonight. Both of them were excellent.
Gutted that Pepe and Coentrao are going home while having their best international performance upto date.

Portugal played a perfect game defensively. Game could've gone either way and it would've been deserved.
Credit to Spain

Ramos had to chip it...if he had tried to actually kick the ball we'd have another math equation on our hands

Re: Semi final: Portugal vs Spain discussion
good game, but to be honest, 120 minutes of Football with hardly any clearcut chances is nothing i need to watch too often.

I don't think anyone played that badly yesterday on both sides tbh.
There were some stand out players though for sure.

Re: Semi final: Portugal vs Spain discussion
He was good. Don’t get me wrong. He even had CR in his pocket at some instances.
However a lot of his interventions seemed shaky to me. Unsure.
Maybe it was just me but he didn’t inspire confidence when he was clearing his area.
Again maybe it’s me. I always expect much from him

Think thumbs down is pretty out of bounds, especially seeing as you dont have Arbeloa on that list.
I didnt see anything shaky at all. Frankly he dominated back there.

I don’t have Arbeloa in the list simply because I do not expect anything from him.
You are right tough. Thumbs down was too much as he was solid defensively.
Still I insist that most time he was under pressure his clearances didn’t seem confident to me.
