Spain are gonna do what they always do to other teams; squeeze the life out of Portugal SLOWLY like a Boa Constrictor.

Portugal stand no chance...

Barcelona midfielder Busquets dismissed the notion that the likes of Sergio Ramos and Xabi Alonso may be tempted to go soft on their club team-mate to avoid injuring him.

"If the Real players are told to go strong into a challenge on Ronaldo, they will go strong," Busquets was quoted as saying by O Jogo. "These aren't club clashes but national team clashes. It is a different story altogether."

The only way Portugal can proceed is if Spain imploded, kinda like what Barca did against Man U in 2008 and Chelsea last season.

If Portugal win this the butthurtedness will be legendary. Similar to Real beating Barca.

With that said, Spain are favorites, but this isnt gonna be as one sided as some might think. It wasnt one sided back in 2010 and it wont be now.

Spain are past their peak, like Barca, they will only go downhill from now. And Portugal have their beast team since 2006. The only stars in the team might be Ronaldo and Nani, but the team plays as a team, as a unit, which matters much more than the individual skill of players.

I'm pretty excited for this game. If Portugal score early, it will be extremely entertaining. If Spain score at the beginning, it will be boring as hell.

Why would I when Portugal makes me even more sleepy. Atleast Spain has Iniesta and Silva who are beautiful to watch...

Well that's just your opinion and it's like totally wrong. humph

How much you wanna bet that Portugal will park the bus infront the goal like they did against Germany once more against Spain and make this game as boring as that game?

What would you have Portugal do?

Why should they run around and waste energy chasing Spain when anytime they press Spain will just work the ball back to Casillas and pass it around in their own half as they always do? Total Waste. :coffee:

I agree with harhar11, people are unfair to Spain's football in general. I don't think it's as bad people make it to be. I actually tought they played good football yesterday until they got their goal.

I never said that they should play another way, I was just answering why I wont join Great Leader Sprucenuce on trying to make #SaveusCR trending topics, simply because I find portugals style even more boring..
