1. Today is like a big Real Madrid (a.k.a. Portugal - ugly, direct and effective football) against Barcelona (a.k.a. Spain - gorgeous, elaborate football). I, for once, will be heartfully supporting Spain
  2. Spain midfielder Andres Iniesta has rejected claims his team's playing style is boring ahead of their Euro 2012 semi-final against Portugal. invests insists Spain's defensive-minded opponents are to blame for games that have been low on goalmouth drama.

    "When a team always wants to attack against an opponent who shuts up shop, football is not as attractive as when the game is open," he said. "Our style of play has led us to success, to winning titles."

    Spain's possession-based style, known as "tiki-taka", has helped them win the 2008 European Championship and 2010 World Cup. But at Euro 2012, they have come in for criticism for lacking attacking intent and strangling the life out of games.


    I guess it's up to the viewer as to what they like in football. There's nothing wrong with a tactical game, but sitting in the middle to final third passing the ball around, waiting, waiting, waiting until that one killer ball can be made isn't for me. I love fast flowing, end to end football. Interesting to see how Spain will cope with Nani and Ronaldo on the counterattack. Pen Portugal in all game, but Ronaldo will break away time and time again.
  3. Rooting for Portugal. Since I want to score on the predictions, had to take some risk =P
  4. Spain- Portugal 2-1
  5. My predicition: Spain will win on penalties.
  6. Well he did in the Champions League semi-final.
  7. Spain- Portugal 2-0

  8. At least Sergio Ramos is playing for Spain this time haha

  9. HAHAHAHAHAHA -O_

    I love all the Ramos gags, they're really funny

    And yes, I know Cristiano did it. That's why it would be extremely funny

  10. Me too, especially if it's the decisive one

    I know how Portugal is able to win. Imagine the second half, all the players run onto the pitch again. And there's Ronaldo.. completely BALD! When the players of Spain are recovered from this, they're already down 0-2

    Or will he leave this tactic for the final? It's a one-timer..

    All crazyness aside, I hope for a fantastic game with a few goals and some brilliant playing from the Spanish midfield Spain
