Alvaro Negredo to start for Spain!

He finally gets off the bench and replaces Fabregas in the first XI.

Hugo Almeida to start for Portugal in place of injured Helder Postiga.

Shinji san, just woke up isit?

What False 9? Negredo is a true blue centreforward ok, ala David Villa style of play.

Big Hugo will give Spain defence problems. Pique and Ramos may look big and rugged but they don't like to be pushed around.

low scoring

match winning goal at extra time.

Portugal are pressing hard, not allowing Spain to play tiki taka.

Based on the performance of the 1st half, you can't help feeling that Portugal could nick a goal.
By their standards, the Spanish are not playing well.

Boss, why did not the herds believe me when I said Spain can't win? It's so obvious that the peacock will lead the selecao to victory

 

[THE_CHANSTER]

What is Negredo doing?? He is the invisible man. Might as well bring on Torres.

 

[no_faith]

I smell penalty shoot out.

 

[THE_CHANSTER]

Extra time. But Peacock should have killed the game in the 87min.

 

[laksaboy]

The Ronaldo peacock walk backwards to take a free kick was too funny.

 

[THE_CHANSTER]

Spain look beatable but whoever wins tonite will lose against Germany on Sunday.

Look at his free-kicks for the past 5 years. All power and no accuracy.

Couldn't agree more.
