[ElNono]

Portugal 3-Spain 1

[DAF86]

Spain 2 - 1, or something like that. A close but unexciting game, where neither team does much.

[boston.balla]

if spain don't make stupid mistakes they should win.

[Sense]

3-2 Spain

I really wish I could watch this or any world cup action. Unfortunately I'm camping for week and barely have even a phone signal. Should be a great match.

:rollin looool the little piece of shit

[lefty]

1-0 Portugal

[ElNono]

O Rly?

Who do you have scoring?

2x Simao, Tiago

[mudyez]

whoever scores first will win!...both teams are to good to lay back then...they can maintain possession very well and counter if the other team has to open it up.

If Spain scores first I have Villa...for Portugal I'd say Ronaldo (I' know, its a boring pick).

my guess: 2:0 Spain which will have a pretty easy matchup in the next round (as far as easy can get in the WC)

[Dinamita]

Meh.. Don't like either team but my fantasy team is filled with players from both squads. :lol

[Bukefal]

I dont get it and I never will get it. People standing in the crowd with flags and stuff of their/a country, while their/that country is not even playing. It's stupid and sad really. You see it a lot. If you just want to attend the game, fine, but leave your flag of your own country at home :lol :bang

[ElNono]

Argentine ref. If I'm Portugal, I go straight at Puyol...

[resistanze]

Only if they could both lose.

[Sense]

LOL did he just break his knees/ankles?

[Sense]

Villa's trying really hard to get the first goal... :) this is good. Captain VILLA SCORE!

[Spurologist]

just asked a question to James Anderson on live chat.....seems to be saying all the right things. :tu

[Spurologist]

Ramos :lol

[resistanze]

"Spain are the only team that has not yet received any card in the 2010 World Cup. In total, they have not received a single card in their last six matches in all competitions, since Sergio Ramos was booked in their 2-0 friendly win in France on March 3."

[Spurologist]

Fabio Coentrao is class

[Sense]

Wow Iker

[Muser]

yawn.

[Muser]

Iker looks prety bad so far.

Oh and lol Italy.

[Spurologist]

Damn.....who else in the world can strike that well from that distance....maybe Juninho

[Warlord23]

Casillas is a disaster waiting to happen, if they face a decent free kick team

[DAF86]

Does Cristiano get money for every time he falls to the ground?

[MannyIsGod]

Jesus Christ Ronaldo's dives make me want to punch a baby.

[ElNono]

lol Ronaldo
lol Casillas

[MannyIsGod]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL This guy flops when anyone looks at him. God damn.

[ElNono]

Glad the ref is not falling for it

[Sense]

Out of the 3 falls he's probably been fouled once.

[Sense]

That had to hurt

[Spurologist]

Out of the 3 falls he's probably been fouled once.

his reputation precedes him but it looks like there was contact on all those plays

[Muser]

That was good play from Iker.

[DAF86]

his reputation precedes him but it looks like there was contact on all those plays

I know you're a fan but you don't need to defend him every single time, his floping on this game has been evident.

[mudyez]

That was good play from Iker.

he is one of the best in the world...didnt look that way in the first 40 minutes but especially things like now (going out, playing fottball) show, that he is a good one

[mudyez]

I know you're a fan but you don't need to defend him every single time, his floping on this game has been evident.

I see him getting a yellow card in this game...so he wont play in the QF even if Portugal wins!

[Sense]

:lol Portugal climbing on them

[DAF86]

he is one of the best in the world...didnt look that way in the last season but especially things like now (going out, playing fottball) show, that he is a good one

Fixed.

[DAF86]

I see him getting a yellow card in this game...so he wont play in the QF even if Portugal wins!

Baldassi doesn't book players that flop, as we could already see in this game.

[ElNono]

Good game. At least both are taking risks and going forward...

[velik_m]

Good game so far, only thing missing is the goals.

[Warlord23]

Portugal hanging back and waiting to land the sucker punch on the counter. Despite Spain's possession advantage, Portugal have had the better chances.

It looks like Spain will find it difficult to score, barring a Portugal mistake. OTOH, with Casillas in goal, Portugal will fancy their chances off a set piece or counter attack.

[Muser]

Has Torres done much? I've not really noticed him.

[MannyIsGod]

Portugal should be up 1-0 right now. Spain's going to have to do better in the box. I can't remember who it was but he had the defender turned around with his back to him in the box and HE PASSED IT BACK OUT - I was like WTF??!?!

[Whisky Dog]

We're playing with fire, been caught a bit behind the play a couple of times but recovered. The quality is on display, every small mistake is turning into a decent run but the finishes haven't come.

I was hoping for an early 1-0 lead to make Portugal press then stick another one or two in their backs, but looks like it's going to be a battle.

[Whisky Dog]

Has Torres done much? I've not really noticed him.

Not since the 10th minute. He had a pass sweet in the box late but didn't position himself for the one touch into the net and lost possession on the touch.

[quentin_compson]

This is going Portugal's way so far. They don't give Spain any room whatsoever and look rock solid on the defensive end.
Maybe Spain should try to increase the pace of the game, although it's easier said than done, of course.

How many teams do you have?

[velik_m]

I would replace Torres if i was Spain's coach, he's simply not in form right now.

[ElNono]

I think Portugal is yet to receive a goal in this World Cup...

[DAF86]

I think Portugal is yet to receive a goal in this World Cup...

I think Portugal is yet to receive a goal in the last 16 months.

[urunobili]

I think Portugal is yet to receive a goal in the last 16 months.

:wow

[quentin_compson]

Well, as Spurs fans, we should somehow be enjoying this display of great defense. :hat

I'm still rooting for Spain, though.

[ffadicted]

Precisely why I have done my homework and left Villa on the bench this round even though he's been my top scorer for every round but the first.

Everybody get ready to see a Villa goal, lol.

[lefty]

This game sucks

[Warlord23]

The Spanish have been on their backs more than a $10 hooker. With that much skill, dunno why they need to flop every now and then.

[mudyez]

This game sucks

agree...I thought Japan-Paraguay was bad, but they at least can say, that they have nor Ronaldo, Xavi, Torres and so on on their teams.

a penalty shootout might recompense us again!

Who would be your 5 shooters for each team?

I'll start by giving one each...someone else adding 1 apiece and so on

Spain: Iniesta
Portugal: Ronaldo

[Spurologist]

Everybody get ready to see a Villa goal, lol.

Seemed offside to me

lol cheap tshirts

[Whisky Dog]

How many teams do you have?

Well, I was born in Barcelona, a lot my extended family is there, but have lived in the US since I was little, am a citizen here, work and pay my taxes here.

So it's US and Spain for obvious reasons.

Just like a kid from Mexico who comes to live in US and grows up in US would probably support both.

Where's Ronaldo and his band of lovers?

Although I`m a Real MAdrid fan, I HATE Ronaldo :lol

How lame is to wear a rubberband to hold your hair with your name on it?

[IronMexican]

Ronaldo, Torres or Messi can now be put to rest. Messi is the best player in the world right now.

[it's me]

Ronaldo Torres and Rooney have all sucked ass.

Hello .... Messi :lmao

And Villa is going to play with Messi in Barcelona? Holy shit

[ElNono]

Ronaldo got the best seats in the house... :lol

[lefty]

Hello .... Messi :lmao
Messi is playing well

Sure he hasnt scored, but that`s because the defenses have been collapsing on him

[Sense]

Ronaldo, Torres or Messi can now be put to rest. Messi is the best player in the world right now.

Personally, I think Villa needs to be there instead of Torres... in fact Torres shouldn't even be considered one of the best right now.

[ffadicted]

And Villa is going to play with Messi in Barcelona? Holy shit

lol spanish league is such a joke, it's like putting the lakers in the D-league

[DAF86]

Hello .... Messi :lmao

He didn't say Messi 'cause he hasn't sucedk ass. :wakeup

[IronMexican]

Torres was considered top 3 by most. Villa is way outplaying him, though.

[Sense]

You didn't know this?

I didn't think Barcelona could get much better... but Messi and Villa? Jesus.

Yes

I agree the PL is overhyping players

But ot be fair, Torres is injured too

[DAF86]

WTF Portugal? show some fucking pride. You're 10 minutes away of getting eliminated and you just stand on your own half watching.

[ElNono]

You mean the Lakers are not in the D-League? :hat

[DAF86]

Yes

True, but even fit he's nowhere close to the third best player in the world, same as Rooney, they're both great forwards but they don't deserve to be in the discussion of best player in the world.

[Libri]

Portugal failing to put pressure on the ball.

[ElNono]

I thought Portugal had some pride... big mistake

[DAF86]

Villa was offside.

LOL FIFA

LMAO, that red line isn't even close to being parallel with the pitch.
I know :D

[MannyIsGod]

Look at the red line again :lol

Yeah I did, pretty close either way I guess.

What was crazy about this game was that after the scored Spain got even more chances and Portugal didn't even get a shot on goal if I'm not mistaken.

[IronMexican]

It wasn't offside. And I wanted Portugal to win.

[ElNono]

That line is skewed, but he's offside by at least a leg. You can see the linesman is actually behind the virtual line, so he couldn't possibly see it through the sea of players.

[lefty]

Buahahahahahahaha

Not arrogant Portuguese celebrating in Montreal streets :tu

[Whisky Dog]

ESPN just ran the stop motion and line and showed it even, maybe a toe off. A toe off is even

[Whisky Dog]

I can't wait to see Villa and Messi playing up front for Barca with Xavi and Iniesta working the midfield feeding them passes.

Also should help for Euro 2012 to have Villa/Xavi working together at club at get very in sync

[ElNono]

TBH, this game could have gone either way. Portugal had more than a couple chances to score out there.

[quentin_compson]

Yeah, that was a lahm play

(did you see what I did here?)


You know some German, lefty?

Yeah, it was offside, but it was really really close. This decision was nowhere near what we all had to witness on Sunday.
Also, Portugal was just not able to put any pressure on Spain's defense when they had to. Good defense will only take so far.

[easy7]

Spain wasn't offsides, VIVA ESPANA!!!

[Bukefal]

I havent seen the end, but did Ronaldo really spit in the camera when leaving the field?

Damn, I hate the guy, but I hate him even 100 x more because of that. Freakin idiot. He is the most arrogant little piece of shit around.

Are you trying to convice us that all the ref's work on this cup has been on the money? Why did you not post that Carlos Tevez was also offside on that first goal against Mexico? Does this mean that Argentina can get away with shit and not Spain? People from Argentina or who support Argentina should be the last motherfuckers talking about offsides.

I hope Spain or Holland win the world cup. I sick and tired of always the same teams winning it every four years. The Brazil's, Italy's, Argentina's, and the Germany's winning it all the time is slowly killing soccer, and also those stupid refs.

I said Spain wasn't offside. Go back and read, you even corrected me on the post. And yes, I do agree that FIFA should use replay to get rid of such horrible calls that we have on this world cup. And yes Villa was offsides and it is another bad mark for the refs and more support for replay technology.
