I'm neither Italian nor do I label myself as an "Italy fan", I simply enjoy watching good football whether it's on a club or international level. I love how the Azzurri are performing in this Euro so far and would love to see them reach the final. The point here is that Travisbickle said the reason Italy lost against S. Korea in 2002 was because of their diving and Vieri missing a chance, which is an absolutely absurd claim to any football fan who watched that match, hence my previous reply.

Hopefully Spain play with a striker today instead of six midfielders so that the game isn't too boring

Portugal need to get Ronaldo on the ball and early. Spain will look to keep it and frustrate Portugal and especially Ronaldo. When Ronaldo loses focus he becomes ineffective.
Can't really see anything other than Spain winning. They always look like they're just one mistake away from messing up and it feels like they play too safe...but they've not gone wrong yet and it just seems like they're in total control.
1-0 Spain.

Have a feeling Spain are going to come out all guns blazing in this match and hammer the Portugese

Neutral but will sort of cheer for Spain. I can totally see it going goal-less until the last fifteen minutes and Portugal(not Ronaldo) getting one in though.
I see, Schürrle and Reus are bros. I guess we must buy Schürrle now.
Götze - Reus - Schürrle
would be nice
Reus should totally change his name to Reüs.
The only good team they played was Italy, and it was a close match. Ronaldo and Nani should be the key to this match. If they get enough space (and let's face it, Albeloa should be nowhere near this match) we can do this.

Francesco Totti was sent off for diving, and Vieri missed two clear shots on goal, to pretend those incidents didn't have an effect on the game is ludicrous and would never be said by anyone that knows anything about football.
So because Totti was sent off for diving, it automatically means he dived?

Yeah, but he didn't dive - he was clearly fouled.
I don't want to start any conspiracy theories. Why would the ref do that on purpose?
Bribes? Then why did they stop bribing when they lost against Germany? Come on.
I just believe that this was one of the worst officiated games ever, and that this fact alone cost Italy the game.
UEFA refuse to have a minute's silence for Miki Roqué ahead of Spain-Portugal.
morons
Maybe if the minute of silence was accompanied by a Hyundai commercial, that they could work with.
Fucking UEFA, i hate them more every day.
Or they would count the minute down from 60.
It's a shame. I wonder what their explanation is?
Maybe they can't be fucked to fine Portugal if there's any chanting or Platini's pockets won't hold any more dough

Let's go Spain. Don't want to hear my obnoxious portuguese neighbors celebrating today.
Best wishes to our PortuGAF neighbours, hoping for a great match today
Let´s hope all the players behave and not turn this into an ill tempered match. Goodluck

I just realized that Germany has yet to wear their green shirts

I saw a few spectators wear it in Lviv. Pretty shirt.
It's all about Ronaldo for Portugal tonight, if he's in top form, Spain are doomed.
The defender clipped Totti's foot which made him fall, how's that diving? What about the other many unfair decisions as in the video I posted? The mental effect of that whole scandalous refereeing had a far greater effect on the end result than missing two chances on goal.

Coentrão will be the hero of the match tonight, my prediction
From reddit:
I laughed out loud in the office.
Without Messi? Pffft Ronaldo will eat them alive for dinner.

He´s already preparing for the match:
I like how I googled Chow Yun Fat thumbs up gif and there's only 1 under this. I think most people must not recognize him or something.

Haha, yeah. People. Seriously.
Saw that gif 1394580 times and never recognized him. Mind blown.
Poor Iniesta, always being ganged up.

Goddamn I am getting super nervous for this game.
Hens are worthless against bulls, I thought France shown as much.

What have Portugal ever accomplished to make their fans so confident?
At least Spain and Italy and Germany you can kind of understand the fans being a bit cocky given the history. But...Portugal?
