Oh and for a prediction : Ronaldo will play like a moron because it's Spain so he'll touch 2 balls in 75 min and thus Portugal will look like "Chelsea". 1-0 for Spain after another boring match.
PLEASE MAKE ME WRONG PORTUGAL
All Ronaldo will need is 2 touches if he gets one on one with Arbeloa dude xD I mean, that is the miss match of the century! And we know the wingers for Spain will be no where to be seen tracking back, so an isolated Arbeloa vs Ronaldo is going to be a joy to watch for Portugal fans and the neutrals lol.

Spain beat you when it actually mattered, like they always beat you when it matters. Portugal have a terrible record vs Spain.

Why the hell would you think a team as defensive as Spain is ever going to let Ronaldo be 1 vs 1 with anybody?
Ronaldo rarely goes past players anymore anyway, he just scores goals and lots of them. He's gone from the next Garrincha from his Sporting/early United days to the next Van Basten. Ronaldo also tends to be a huge big game bottler especially with Portugal so I expect him to do little.

Hmm? Did you not see him vs Barcelona this season? Was awesome in that game. And did you also not hear Alonso in press conference? He said they are not even making any special plans for Ronaldo, they will study his play but not do anything special marking wise. So to me that says, they are just going to make sure Portugal don't get the football. But they will, and Ronaldo will be 1 on 1 with Arbeloa quite easily. Only reason Barca do well vs him is because Alves' pace matches Ronaldo's

I cannot for the life of me understand why on earth you would equate a very offensive team like Barcelona with the way this Spanish team play, have you actually watched Spain and Barcelona play? Not to mention that even by this mindless logic Ronaldo has about a 10% rate of playing well vs Barcelona, he is usually awful vs Barcelona.
You are also taking the words of managers pre match on face value. I really do wonder if this is the first tournament you've ever watched football.
I pretty much can't remember a single occasion this entire tournament or in the World Cup 2010 where any player for any team got themselves in a 1 vs 1 situation with a Spanish defender, and you honestly believe that the one guy they will give that space to is Cristiano Ronaldo? Absolute madness.

Can you drop it with this tone aeroplane?
It's not everyones' first tournament when they are disagreeing with you is it?
Cristiano is a great player and can do much and more in his day and certainly vs this spanish side.
And I'm the biggest messi fanboy ever and I also think that spain has the edge.

If they can tie Ronaldo down, Spain will dominate this game.

Balotelli 1v1 Ramos, skinned him alive....missed a 1on1 from it, probably miss of tournament....theres one.
I have watched to much football, i have watched every international tournament since 98 world cup, when i was 8.
You just have your vision of what is what and don't allow for anyone elses' opinion that is fine, i understand where your logic is coming from but you clearly didnt watch a galatico this season if you think Ronaldo "didn't do anything" in those matches. he won the copa del rey final vs them in 2010 and in 2011-12 season when they finally beat them in the league for the first time in like 2/3 seasons it was Ronaldo who rounded valdes with a stunning finish.
Barcelona are Spain minus Spain doesn't have the Messi, if they had a Messi they would walk every competition they play, but they don't hense the teams like Switzerland Portugal England have all beaten them in the past 2 years.
Lets just see what happens before you respond and criticise everything i have just wrote please! After the game, if it goes the way your expecting it too and Ronaldo does nothing feel free to quote me as much as you like

We drew 1-1 in Euro 1984. We beat them 1-0 in Euro 2004. They beat us 1-0 in the World Cup 2010. 1-1-1. TERRIBLE RECORD!

People(and teams) put to much focus on Ronaldo, works as a double edge sword... or Ronaldo stays in 1on1 or there will be plenty of gaps in the rest of the field. IMO both Ronaldo and Nani have pretty easy wings if they are unsupported, but its spain and all it matters is the team game....
Expecting a great game with few goals.
GOGO Portugal!!!

This will be the 10th time that portugal will play with spain since 1982 (last 30 years). In the 9 games that were played since then there are 5 draws 2 wins and 2 losses. So i don't see the terrible record there...
There is a Terrible record because between 1920 and 1950 portugal played with spain 20 times and lost 14... But what is statistics in todays football?
Spain is the better team, but Portugal is no push-over. I expect a great game.
Go Portugal.

OMG...finally someone calls it like it is. No matter how many goals he can score, to me he was a better player in the second (or third?) year in Mutd than when he won the best player award or now with RM. (although the rest of your posting is, as usual ever since I saw you appear in SC2 threads, full of "I know better than everyone else!!!!" attitude)
I made a freaking huge post regarding all the fails from Ronaldo and the blindness that seems to surround him but that is not the point of this thread so it was deleted. To the point, Im not happy about it but I see Spain taking this unless they begin the game overconfident.
They will have the ball, we will counter with speed from Ronaldo and Nani, hopefully Hugo Almeida will remember how to shoot from long range and will be calm enough to finish in close range when opportunity arises. I expect a 1-0 or 2-1 for Spain but if I let the bias free, I can see our defense holding and a fast counter hitting an overconfident Spain for a 1-0 victory for Portugal.
Either way, for non Portuguese or Spanish fans, this will probably be a boring game (unless you like watching Spain pass around, I do but I know some people dont actually enjoy it). For us it will probably be as exciting as against the Czechs even with reversed roles this time.

If both teams perform similar to their last games, I think Portugal actually has a shot at winning. Nani has to perform better though. And the referee is a very strict one, so players have to watch out.

I can't even beleive im getting caught up in this nonsense but i just cant help myself.
This Video
Shows a few complimations of Ronaldo, some of his Man Utd days i admit, but also there is shots of him of RM, taking players on with his pace and skills. I don't get how you can possibly say Ronaldo doesn't take players on 0.O is running past players with pace no taking people on? I think it is.

I hope for Portugal, I don't wanna see the Re-Re-Rematch vs Spain for us.
|
hmmm! Spain is probably going to win this, hope for Portugal though :D Going to be a sick match!

Czech Republic is nowhere near Spain's level.
Spain will have twice the shots that Portugal will have this game.

Hoping for an early goal, otherwise I can see it being quite dull until the last 10 min
