good thing that spain always plays fair
It's never as bad as Portugal, even Italy plays cleaner these days.
Have you actually watched the game?
This one, most of the others in this tournament, and many more. I assume you watched that too since you asked, so you must have been too biased to notice Nani's at least 2 and Cristiano's one clear dive. Among other things, obviously.
Good thing that you missed all the crap from spain And no, im not biased, game was amazingly disgusting, i hope ger vs ita winners will take the tourney, the reason why i responded is because your post made me quite sad.
why would it make you sad? Portugal plays on the ground more than they play on their feet, they are literally one of the biggest scumbag teams for many years. Spain is bad but not as bad as portugal. (I'd say italy is worse though, the country is shaped like someone's foot taking a dive after all and you got the diving tower of pisa too ^>^)
Why? Because you post shitty biased video and after that you deny that spain is as good at acting as portugal? Oh wait, got a plan:
This stuff makes me a sad panda,too... I am of course biased but I want the winner of Italy vs Germany to nick it, too. Italy may have a bad reputation about the diving shit, but in the game versus England you hardly saw anyone bitching,whining and complaining at every opportunity.
Today I saw one ugly foul against Fabregas in the second half. Offender did not get a card for it, BUT the players make it very hard for the ref to distinguish between real ugly fouls and normal fighting for the ball with all their moaning, bitching and complaining. Just have a look at the second half today, the playacting and the complaining at the ref were simply disgraceful.
To be fair I get really annoyed with Özil, too as he developed into a diver and if the calls don't go his way he raises his arms and starts to complain, wtf is this shit?
Ye, the game was really annoying from both sides, i was just trying to say that both spain and portugal played on the same dirty level. I was kind of amazed how well refs did in this match, because both teams pressured him a lot And about ozil, it feels like that is what football is becoming and to be fair, he's still way below some southern stars ^_^

The FT was quite different, Portugal pressed Spain hard and basically disabled Spains midfield, which you very seldom see. Spain looked even angry and clueless what to do at some times ( They even tried several high balls in the box, whaaat).. but formidable as they were Portugal could hardly create any chances as Spain control of space seemed as invincible in defense as it always does. In overtime Portugal were just to exhausted to press anymore, thats why spain got the space/chances they got then. Has nothing to do with "Spain turning on the heat" or such BS.
making the other team tired with many passing or a strong defense is part of the strat
blame the portuguese coach
I understand that and i salute Spains strength, but it's not very heroic while fighting as hard as Portugal did kinda is. No question that Spain is the superior team, but to play like that doesn't make them likeable ( allthough i personally like their players mostly).

however, Ronaldo is the biggest diver ever existed
I know all the cool kids are hating on Ronaldo, but you can't actually be serious.
im serious and almost everyone will agree with me
u can say Busquets is a stupid diver and we will accept that, so what? just accept the truth
It's rare to see Ronaldo fall when it's not a foul, most times he was fouled or he just couldn't keep his balance (meaning it wasn't a foul but he fell regardless). And almost everyone will agree with you because almost everyone isn't able to watch Ronaldo without throwing baseless remarks like that. Busquets for example is five times the diver Ronaldo is and no one seems to care. I can understand, Busquets is five times less the player Ronaldo is, but that doesn't mean Ronaldo is the biggest diver because he's the player that attracts the most attention.

Only Ronaldo haters (and there is many) will blindly agree with that. Busquets, Pedro (and people from unrelated nations in this discussion - like Robben) are FAR worse divers than Ronaldo.
I can't believe some of the comments I've been reading. Obviously, it wasn't Spain's best match, and Portugal did an awesome job pressuring us. The first half was mainly theirs, but even so, Portugal didn't shoot on goal a single time! Since the second half Spain had this match much more dominated, and the OT was just wonderful play by Spain (due to all that initial nice pressure Portugal applied). Anyway, Spain deserved more the win, even if just by a little!

This is very accurate. I was amazed how well the Portuguese kept up the pressing for 90 minutes. Most teams barely last a half. And Spain were definately out of ideas. Usually its like 20 mins where they look a bit foxed and then teams tire out and get jaded and Spain seems to become invincible again. Not the case today. Still the better team by a margin and Portugal did what they had to do. And quoting Shearer.
"If you'd given Portugal a shootout before the game they'd have taken it." I dont know about that but by the end they were certainly up for it.
It still boggles me that people dont realise it takes 2 teams to play a match.
I always have wanted to see the keeper call a penalty taker's bluff on those chips and just stand still in middle and casually catch it. Would be pretty funny.

Like that?
It actually would have gotten the portugal keeper 2 saves instead of only 1. (If he didn't predict at all and only reacted)
