It's going to be a hell of a game, but I think Spain will be able to handle Cristiano Ronaldo. Defenders know him too damn well and have the skills to annoy the fuck out of him, so expect many pouts.
If Portugal wants to win this they will have to find a way to do so without Ronaldo.
I'm especially happy that players from my 2 spanish clubs have been doing well. David Villa (he's always a valencian to me, even if he's gone to barca now) and Fernando Llorente & Javi Martinez who have made Athletic Club a good team again. Viva Espana. After the wonderful welcomes I always get when on vacation there, it's only right I support them, and what a team they have.

Only thing I know is that Del Bosque keeps acting like a complete idiot sending him in from the start when he has quality forwards like Llorente and Pedro on the bench. Torres is obviously not 100% and insisting on starting him is only detrimental to the team and to his own psyche.

Pedro is on fire!! but Torres will continue playing from the start.
