Spain missed Villa terribly. Two years ago he was the only reason (that and R Costa at RB :( ) that Spain got past Portugal in the WC.

This one was definitely coin-toss level. Not happy going out, but I'm happy with the overall team performance in this tournament. They belonged in the semis.

Portuguese deserved to go through. Once again, boring football has been rewarded. After watching the Netherland of the late 80s, Germany of early 90s, Brazil of mid 90s and etc, this Spanish team is the most boring dominant team. Their style is like playing Fifa with the X button missing. They needed a centre forward badly, Llorente would have been ideal.

Spain can't win this shit playing like this., they can't dammit! If Italy loses tomorrow I hope Germany wins it. Portugal can go out with their heads held high.

One way to eliminate Spain's silly tiki taka style is to have their games reffed by a ref with big balls that would allow the play go and don't give those silly little fouls that they usually get.

Funny thing is that many Spanish bandwagon hoppers are blaming the Portuguese for that boring game. Portugal are too dependent on Ronaldo :howler:
so is barca with messi, italy with pirlo, germany with ozil..so what? you have to do your job if you're a star player not choke (ronaldo's last minute opportunity)

Portugal didn't really dominate the game, neither team can say they deserve to go to the final based on this game alone.
It was evenly contested and Spain had the better chances. No winning team will want to abandon their winning tactic so I dun't see why Spain should change now.

They are saying Portugal is boring because they are dependent on Ronaldo, ignoring the fact because of that silly Spanish tactics. I don't find a problem that they are dependent on Ronaldo, he is one of the best of the world. The Portuguese did their best, and they are a bit unlucky to get knocked out.
