Come on, can you really compare the Korea-Spain match, with any match in which Spain has been treated by the referees favorably? Spain was robed two clear goals.

I still remember the De Jong kick to the torso of Xabi Alonso in the Worlds finals of 2010, or the several times Heitinga or Van Bommel should have been given a red card. Tell me again that Spain is favored in the important matches. I'm not talking about Barcelona, I'm talking of Spain NT.

Spain vs Croatia rings a bell? Two clear pens with one that should have been a direct red card to Ramos? 

That's probably the most recent case.

Not 100% comparable, those penalties are of those that most of the time aren't awarded, but I agree that Croatia should have tied that game, which would have eliminated Italy, or even won, with Spain out of the tournament.

Portugal has a good team, but your bitching about the referees isn't going to make them win. Don't cross a bridge till you come to it.
