I think Portugal can beat Spain if they continue there current form. I have a feeling they are going to choke though. I don't really care who wins I just hope it's an exciting game.

That's my biggest fear to be honest. They have the quality to win, but I still have some reserves that they'll keep the mental fortitude, especially if things go sour fast during the game.

I don't know if we can pull another Holland against Spain.

you never know xavi and iniesta might get injured,do they actually ever not play,its amazing

obviously you need ronnie to score and perform which spain will probably try and target

There's a lot of players from both sides that perform quite exceptionally when it comes to not getting injuries. Moutinho on Portugal's side has never gotten an injury since he was 20 (5 years in a row now) and he has played constantly. Might be physical preparation, predisposition or overall stamina, but some players are really hardy. 

I don't think (or at least hope) that we will desperately need Ronaldo to score to win the game, we have shown that already in this Euro. Though if he continues his rising form on this Euro, he's the biggest "threat" to the Spanish nets.
