Haha didn't even know that such a pic exists. Thanks for mentioning it, Google already helped me out :P

My personal favourite of this Euro .

Here is mine:

Anime caption is from Captain Tsubasa, really popular during the 80's.

Ohh my god I loved that cartoon when I was a kid.

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. 

1 HOUR! CANT CONTROLL MYSELF!

I just love when people try to "unicorn" their analysis like they know more than actual football analysts so that they can be unique. Even being Portuguese, I think that the biggest chances are on Spain's side. Having said that, of course I hope that Portugal wins. Not only will a Portugal victory make an entire country extremely happy, as from what I've read on this thread so far, it will also make some people extremely unhappy too . For those that say that Spain will beat us easily, I just ask you a simple question: Do you even recall the last time that Spain beat Portugal "simply"?. World Cup 2010 They beat us 1 - 0, with a goal that was borderline in the offside position (when viewed in the posterior replays), and had only other clear goal opportunity in the entire game, while we had a handful of missed chances on the first half (where we ended with an almost similar possession to Spain). I don't think you understand the meaning of Winning Simply. Spain dominated the match with almost 65% ball possession 62%. And that came mostly from the second half, where we completely disappeared.  And if you understand anything regarding football, you'd know that Spain does that possession against every opponent. That's their playstyle and no one is going to beat them at that style. I'd rather have 40% of possession and create the most dangerous opportunities than having >60% possession when that possession is made mostly on your midfield.  Your assessment of what is "winning simply" or "dominating" is a football immature one. So in your view, every team that plays Barça is completely dominated by them, even if Barça loses?. What about analyzing the meaning behind that possession. I'd rather have 60% of ball possession and WIN the match while at it :D   That's a simple win So imagine that you have that possession, you have 0 chances at goal and you win the game at the penalty shootouts. That's still a simple win to you?

No, a simple win is what i described in previous 2 post

Over 60% ball possession and regular time win

You still have no idea what a worthwhile ball possession is. But whatever, at this time I just don't care to argue with you anymore. 

Prepping myself for the game .

Big brother vs lil brother. I expect repeat of WC 2010.

Extreme defense by Portugal and Spain wins in regular time.
