Match 56 (R16) - Spain v Portugal - PBP Thread [R]

Puyol is acting like a little girl this match. That's his 2nd obvious dive/crying.

 

Spain really at crossed purposes at the start of the 2nd. Very odd....

 

Puyol worst dive of the game?

 

This ref has done an excellent job of not biting on the dives.Nice job thus far.

 

Why the hell was Casillas hesitating there..

 

Great run there.

 

Yeah... was wondering about Pedro as well.

OY!! Casillas is a lucky, lucky lad as a bouncer just misses the post.

 

he was covering ronaldo

 

Good God come on Ramos please just get the ball in the box. Spain playing at way too pedestrian of pace.

 

Martin Tyler bad mouths that shot by Iniesta as "not carrying much conviction" --- yet to my eyes he was picking out the far top corner with Eduardo well off to the near post.

Much like his earlier goal that he basically passed into the net.

 

Much dirtier game in this half

 

Must be like the third time spain has made a decent pass into the box and no one is home. Wonder if the Spanairds are tired already.

 

fyp.

 

Great pass from Ronaldo

 

Torres has had a few solid plays, but for the most part he looks like he took a big bribe from Portugal supporters.

 

Llorente will come in.

Ref needs to start handing out cards if he isn't going to call some of these fouls...I mean the majority of time its one or the other, not incidental contact.

 

This match is at a far higher level than the earlier one... as far as diving goes.
