PBP: WC2018 Match 3 Portugal-Spain 15 June

Iniesta por Dios!!

 

They are doing great pressing up front and with Costa's goal and those two close chances they have their confidence back and it shows

 

It would be nice to bag a goal late in the half and head into the locker room up by a goal. Vamos!!

 

Good move by Isco

 

Did De Gea pull a Zubi??

 

Not as bad as Zubi's but you don't expect that from your number one keeper!

 

63% possession and for a stupid challenge in the box and a keeper error two very soft goals. This sort of reminds me of the 2010 opener against the Swiss, one bad mistake and 0-1 result with 70% possession.

 

Bottom line is that current scoreline is not indicative on what occurred on the pitch. They need to come out strong in the second half, get the early goal and keep the pressure on and get the third goal without giving the Portuguese easy counters! I guess the next 45 minutes will tell! Aupa Espanha y La Furia Roja!!

 

Second half on!!

 

Marca's reference to De Geas fallo garrafal!!

 

COSTA COSTA COSTA

 

Game on!!

 

That looked like a set play which had been worked on in practice for awhile!

 

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
