Portugal defeated Serbia 5-1 to move on to the Semi Finals. Last 15 seconds were nice as the Portuguese and Serbians put up their hands then shook hands while the clock counted down as the game was out of reach so they spent the last few seconds showing each other respect instead of each trying for another goal. Class. Portugal play Azerbaijan in the Semi's the other Semi consists of Favorites Spain vs the Czech Republic.
Apparently. We shouldn't even still be in the competiton after how hardcore owned we were by the Spanish...

This will be our first Euro Futsal Final. In 2007 Spain beat us on penalties in the Semi finals at home in Porto, before going on to win their 4th title. There have been 6 previous Futsal Euro's so to say Spain is the favourites is an understatement.
Spain with another route this time the Czechs on the receiving end All Iberian Final. Portugal vs Spain Saturday January 30th. Spain is on another level from everyone else in Europe. Only Brazil can compete with them internationally. So the game is pretty much theirs to lose. Second place is nothing to snub at considering our oppositions strength.
5-1 WOW Talk about retuning from the dead I’m here laughing as I remember the English commentator on Euro Sport saying that Portugal does not have cats chance in hell of reaching the final after the Spain defeat
goal Spain 3-0, its pratically over. Edit: Portugal just scored, 3-1 with 2 minutes left. Edit:GOOOOL!!!!! 3-2, minute and a half left.
Well we made it respectable but Spain was the clear favorite and have been "The Team" in Euro Futsal much like Brazil is to beach soccer.
