If so, i like it.

I would have went Joao Mario over Moutinho.. but i can live with this..

Likely a 4-4-2?

-------------Rui
-Cedric-Pepe-Fonte-Rapa
-Silva-Moutinho-William-Fernandes
----Guedes--CR7

 

I can picture Spain starting off dominating the game aggressively the first 15 minutes or so, and then Portugal balancing it out. From then, anything can happen.

 

Ole Ole Spain! Here we go, the match I have been waiting for.

 

well, I predicted each of the 3 games so far at this WC and only got Uruguay - Egypt right, but... what the hell! Predicting is fun so I'm gonna go with a 2-1 win for Spain

 

Yup!

 

Portugal is here to lose. I salute your effort but chance only helps you once.

 

Clash of titans...First real game of WC...

 

Spain comes here to win the whole thing...Portugal comes here to prove the Euro Champs trophy is not a fluke

 

I can feel excitment in the air already...

 

Pens....

 

CR7 scores...No chance for goal keeper

 

Ronaldo is celebrating as if he won the WC. Spain will be back.

 

OMG

 

The game is still long

 

People that underrated Portugal might have a wake up call tonight.

 

Ronaldo is such a good villain, tbh

 

Yessssss..
Well deserved penalty!!!!
The king scores

 

Spain with a very good chance... over the bar

 

And Penaldo does it again with a disgraceful refereeing. That was not a penalty. I hope this fires up some heat under the Spanish asses and come up crushing strong. The game is on. Ole Ole Spain.
