Figures my new house walk-through is scheduled for 1pm today.

I hope Spain wins in a bore-fest.

Haha, the only highlights they can show of Portugal are against Korea because they've sucked hard every other game.

"Portugal havent conceded a goal in this tournament!"

They also havent scored against any other team than Korea. I think you have to look at a toothless Ivory Coast and a disinterested Brazil rather than a 'good' Portugal.

Nothing out of this world, like mine will probably be a Portugal flag and a Ronaldo pic or something.

Deal??

you know you have to stick Locke with a shirtless Ronaldo picture complete with protruding adams apple. Locke should stick you with the booger eating snapshot.

Spain are just taking it to Portugal. 3 clutch saves already from Eduardo.

Refs left off the Final List:

Uruguay's Jorge Larrionda and Italy's Roberto Rosetti, whose blunders have prompted FIFA to rethink using video technology, have been left off the list of referees for the rest of the World Cup.

Two more left out were Koman Coulibaly of Mali, who disallowed a third United States goal in a 2-2 draw with Slovenia, and French ref Stephane Lannoy, who harshly sent off Brazil's Kaka.

Alright, a Ref who doesnt tolerate diving and John Helm, all I need is a beer and this would be perfect.

[PIMking]

I don't really care who wins this game. But I just want a good game to watch.

[bluejays]

I'm really liking this ref. Doesn't stand for the wuss factor from Portugal along with Ronaldo's whining. Makes for a nice paced game.

[SuperMatt18]

Portugal has been the better team in the second half of the first 45, and have had the better chances.

Torres has been useless in this tourney.

[d_phaneuf]

ya Torres is still injured I have no doubt, he has no burst at all

I would take him off for Cesc and but Villa up top with Cesc on the left

[GirlySports]

Spain passing too much in the middle, needs to play wider.

I agree with that, but Spain seem really reluctant to play Cesc, Xavi, and Iniesta all at the same time.

Cesc seems like the player who could open up the D with his runs right now.

On a different note, I have really like the reffing this game and this ref should be one of the favorites for the final.

That would be like playing Gerrard, Lampard and Barry at the same time

Villa!

[GirlySports]

Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooll D'Espana!

[Locke]

Villa! 1-0 Spain.

[nik-]

Villa is the man!

[rubecube]

Pretty sure that was offside.

[bluejays]

Hopefully Spain can hold onto this lead. Can't stand Portugal's squirming.
