I never questioned why PortugalGAF is so proud of their country. That doesn't need explaining. Everyone should be proud of their country playing in the Euro. I was more reffering to some of the over-confidence we've seen from PortugalGAF which is usually seen by fans of countries that have actually won something in the past. Portugal has mostly failed on the big stage so hence my question: why so confident/cocky?

Because we KNOW we can do it, we have the talent the will and the confidence that drives us into thinking that while not superior we can also win against anyone (no disrespect to other teams) if we can play the way we know how

[gutter_trash]

without Carlos Queiroz holding us down, we can do this!

Sorry my dear neighbours, you won't make it.

FFC Fry, FFC.

2 Red Cards (Pepe will get both) and at least 2 goals by Super Sayian Ronaldo. Seriously, this game is going to be epic!

[Tha Robbertster]

I got this weird feeling we'll get a Portugal-Italy final.

[Spanish Wrath]

There's only one thing I really couldn't stand to happen, and it's that Coentrao scores.

I love this gif.

[IceCold]

Guess I will have to support Portugal today, not much for it but oh well. I think the point is that Uruguay is the best national team in the world.

In terms of titles and per capita they are the most successful team. They have the most international titles in the world with a population of 3 million. Pretty impressive.

[Schweini]

'Calma calma, I fucking got this'

[The Anti-Monitor]

Can't side today with you Ronaldo, but I hope Pepe kicks Busquets a bit.

[DerZuhälter]

Lets hope we see this and not this:

[Noirulus]

Casillas's face gets a laugh out of me every time.

BFFs

So much brolove that it's going to hurt watching them go against each other :(

There's only one thing I really couldn't stand to happen, and it's that Coentrao scores.

Your Coentrao hate is still strong, eh? :P

[Spanish Wrath]

BFFs

Drunk Casillas during La Liga's celebration is best Casillas.

[Draconian]

I just hope Spain don't score an early goal and start the sleep inducing passing fest that they did against France. As much as I'd enjoy Portugal winning this, it's hard for me to envision them doing so.

[Letters]

Getting nervous, shouldn't have come into this thread, I was very calm before doing it.. :(

He won't even score. Have you ever seen him doing anything relevant besides Copa del Rey final against Barça?

What in the fuck? You even quoted THE gif!

[Spanish Wrath]

If we score in the first 20 minutes Portugal is fucked.

[santi_yo]

DAT ASS

[immortal-joe]

Casillas's face gets a laugh out of me every time.

Nah, Mou's face does it for me. It fits in waaaaaaaay too well.

[Noshino]

If we score in the first 20 minutes Portugal is fucked.

Just Portugal? I would say everyone... it would be the most boring game ever

[Hieberrr]

THIS BETTER GON' BE GUD!

[Phantast2k]

I just hope Spain don't score an early goal and start the sleep inducing passing fest that they did against France. As much as I'd enjoy Portugal winning this, it's hard for me to envision them doing so.

Why?
They have great players for counterattacks (CR, Nani) while Spanish CBs are rather slow, their wingers a top notch while Spain's got questionable wingbacks (Arbeloa) and they could always score a goal from corners thanks to Pepe's superior headers.

[Spanish Wrath]

There are 10 Real Madrid players in Semis.

Casillas, Arbeloa, Ramos, Albiol, Xabi Alonso, Pepe, Coentrao, Ronaldo, Khedira and Özil.

Wow.

[immortal-joe]

As far as predictions are concerned, this game will work exactly like Spain's game with France. Just cause Ronaldo is great does not mean he can do anything about five defenders / midfielders smothering him the second he gets the ball.

And like I said for the France game, if Spain scores early (like they did against France), this game is gonna be boring for the neutrals, and infuriating for Portugal fans.

IF Portugal somehow hold all the way until PKs, they will get slaughtered. They don't have nearly enough PK takers.

The only way this will get interesting is Portugal score first through a set piece, or a freak long distance shot, but Spain will only kick things up a notch and spend less time passing around the box.

Really, any way you slice it, Spain have this in the bag. The media is building Ronaldo hype just so they can act all surprised when they lose and go "OMG Ronaldo fucked up!"

This.

As a Real Madrid fan, I don't like that he got all responsabilty for losing as we did against Bacelona in December.

well, chances of portugal scoring with a set piece or a long distance ball aren't that bad since they got ronaldo. If spain spends less time passing around the box they will also give up more balls, wich gives portugal more counterattacks and portugal have good players for counterattacks.

If Portugal scores first i don't see how this is in the bag for Spain.

[Kurtofan]

Go Portugal!

[Jason Raize '75 - '04]

Spain 3-0. Penalty converted. Haven't been wrong yet

[immortal-joe]

This. As a Real Madrid fan, I don't like that he got all responsabilty for losing as we did against Bacelona in December.

When Spain wins, most writers will focus more on how Ronaldo has underperformed, and less on how good Spain was.

[RJT]

I'm glad everybody is focused on Ronaldo. Pepe and Bruno Alves are great on set pieces and Nani, Moutinho, Coentrão can all create chances. We're nowhere near a one man show (unlike, IMO, France).

[scorcho]

is it or me does this hand look freakishly tiny

it's a matter of evolution at work. generations of natural selection have produced two of the greatest footballing talents ever - one is tiny with a low center-of-gravity, the other a thick-necked god with crushing thighs and t-rex hands.

God works in mysterious ways.

[immortal-joe]

is it or me does this hand look freakishly tiny

It's the angle.

[RaGe_pt]

is it or me does this hand look freakishly tiny

She doesn't complain...

[Messi]

2-1 Spain goals from Ramos and Cesc, Ronaldo gets 1

I am sure Ramos will nick one, this is the kind of game I would have expected Puyol to get one of he was not hurt. Cesc I am not sure about. I'd die if Don Andres got one.

[Spanish Wrath]

I think it's a perfect match for Negredo or Llorente.

[xbhaskarx]

Breaking News: Real Madrid are rich as fuck

[Madridy]

There are 10 Real Madrid players in Semis. Casillas, Arbeloa, Ramos, Albiol, Xabi Alonso, Pepe, Coentrao, Ronaldo, Khedira and Özil. Wow.

Compared to:

Barca - 7 :
Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets, Pedro, Pique, Cesc, and Valdes

Juve - 7 :
Pirlo, Buffon, Chiellini, Marchisio, Giaccherini, Barzagli, and Bonucci

Bayern - 8 :
Neuer, Schweinsteiger, Müller, Badstuber, Lahm, Kroos, Boateng, and Gómez


Have I missed anyone?

[leroidys]

brilliant

[WJD]

He won't even score. Have you ever seen him doing anything relevant besides Copa del Rey final against Barça?

[Konosuke]

If Ronaldo scores a free kick, Portugal will win.

[Verano]

pepe needs to stop acting so damn nice and just let go already. kick some ass, dude. literally.

ref swarming from both barca and cunt-drid players...awww yeah..
