1.) So did Torres hit on Del Bosque's wife or something? How was he
not brought in as a sub with Spain showing no offensive spark until OT? Such a talent and having proved he could score multiple goes in the qualifying....drives me crazy 2.)Is there any strategy whatsoever to having Ronaldo go last in the PK lineup? To have 2 different Portugal defensive backs shoot before CR7 just doesn't make any sense. Did he demand to go 5th so he get the limelight if they did make it to him? |

If it's Germany, it's going to be fun ... -- blah Wed Jun 27 2012 11:02:03 PM |

My guess is that it'll be Germany, -- Pogue Mahone Thu Jun 28 2012 10:05:17 AM |

I think Portugal gave the blue print to beat Spain. -- blah Thu Jun 28 2012 11:16:34 AM |

...which is why rule changes to force teams to attack versus playing back would- -- Trigon Sun Jul 1 2012 9:01:14 AM |

You're assuming the talent level on teams is relatively equal. -- Pogue Mahone Sun Jul 1 2012 9:13:54 AM |

Doesn't look like ... -- Trigon Sun Jul 1 2012 5:56:11 PM |

My mistake. It was the 2010 World Cup. -- Pogue Mahone Sun Jul 1 2012 6:02:06 PM |

I'm sure it was an exciting game - especially if you weren't rooting for Spain- -- Trigon Sun Jul 1 2012 6:10:44 PM |

Agree. Portuguese defense didn't get enough credit ** -- W-burg Wahoo Thu Jun 28 2012 5:32:55 PM |

2) CR7 was chomping at the bit to kick the 3rd PK, so it wasn't his decision ** -- gldwrth Wed Jun 27 2012 7:28:40 PM |

It was the player who took the 4th PK who accidentally went up to take the 3rd -- Hoo in W. Africa Thu Jun 28 2012 1:51:40 PM |

Ronaldo actually played well ... -- blah Wed Jun 27 2012 7:42:10 PM |
