Sounds like most are wanting a good game but still hoping for a Spain vs Germany final. I think Portugal vs Germany would be a great game as well. I still say Portugal wins it all, CR will abuse both outside backs for spain all game, hopefully Nani wakes up!

Both semis will be on the tv in our conf. room at work, can't wait!

This is a tough match for me to figure out.

Spain does have the capability to win (perhaps by 2 goals if they decide to play a striker), but if Portugal can score early, it may throw off Spain enough to get the result.

I think this game is Spains to lose, but Paulo Bento has this team exactly where they need to be. For the first time since 2006 it feels like they are all on the same page. Been really suprised with the play of Pepe and Bruno Alves too, I was expecting both of them to get a red/give up a pk and instead they both have been rocks in the back. I think they ditched the park the bus mentality after the Germany game, and the fact that it did not work against Spain at all in the 2010 World Cup quarters.

I feel good about today, if they don't pull it off I do think they will have gained a ton of respect from the way they will play. The last 3 games they have played some of the most entertaining and effective soccer in the tournament.

Portugal goes through on a goal in the 2nd half of extra time from Nani

Is there such a thing as a Hispanic last name that doesn't end in a vowel or S?

I'm thinking Portugal with the upset. Depending on how well the ref calls out Pepe on his bullshite of course.
