Darke is an idiot. He wants a yellow on Ramos on something that wasn't even a foul. It was clearly a flop from the replay.

What I don't understand is why the hell Nani thought it was a good idea to flop there..

Alves knocking Negredo around in the area. Let's see if he's got balls. If not, Vicente, get his arse out of there.

Portugal look really good this half, they are very threatening and have good amounts of possession around Spain's box.

they are completely lacking in the final ball department though, their crosses and through balls absolutely suck right now.

Nice to see a team defending Spain how you have to, you cant give them a second...its also how Barcelona defend which is a very underrated part of their game.

This is their toughest matchup by far, Portugal has no intentions of hanging back and letting them tiki taka.

Spain seems to be showing some nerves too, some very errant passes for them.

I am loving seeing how quick Portugal are to press forward on the Spanish players on 50/50 balls and when the Spanish defense has the ball at their feet.

That's what you have to do.. you can't just retreat and let them keep the ball.

About what? The ref was completely wrong, he fricked up a major advantage call. Which is something incredibly easy to call. You allow play to continue till the offensive player loses the ball. Simple
