[Football] WC: Portugal v Spain

[Durlston]

What a howler by De Gea for Ronaldo's second goal.

If a shithouse Estonian goalkeeper had let it in for a crucial cup-losing team we'd be hearing about it for weeks. It was amateurish.

Without reading 22 pages, that first goal was a blatent dive for the penalty right?

He dived. He was always going down. But looking at it again, Nacho gave him just enough leg to make it look convincing.
Similar to the penalty Micheal Owen won against Argentina in 2002.

I would just like to add that I thought Spain's long distance passing often from touch line to touch line was fantastic.
Time and time again it was direct to the players feet, not bad for one of the teams known for short passing, possession football.

I had a holiday in Madeira a few years back, where Ronaldo was born, the locals love him and said that he had pumped a lot of his own money in to youth football on the island plus many other charitable causes there. He does sometimes let himself down on the pitch however.

Nice touch. Saw similar with Juan Mata at a United game. Little things like that for youngsters stay with them for life. Nice to see positive things from footballers, despite the fact that 50% if a crowd will call them ****s all match.
