Spain dominating possession but can't get through.
If only they had a player on the bench that could unlock defences....

Exactly, or maybe win a free kick, bend it in, before scoring a second goal on the counter attack.

Messi plays for Argentina

I was just thinking that Cesc is the only Spanish midfielder that is comfortable enough on the ball to try and dribble past players, the rest try to pass their way around the midfield.

Spain right back in it with a good 6-4 dive lead, Portugal are going to have to get the ball to Nancy a bit more to even it up.

You mean remotely close to Nancy?

Anywhere in the same half is good.

Fair play to the ref he is having none of the play acting, there hasn't been as much as I was expecting.

Cesc coming on for Torres.

EDIT: No its not.

Torres off for Llorente.

1-0

1-0 Spain in goal terms, 7-5 in diving.

1-0 Spain. No surprises who got it.

Lovely assist from Xavi, they're passing it around beautifully now.

lovely goal

Well, with Spain having the lead in the goal stakes, surely we can expect the game we first suspected with some serious theatrics to come from Portugal.

Bloody cable has just gone. W****rs.
