YELLOW CARD: Untrustworthy
I've missed most of the game, but it seems I have arrived to watch the most interesting part of the game. Penalties!

Awful penalties by Portugal. Alves (sadly) and Ronaldo were the only ones well taken. Every Spanish penalty was done well except MAYBE Iniesta's, but at least he ran up straight and didn't stutter.
EDIT: Wait, Ronaldo chose to kick second!?!? What a ******* RETARD!

Me too, I was trying to predict before each one who would score and who would miss and when he stepped up the first time I expected him to miss and thought Portugal had dodged a bullet changing him....... when he came forward a second time...... well......4ndr3i;3262213 said:
But what was Ronaldo thinking? Do you think he just thought the 5th pen would be the winner and fancied the glory and the headlines? As good an idea as it sounds, you NEVER put your best penalty taker last, especially when you are kicking second.......

I really enjoyed it..... alright, the second half was a bit slow but I thought the first half was such a beautiful tactical clash, almost like a chess match, and I loved watching Spain gradually go up through the gears in extra time.......Xifio;3262217 said:
Awful game for 90mins. I guess the Alves-Nani switch was deliberately done to throw Casillas?
Great penalty by Fabregas in the end, he put enough spin on it and the ball bounced inside after hitting the post.
Ronaldo=Robben? Both wussed out on PK shootouts. As captain and a renowned penalty taker at club level, he should be the first to step up.

Grainy connection, was probably Pepe, maybe Nani. Don't remember now.

Thought the same too.
Didn't find the game to be boring at all. I felt the match was pretty intriguing for a goalless draw. Portugal should be proud of their performance. Gave the reigning World and European champions a fair rain for their money. And, after all that criticism about him skying that penalty, Ramos still had the guts to hit a Panenka! Respect.

Really awful. These guys deal with pressure their entire lives. It starts with trials when they're like 10 years old that can make or break their career before it starts, and goes from there. It's unfathomable that pressure can get to them, and yet here we are and it still seems like it does.
And did he really choose to shoot second? That's absolutely moronic.

For all the talk about Spain's great passing and goal scoring abilities, it is the defense which is stealing the show this tournament, one goal conceded in five and superb penalties from Pique and Ramos!
