Are the World and European
Champions still strong enough to be champions?
Forces like Nani, C. Ronaldo, Coentrão
along with other formidable players are no joke as noted in the team’s recent
friendly and competition matches. Despite having lost the first match of the
tournament this squad managed to perform really well in the remaining matches,
with C. Ronaldo finding the back of the net three times in the last two. Apart
from just improving and playing better this also demonstrates the great mental
capacity of the team. Cristiano is still in search of his first strike against
the Spanish and with a place in Sunday’s Final up for grabs one definitely expects
the best.
On the other hand, the Spanish
team at times may have become quite predictable and its style of play finds it
slightly difficult to adapt & create goal scoring opportunities against
certain formations and disciplined teams. However the world & European
champions have not underperformed at any point
La Roja’s latest run has been a
solid one as much one would expect with nothing less than 9 wins, 2 draws and a
loss against England (friendly). This contrasts to the Portuguese squad earning
6 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses. In November 2010 friendly, a clash between these
two resulted in a 4-0 victory to Portugal with the home crowd rubbing its eyes
in disbelief

This clash should offer to be a
cracker as these two teams always offer pleasant football, Portugal in
particular. What are your thoughts? The odds at PokerVincente put Spain as favourites
but a 4.20 winning chance for Portugal isn’t at all far-fetched.
Try your luck
