Will be interesting to see Costa's WC campaign with Spain. Good starting XI btw, class everywhere on the pitch.

Santos will park the bus. Well, Portugal can't qualify out of the group with 3 draws this time though.

I've decided I want Ronaldo to hammer Spain and really kill it this world cup. Let's go Ronaldo

Why are Spain not starting the 3rd best midfielder in the world? Team looks stale.

That Spain teams front line seems very underwhelming.

The Portugal team is all over bang average.

I'm going for 3-2 Spain.

This game is basically who plays France in the quarters or probably Argentina in the quarters. Loser is with France and then possibly Brazil in semis, winner with Argentina then possibly Germany. Definitely enough incentive to go for the win IMO.

Spain are to defensive for me. This is going to be a pretty boring contest, I guess. Don’t think Portugal will see a lot of the ball.

Also hope de gea kills it. He needs a big performance for Spain, always seems on edge for them.

Like the look of this Portugal side. Reckon they might cause Spain some problems.
