    Portugal Spain Thoughts & Picks

    Been waiting for this game all fukking week and its finally here Now its time to enjoy a great game and make some money off it. My first instincts were to take Portugal to advance +182 but i'm starting to rethink that. I'm now leaning Spain hard. Whats your thoughts boys!!

    I think we should put the handicap on Portugal for the 90 mins, I'm looking at Portugal up to +336 at BetFair right now. My initial prediction is 1-1 and it goes to extra time/PKs.

    I like Portugal pk +.5. Think a tie is very likely, either team can score when down. Still undecided, very tough match to pick. May not make any bets tomorrow.

    Hmm i'm still leaning Spain. I don't like Portugal in this spot. Winner of this has a good chance at walking through the next 2 games on road to the finals. Spain ML would be my play right now.

    You are thinking with hate right now. We both dont want to hear the horns or have the headaches but you know the right play.

    Numerous shutouts in Portugals last few international games.

    Spain has the size to block corners, and I think their defenders are their best players.

    Ronaldo has proven to be a better club player, than national team player.

    I expect for both teams to respect each other, and not take too many chances. Conservative game with less shots on goal than the experts will say.

    My play UNDER UNDER UNDER.

    This is very hard bet. Can't really think which side is better and win the game. I am leaning towards to Portugal +1/2 since my book doesn't offer Spain +1/2. Believe the game ended with either 1:1 or 2:1.

    I took Portugal +1...like many I see a draw. But either way low scoring....definitely don't see either team scoring 2 or more.

    Your so right, thats the problem If you would of told me before the WC started Portugal would knock out Spain i'd laugh. I can't see Portugal knocking out a better team then them. I'm think i'm going to back Spain tomorrow and if they fukk me then it will be a double loss of Portugal winning and me losing my bet.

    Spain is clearly the better side, but the value just isn't there. If I had to pick I would go with spain on the ML. No bet for me.

    So many people have this going to extra time or ending a draw. That alone now makes me think one of these squads will win it in regulation + injury time. It's hard not to like Spain to be that team because Portugal simply has not proven it can score against quality opposition. Spain still could be finishing better, but they've at least seemingly got a rhythm going offensively. I'm going to watch the line movement here for a bit longer.

    Portugal has yet to give up a goal and to score a goal on a half decent team. I mean they've only played 3 games and finished the group +7 GD but i'm definitely not letting that make me lean Portugal. This team can defend great but have trouble scoring even with that queer Ronaldo. I'm still leaning Spain ML someone talk me out of it

    i had holland,argentina,uruguay,brazil and spain in a parlay, all 4 won, just need spain to come through, imo, they are getting their confidence back, torres has had a 2-3 day break, time for him to come out, david villa will also be ready to score, remember, portugal draw'd a no kaka brazil team, also portugal hardly made it through the qualifying, head to head record is 15 wins for spain and 5 for portugal, i took spain to qualify, hope it hits, gl to all

    You might want to hedge that parlay you got going there. This game looks like a toss up with people on both sides. I think your on the right side with your Spain pick but others would disagree. GL

    Portugal struggled against Ivory Coast and had a tough time getting anything going against Brazil. Theres value still in Spain @ Even imo.

    i like Spain but they struggled against a good defensive team , they lost to swiss 0-1 , not so impressive over chile , first goal they scored was pure luck

    The loss to the Swiss was a fluke. 9 times out 10 Spain would of escaped that game with atleast a single point. That was simply the Spanish starting off slow. The Swiss are no where to be seen now, couldn't even beat Honduras.

    Spain ML +106 (90 mins)
    Spin ML 1H +188 (45 mins)
    Japan +0.5 -116
    Over 2 Japan/Paraguay -116

    Might just play Spain ML 1H and see how the games going and make a 2H play or Live bet.
