Spain/ Portugal o2 -110

[lunchbawks]

spain will run all over portugal, play the 2.5 still safe

spain 3
portugal 1

this may go over 4.. dont be cautious because of the pathetic italy game today

[nycyellow9]

spain take their time, and when they score they take their time some more WHILE intentionally time-wasting to waste more time.

over bets involving spain are the most you will ever sweat a bet, believe me on this...

[sneakerhead]

like germany over more

Saying O2.5 is safe and Spain will run all over port is just clueless. If Spain gets a lead, they will sit in midfield and passpasspass the clock out. They will hardly try at all to push the ball deep and get a chance. WC they were 1-0/0-0 all 4 knockout games. The hope for the over is that Portugal shreds them on the counter early then Spain needs to open up and force it in

In WC Quarters they couldn't get a goal on Paraguay until 83, Villa off a rebound. Spain is very often a joke getting quality shots if teams don't make mistakes like France did

Starting to think the game will be very even...maybe 1-1, over is not worth it

Spain is actually weak with scoring goals against good teams atm, you have to cross your fingers this will change then.

Im rolling with the over also. I hope Portugal wins tho. I see more of a 3-1 game here. If Spain has been having trouble with better teams i still see them scoring one. Portugal has been coming together the last few games. Well one did now they all are playing good. Hope we see a goal early and open the game up. 2o is money

"The team is focused on the importance of defending well," Piqué added. "We know that if we keep a clean sheet one goal is enough and with the control we have and the chances we create, that goal always arrives."

Imo, will need Portugal to score at least 1 goal if this is to go over 2 goals.

Probably be similar to their World Cup meeting in 2010, save for Spain not having as good a finisher as David Villa. 1-0 Spain won that one. Tough betting match. One of the props I like but it's not offered by a lot of books is the time of the 1st goal scored. Bovada offers it Under 27 minutes, After 27 and No goal scored. 5Dimes you have to pick specific times or take ridiculous chalk on a goal not scored in a specific span. I like 1st Goal after 27th minute. Spain will dominate possession as usual and I think Portugal will go into this about how they approached the Germany match. Defend first and look to exploit when they get possession. 1st half draw not a bad option perhaps.

have you guys watched spain play when they go down a goal? they are the best offensive team in the world

[hotelis]

<br>torres&ronaldo...over 2.5 shouldnt be a problem.

Maybe if they played 10 games.

Soccer is gay. I've never understood the appeal of such a boring and pussy "sport".

SO you are posting in a gay internet thread! HOMO!

[RichieRacks]

No really, what's so exciting about watching these homos kick a ball around for 90+ mins and flopping every minute like little bitches?



No wonder no one in North America likes this sh*tty and sorry excuse for a "sport".
