Pepe swivelled round too much for my liking - making a meal of things.

Mixamatosis, commentators here said a similar thing!

Pepe certainly exaggerated, as he usually does.

Shot from Iniesta. How did he miss?

That was so close!

My impression is that the Portuguese team is younger than the Spanish team - so youth versus experience.

Lpez. Is English your second language? It's really excellent.

It is, and thank you!

It's a goal! Stunning mistake by David De Gea or the state of the pitch? Goal by Cristiano Ronaldo.

Portugal 2-1 Spain

The first half is over. Good match so far!

Portugal 2-1 Spain

Who will win it? Spain has not won in a World Cup when wearing a white jersey since 1994!

Half time. Very entertaining match. Best of the competition so far. Are you supporting Spain or Portugal Lpez or are you neutral like me?

Reply #53. Jun 15 18, 12:48 PM

Definitely the best so far, likely one of the best in the whole group stage. I'm neutral also!

In 1994, Spain defeated Bolivia 3-1 while wearing a white jersey. Since then, among other instances, they were kicked out by Italy in 1994, lost to Nigeria in 1998, and again, kicked out by Italy from the Euro 2016. Coincidence? Or is that white jersey bad luck?!

Could be. I had thought Spain would win the World Cup, but I'm not so sure now. I've been using half-time to eat dinner.

At 54', Costa scores! Amazing!

Portugal 2-2 Spain

Hope dinner was good!

Oh dear lord what a goal! Nacho scores the best goal of the World Cup so far, IMO.

Portugal 2-3 Spain

Reminds me of the painful elimination of Mexico in 2006, when Argentine Maxi Rodriguez scored a similar one!

Spain are now playing at their best. Great play, great goals and all of them created through play, not through penalties or set pieces.

Yes dinner was excellent. My husband cooked it. He's a good cook. Spicy chicken and vegetables with rice. (He's not interested in football, so doesn't feel he's missing anything).
