What the hell were portugal doing with nani and alves there?? its the reason they lost the shootout!!!
 
And Ronaldo gets what he deserves. Looks like he was trying to be the glory-man by going last, and it backfired in his face. Bruno Alves definitely did not look comfortable taking that penalty either.

Portugal should have converted at least one of their many chances in normal time, easily the better team during that time (apart from the diving), instead they kept fluffing it up and paid the price. But again, there is only one winner out of this, the winner of the other semi-final, and guess who that is likely to be?
 
I gotta admit, as a Canadian who knows next to nothing about football/soccer, Famine's right. It's hard to watch a team flopping around like the Portuguese team was. Especially when Ronaldo's (correct me if I'm wrong), considered one of the best players in the world; it just looks really bad.

It doesn't ruin the sport for me though, I've really enjoyed a lot of the other games thus far, and my brother who plays soccer is helping me understand the strategy and the little nuances of the game. I just hate watching diving happening so much, no matter the sport (it's starting to get pretty bad in hockey too).
 
I'm glad Spain went through, I reeaaalllyyyyy didn't want Portugal to go through because of this guy:

Plus a Spain vs Germany final would be epic!!
 
You guys are almost funny when ranting about Portugal. The truth is people only see what they want to see. Did you even saw the same game that i did? Spain players dont dive and didnt dive in this game huh?! Well, lets watch some real proof shall we?!



This one is about the 2010 World Cup. Watch this and please take a few seconds to pause and read at 1:08 min.

 
Still dislike Portugal and Italy... they made me dislike watching Soccer entirely.

I only caught glimpse of the 3rd round of the penalty shots, had to leave for work so I missed the ending. Glad Spain is moving on.
 
If you people keep loving Spain like that after watching the games on live TV and even after watching real video proof of the cheaters they are, i say stop watching football all togheter. Spain plays like that all the time and you just need to see Barcelona/ Messi play and its the same desgrace to football all over again.











and of course the one and only Messi:
