98708, Portugal have actually defended really well Posted by magilla vanilla, Wed Jun-27-12 03:32 PM
that's what's going on; they're choking off Spain's passing really effectively, and so the initial tactic of using Negredo to try and catch Portugal when they attempt to break has been negated, and thus Del Bosque goes back to the "art project," but Portugal have defended quite well in midfield as well as along the back.
IDK, I think this is a pretty fascinating little chess match.
