Last night I tried to watch the Spain vs Portugal Semi-finals. It was really exciting despite being 0-0 for the entire game. The pace was so much faster than the boring game versus France. I guess both sides were pressuring the ball more, unlike how France just allowed Spain to keep on passing the ball ’round and ’round (boooooring!). Last nights game was so long that I passed out. They went on 30min overtime then finally to the super exciting penalties. (VIDEO of penalties after the jump!)
Watched this video below of the penalties again and again. That ‘Panenka’ penalty by Sergio Ramos was AMAZING. He definitely deserves the Man-of-the-Match award.

Spain won over Portugal with a 4-2 penalty shoot-out in the Euro 2012 Semi-finals. I wonder who they will be up against in the finals, Italy or Germany. Italy has never ever lost to Germany in a major finals. Will Germany finally break this record? What do you think? Who are you hoping to go into the finals against Spain? Let’s discuss!
