Cesc denied Ronaldo his penalty kick.

Re: Spain - Portugal (4.00 / 2)

Well, what was Ronaldo doing waiting till the end for his penalty ? He should have been number 1, but I suspect he wanted to be the glory boy, scoring the penalty that took them into the final.

Instead he's the goat who didn't get to take his penalty.

Re: Spain - Portugal (none / 0)

Apparently Cecs wasn't feeling very good tonight so when they offered him to go second he asked to go last.

Ronaldo is no Pirlo?

The fourth Spanish penalty - a high volley to a top corner - looks like a pragmatic version of Panenko. And it was followed by a crossbar miss just as well ;-) The last two shots were decided by fractions.
