The 2012 Euro Cup is down to the final four teams. In the first semi-final match Spain will face Portugal in what is sure to be a classic. Spain has been on a roll, and after beating long time rival France 2-0, they know with one more win they will be playing in the Championship game.
One of the big questions for this huge game is can Ronaldo come up big for Portugal? Ronaldo has been great in the tourney so far. He was the difference maker when he netted two goals vs. the Dutch, and he scored the winning goal in the quarter-final against the Czech Republic.
He is definitely living up to his hype in this year's Euro Cup.
"He's a very complete player," said team-mate João Moutinho. "I don't think I could highlight any weak points. He's great with his head, his feet, and he's very fast." Ronaldo's partnership on the left with Real Madrid CF colleague Fábio Coentrão has been hugely important for Portugal.But will he be enough to help defeat a red-hot Spain squad, and goalkeeper Iker Casillas?
The Las Vegas odds on this game has Spain -125, with the comeback on Portugal at +320; the Over/Under number is 2.
You always have to wonder about a soccer game that has a number of two. Sure, these guys will play tight defense, after all there is a lot on the line,but they should get two or more goals between them.
