I have a feeling that maybe he is superstitious, there's just too much effort, the shorts thing, the breathing in and out, the stance...

nah, it's for dramatic effect...he wasn't doing that before. It's a recent thing.

Spain to join Portugal and Argentina in tomorrow's match?

Hopefully it will be the underdogs year!
Both snuck out the group stages and weren't really contenders having watched all their matches. Argentina certainly weren't contenders. The true contenders left are Spain, France, Brazil with possibly England and Belgium if they have a strong showing in their knock out games. Croatia I'm on the fence about, they've looked impressive so far but their credentials will be tested against Denmark.

Don't think we'll see an underdog win the world cup, Uruguay perhaps have a chance along with England but we'll have a side in the top 10 lift the trophy imo.

Hoping Russia scores soon to liven things up. Watching this sideways and backwards passing from Spain for 90 minutes is not fun.

Replay shows the YELLOW and penalty appear to be a fair call.

You got your wish :)

1-1

...and it's set for an electric second half.

Spain offering nothing in the final 3rd. Very little creativity. Rather dull tbh, Russian bus very effective

I hate games being decided by penalties, golden goal seems a better option.
