Semi Finals – Day One – Dugout Discussion

27 June 2012 1871 comments

Paul

After a brief three-day hiatus from the Euro 2012 action, we’re raring to go once again as Spain take on Portugal this evening in the first semi-final of the tournament. With only three games left of the competition, there are big decisions to be made by Fantasy managers looking to get that vital edge in their mini-leagues. As always, we’ve opened up the Dugout Discussion ahead of kick-off:

The team news is in and is as follows:

Vicente Del Bosque makes one alteration to Spain’s lineup from the side that saw off France 2-0 in the previous round. It’s a move that will surprise many, with Alvaro Negredo handed the chance to lead the line, as Cesc Fabregas joins Fernando Torres on the bench. Portugal also make a single change but it’s one that had been anticipated. With Helder Postiga due to a hamstring injury, Hugo Almeida is given the lone forward role.

Spain XI: Casillas; Arbeloa, Ramos, Pique, Jordi Alba; Busquets, Alonso, Xavi; Silva, Negredo, Iniesta
Portugal XI: Patricio: Pereira, Pepe, Bruno Alves, CoentrAo; Veloso, Meireles, Moutinho; Nani, Almeida, Ronaldo

Went for Pique over Arbeloa because of the United Liverpool connection, will probably need that 0.5 in the final though!

  I've been saying since Spain won that Portugal could turn them over and this was not a foregone conclusion. Not saying Portugal WILL win, but they are very capable of turning Spain over here

  Turkish referee Cuneyt Cakir has won the honor of overseeing the Euro12 semi-final pitting Spain against Portugal amid claims from the Portuguese camp that the man is biased against them. Headlines in major Portuguese sporting media uniformly condemned the decision to give the match to Cakir because of an alleged connection between Spanish president of the UEFA Referee Committee Ángel María Villar, and the vice president of the same organization Senes Erzik who is from Turkey. Erzik was also reportedly the intermediary between FC Barcelona and UNICEF when the Catalan club negotiated the sponsorship deal with the global charity.
  
  Barcelona fans will recognize Cakir as the referee who dismissed John Terry during the home leg of the Champions League semi-final with Chelsea, and who awarded Barcelona a penalty in the same match.
