One of the games in the round of 16 is Spain vs Portugal. The game takes place at the Green Point Stadium in Cape Town on 29 of June. The referee is Hector Baldassi from Argentina.
Portugal was in the “monstergroup” with Brazil, Cote D’Ivor and Japan. They qualified for the round of 16 on the second place with 5 points. Although they had two games without any goals (0:0) they had a goal difference of 7. This is caused by the goal festival against North Korea – 7:0. Portugal is awaiting the game against the European Champion and neighbor with pleasure – it will be the first time, that this two teams meet in a World Cup game. And both teams have only one goal – winning the game!
Spain was for the most people the favorite for the World Cup 2010, but the opening game was a shock – they have lost against Suisse with 0:1. After this game they had to get better, and the team of
Vincente del Bosque and they did that against Honduras and Chile and maked the first place in the group H.
