I think it's all down to styles. Portugal will do the only thing they do: defend and put long balls crossing the fingers Cristiano scores one.
Spain will do what they're doing, trying to retain possession without much depth and struggling because of a system that clearly doesn't fit into this style (two DMFs??? why???).
Spain will try to win the match and Portugal will try to make profit of mistakes. Lately, an contrary to my liking, the latter is winning in the world of football. Sad but true.
I think Portugal could and should play more offensive and not simply counter-attacking and Spain should try to be more direct and look for the goal more often rather than simply retaining possession in the back line.
