Ronaldo penalty after 4 mins has Portugal in front
Fantastic game
1-1
After a route one ball from Spain to Costa and he turned them one way and another before scoring.
Pepe was embarrassing in the challenge leading up to the Costa goal ...
Portugal 2-1 Spain
Ronaldo goal, De Gea fumble
Can’t help but think a similar formation and set up as Portugal / Spain would be good for Wales. Bale up top and Ramsey in behind ?
Wow.
Portugal 2-3 Spain.
Costa got a second and then what a third goal. Thump.
Best game so far by a country mile !
Great finish 3-2 Spain
Wowza, nearly half as good as Bale
That boy can kick a ball !
Spain were outstanding tonight and until Ronaldo's winner looked a shoe-in for the final.
They only know one way of playing, great for the game of football, but it could be their undoing.
What can you say about Ronaldo though that hasn't been said before. Pure genius!
Wow what a fantastic game of football that was...great start to the World Cup.
Yes, I'm not a lover of international games ,but that was some game .
Ronaldo best in the world . Sorry Gringo. If Messi scores a hat trick against opposition similar to Spain, I’ll show my arse in Queen St.!!!!

Interesting take. Let's look at it from a different perspective.
He won a penalty with some splendid trickery against a world class defender, slotted it under enormous pressure.
His second was a goalkeeping error, granted, but how often do you see David de Gea make such a howler.
This has to be at least in part to the fact that it was Ronaldo who took the shot.
The third was again his trickery that drew a poor challenge from a world class defender and slotted a worldy which Danny Murphy predicted would have to go through the wall as was too close to get it up and over.
His concentration and self belief is incredible.
I am not one for singing his praises and the man has many floors but when he is on stage, there are very few in the world who could outshine him, our Gareth being one.
Can't remember a better game as a neutral.
Had Martin Tyler commentating over here (Aust.).
Top stuff !!
