Karma really, they could of gone for the win against Brazil with nothing to lose and they might of played Chile yesterday. They can only blame themselves. They are useless attacking good sides though and they urgently need a top striker to address this.
I didn't get all the drama for them not attacking Brazil. Clearly Brazil are a class above them (and Spain at the moment). We've seen them pull Chile apart after Spain had all sorts of problems with them.
Portugal probably knew that going forward too much against Brazil was going to cost them. Instead they went into the Spain match with their highly impressive defensive record, which would've made the Spanish pretty nervous, on top of their poor form and very lousy record against the Portuguese. I thought it showed in the first half with Portugal being the more dangerous side and Spain looking as if they had no clue.
There's people here continuously having a go at Portugal for having a shit midfield and no strikers, yet at the same time they're complaining about them not attacking Brazil who look a different class from everyone else. Keep it up

Or they could rely on referee decisions to get them goals.
When Xavi plays the ball, your leftback is in line with Villa.
Edit: Well he almost is
