My Prediction
Spain by 2Ah, a duel for the ages, folks. Spain versus Portugal. One might think this geographical proximity makes for neighborly kindness. Far from it. This isn't a garden party, it's a battleground.
Spain, are the favorites here, like the smart kid in class that everyone secretly dislikes. They've been on a roll, like sushi prepared by a master chef. There's no denying the uncomfortable truths. Their report card shows three wins and two draws. The French, remember them? Defeated. So was Japan. Both of them sent home with pats on their backs. Draws against Italy and Canada aren't too shabby either.
Now, Portugal… They're like that sleeping bear you don't want to poke. Their last game against Nigeria was as exciting as watching paint dry. But on good days, they can wreak havoc like a sugar-high toddler in a room full of expensive vases. They smashed South Korea and the Czechs, unimpressed by the USA and nailed Vietnam without blinking an eye.
However, the odds seem as stacked against them as a Jenga tower built by a toddler. Spain's latest outings have shown a stronger offensive thrust. Portugal, even with their highlights, seem to stumble finding the back of the net frequently. Faces redder than their jerseys, eh?
But, as in life and especially in sports, anything's possible - just not probable.
