World Cup Semi Final preview

Belgium vs Portugal  Italy or Spain who will progress.

Balotelli voted most disappointing player of the tournament so far. 

Mr Malcolm lined up by Italian F.A. as replacement once Beddows fails.

Belgium arguably have a more balanced squad than Portugal who are pretty much dependent on one player. So what do they do defend hard and hit on the break as surely Portugal will not get much possession. 

Belgium have to strangle the game , deny Portugal possession and use their own attacking prowess to blunt Ronaldo's edge.

I go for a Portugal edge.

Italy vs Spain.   Well this will only go one way . If Italy continue to play the liability that is Balotelli. One goal in 5 games is not enough and he must be dropped or once defeated Beddows will have to resign, Mr Malcolm has been seen hanging around the Italian training camp and has been approached by the F.A. should Beddows be sacked or resign in disgrace.

Spain are the better team and should win, although Italy do have the aging but reliable Buffon to fall back on.  I go for a Spain win.
