Spain and Portugal: neighbors and top-ranked teams.Currently they're #2 and #3 in the world respectively. These two sides clash regularly on the pitch, but have never faced each other in a World Cup finals match... until now.

Spain may be the European champions, but Portugal have not conceded a single goal so far in South Africa. Will Spain live up to the hype, or will Portugal turn La Roja into ropa vieja?

Players to watch

David Villa v Cristiano Ronaldo
The Spanish striker’s three-goal haul so far at South Africa 2010 has taken his tally at FIFA World Cups to six in total, making Barcelona’s new signing his country’s highest ever scorer in the competition. The flying Portuguese winger, for his part, has struck just once to date in South Africa despite claiming the Budweiser Man of the Match award in each of his side’s three matches. The Real Madrid forward needed a total of 17 shots to score his solitary goal, which came in the demolition of Korea DPR, though Ronaldo can count himself unfortunate to have been denied by the woodwork on two occasions already.
