Sign Off
Thank you for joining us for Day 2's game! If the rest of the tournament will be as entertaining as today's games, then the next month of football will be absolutely exhilarating. Please tune in to our coverage tomorrow, where France faces Australia, Argentina takes on Iceland, Peru plays Denmark, and Croatia finishes off the day against Nigeria.

Final Analysis
A marquee matchup between Spain and Portugal lived up to the hype surrounding it. As predicted, Cristiano Ronaldo did what Cristiano Ronaldo does: score goals. He scored 3 today, including the spectacular free kick which brought the game level at 3. However, it was Spain's Nacho who scored a goal that will be in discussion for goal of the tournament. Spain looked like they were going to coast to a victory, but the two mistakes by De Gea and Pique will leave Spain disappointed. Spain will go on to play Iran and Portugal will play Morocco in their next matches on June 20th.

Half Analysis
Portugal will be extremely happy at the half after taking the lead late against Spain. Portugal started off hot early, when Cristiano Ronaldo earned himself a penalty which he converted. Spain then took control for most of the first half with their elegant passing, leading to many goal scoring opportunities. However, their goal came from an amazing individual effort from Diego Costa, slotting it passed a diving Rui Patricio. Portugal retook the lead with a shot that will give David De Gea nightmares for weeks to come, as well as give fans flashback to Rob Green's blunder against the United States, when he fumbled the ball into his own net. Spain do have some positives, owning most of the possession but must do better dealing with Portugal's counter attacks. As for Portugal, the obvious thing to do is to give the ball to Ronaldo and let him do what he does.

Spain Preview
Spain look to repeat their 2010 World Cup performance which they won, while trying to avoid their 2014 World Cup performance which they failed to make it out of the group stage. The big news coming out of the Spain camp is the firing of manager Julen Lopetegui on the eve of the start of the World Cup. Lopetegui did not lose a match while managing Spain. Spain players have rallied together, with Gerard Pique referencing the 1989 Michigan Wolverines basketball team, implying that they can win, even with the new manager.
