Why Portugal?!

Of course now the round of 16 is over, and unfortunately Portugal is out of the match! I'll just give you the highlight's of the game if you didn't watch it.
  • Attempted goals from both teams in the first half, and Ronaldo and Coentrão on their A game.
  • Ronaldo received a few free kicks, and this time they were actually at the goal.
  • Half time came and went, and I predicted that there would be substitutions.
  • I was right a few substitutions were made as soon as the second half started.
  • At the 67'th minute, Spain's midfielder Villa made shot the ball into the goal. Portugal's goalkeeper knocked it out, but the Portuguese defense didn't get to the ball before the Spain, so Spain knocked the ball into the goal...which made the score...1-0
  • While the goal was made number 19, of Spain, jersey was ripped at the top (and it was very nice thing to see)!
  • Portugal almost made some goals, but it just didn't get into the goal!
  • Portugal's number 21, Ricardo Costa, was given a red card because he was overly "aggressive", and he was immediately sent off of the field.
  • If you noticed Spain started to hog the ball after the goal and during the end so Portugal couldn't make a goal. Smart move on Spain, dumb move on Portugal for not bother getting on the ball!
  • The whistle then blows at the 93'rd minute, and the score is 1-0
  • Portugal's goalkeeper was on the edge of crying (if he didn't cry on the field), Ronaldo and some other players were pissed, and some other players, Tiago and Bruno, took off their jerseys to exchange with the Spaniard players.
I cried a little bit after the game because I was really disappointed in Portugal for not trying harder, and their forward line was really weak (but I still love them all)! Then I thought about it for a minute. If you were apart of the Nike Football commercial (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idLG6jh23yE) you have been cursed! Plus-if you really think about it-Portugal sort of went out like the USA! They both tied two games and won one single game in the match of 32 and moved on to the round of 16 with a lost (without going overtime, like the USA) and were sent home.
All I can say is:
Why Portugal?!
