raining day cause a bad slow tempo for a both team.. but spain manage to control their side as usual

FT : 4 - 1

i think they just kept him for next match

oh well...looks like torres wont be starting the next match since fabregas plays better with villa.

Looks like Villa gonna be the contender of Golden Boot. He can play upfront alone. Fabregas is offside but the scoreline already 3-1. Consider it as a bonus for him. huhuhu... Good game n hope they can maintain the form.

what a game that was..at last the matches with plenty of goals are starting to come..i think torres did quite a decent job early in the game but somehow faded away..

i didnt expect Sapin win by 4 goal,i tot win by one goal or draw,btw keep up the good work,we can win if play like this

liverpoolfc.tv did survey that said 69% of lfc fans are supporting spain.
so put ur hands up those who are

i was hoping he could perform more at the 2nd half but too bad is was off. anyway what a match. good goals but isnt fabregas offside when he score the goal? im not sure if that consider offside or not

that pavlyuchenko kinda dangerous. at least he can score 1 goal after so many tries. he knows how to sneak behind capdevila

very sharp flying header.. even any top 1 goalkeeper cant deny it.

Torres and Villa combination run ragged the Russian defense throughout the match last night. If those 2 players is on form then Spain stand a good chance of winning this tournament.

I think Aragones is right about being caution about yesterday's performance. The scoreline didn't indicate how the game was being played. After all last WC Spain did really well in the group stages but were knocked out by the French in the 2nd round. So Aragones is right to play down the Russian result.

Viva Espana!!!!!!

nice hattrick from villa. sure his value will shoot up after the tournament.
about time for spain to get rid of their perennial under achiever tag and live up to their biling as one of the hot favourite in this competition.
bwign drawn in the easier group sure help!

but i still doubt why torres was sub off so early ....
izzit a test or an experiment for Aragones ?
would it be a lone stiker for Torres in next match ?

the last wc spain scored a lot too,but............

keep the faith.....I think this time will be better.

For crying out loud will u Liverpool fans get a grip. Torres isn't the only good striker in the squad. In fact for the national team Torres has not produce consistently. If a lone striker is to be used it would be Villa leading the line. But I think Aragones will stick with the same lineup for the next game.
