Sakit hati see Spain (referee???) play, but the wait for 92nd minute winner was worthwhile

waaaaaa..4 goals in two matches..velencia's chairman must be smiling now coz the prize on villa's head will increase to 30million...money money money he said... ~hahahahahaha

Torres and Villa is striking a beautiful partnership since the last World Cup. However I think Spain was abit fortunate to find the breakthrough once Zlatan equalized for the Swede. The Swede was solid at the back and wasn't give much and practically was holding out for the draw. The lost of Puyol cause major problem for the Spanish and the deputed Abiol isn't good enough.

Moreover I think the Spanish build up play is way too slow before the ball is deliver to the final third. If the Spanish is trailing they would be in problem if they keep on with current style of play. I think they need to sweep the ball much faster rather than passing the ball too much around.

luckily we still win even cant get two penalty
hope we will face Romania next

Villa is on fire...
nice to see torres and villa's combo

p.s: sorry for late updating...been busy

I was on the verge of losing 10k and Villa the Messiah really saved my ass. And I beg Barcelona to sell Camp Nou in order to get Villa at all cost.

Villaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...ur the man..come,chelsea welcome u lah,hahahaha

Eh guys, i want to ask, where to buy the new Espana's Euro jersey in KL ? Cari byk tempat, but tak dpt

That's an oversimplification of the Spanish style. Against Russia the ball was released faster to exploit the pace of Torres and Villa. Against Sweden it was different. Why? Because they were defending deeper with more men behind the ball. It's always difficult to find space when a team parks the bus.

i think spain's gameplay was as usual when puyol was on the field..once the backline have the ball, xavi would always come deep to get the ball, and spain's attack would start from there..when puyol came off, spain played like they never prepared any tactics b4 the game..kucar kacir almost everytime..iniesta also was having a bad game imo..

yes, both torres and villa scored goals, but i cant remember if there were any good move that they made together..is there any?so i cant say their partnership is very good..they still have rooms in to improve on their understanding

Verx, yestedray was the second time I've seen Ramos over 90 minutes and to be honest i still think he's bollocks at defending
A better Risse who plays on the right would be how i rate him... how's he at center back?

to be honest casillas and ramos have been dodgy in both games
its just a bit drop of performance, coz ive always seen they do better than that

ramos more to me as attacking role than as a defender... i dont know for his coach but for me it create a big gap at right back... coz he always 'lambat turun'... coz very syok to attack one... maybe for russia and sweden ok la.. but if you face arjen robben or c.ronaldo in semi final (lets hope) you will kena my friend....

I think Ramos is a good player however perhaps not the most discipline of defender as it is evident in the last 2 games where he failed to track back on most occassion leaving the right side of defense vulnerable to attack. Perhaps after the group phase he will be more focus on defense duty as there would be more capable opponent to exploit their weakness. His merit is his ability to support attack as he providing the width for the Spanish with his overlapping run on the right flank.

yes u are right..they can perform much better than they did in the last 2 games

even iniesta had to cover ramos' position at times bcoz ramos was TOO slow to get to his position..quite frequent actually..but i still think ramos is the best for that position, as the other option for RB is puyol, but im sure puyol will be mainly used as centreback..wondering why aragones didnt bring atletico defenders along (pablo, lopez, pernia)..they maybe had a bad season, but still they can offer several options to him for the defence..i think this team has to many midfielders..

super play by villa against the swedes...nontheless nice clearnace forward by capdevilla to send villa the ball....and wat superb finish....wow....cool as cucumber

Spain v Italy
As much as i would like to see Spain going on to lift the trophy, i somehow get the feeling that it is the end of the road
