spain have looked tasty throughout this match. Ukraine were unlucky with some dubious offside decisions in the first half and a pathetic sending off. Hoever the spanish have looked pretty on it. Their forth goal was superb - torres has looked amazing all game |

i feel sorry for ukrainians, they are a better team than that..and spain didn't even play in full strength.. |

that was impressive. pretty much every aspect of Spain's game was close to spotless. obviously they generated lots and lots of chances and dominated offensively (and finished!), but they were just as impressive defending. the few times that they gave Ukraine anything, the chance would last no more than a split second before they smothered it again. in general they looked nice and cohesive, with an interesting staggered formation where everyone seemed willing to play their role and make chances for each other. Ramos played well, Senna played well, my boy Puyol looked pretty amazing--that 4th goal was grit and finesse... very nice. obviously the sending off was harsh, but i really don't know if it really made that much of a difference in the outcome. |

in more important news, i think the race for worst hairstyle is pretty wide open this year. in my mind so far, its between Wilhelmsson's Jedi dread, Loco's weird tendrilled variation on the abomination of a hairstyle that Ronaldo was sporting last time around, and Fernando Torres--still sporting a quasi m#@*let of sorts... he's turning into a perennial favourite, as it were... |

how convenient! :D anyway, that was down to a brazilian, no? no im winding you up... |

more to a swedish as larsson changed the whole scenario of the game when he came out |

Spain produced a super display to outclass a Ukraine side that played most of the second half with 10 men. Xabi Alonso headed Spain in front from a Xavi corner and David Villa doubled the lead with a free-kick that deflected past Olexandr Shovkovskiy. Vladislav Vashchuk was sent off for pulling back Fernando Torres and Villa added a third goal from the penalty. Spain saved their best for last when Fernando Torres finished off a sublime move by drilling home. It was a harsh welcome to the finals for World Cup new boys Ukraine who struggled as the temperatures again hit the 30C mark as the German heat-wave continued. Spain wasted no time in going straight at the debutants, with Torres and Villa showing why they were preferred up front to skipper Raul. The Ukraine defence looked like they did not know what had hit them as the front pair's direct running put them firmly on the back foot. Ukraine had already suffered a few scares when Alonso put Spain in front with his first international goal. MESSAGEBOARD Villa will be the top scorer now and will probably move to Madrid or Barca in the summer Go_Spidey_Go Message board: Have your say Whether the ball came off his head or his shoulder was up for debate, but the way Spain celebrated indicated they were not too worried about the aesthetics of the goal. Four minutes later Ukraine's woes worsened when Villa's free-kick clipped the head of Andriy Rusol in the wall and deflected past Shovkovskiy. Rather than taking their foot off the gas, Spain were like a rampaging bull as the red shirts poured forward. At the other end little was going right for Ukraine. Andriy Shevchenko had given them a boost by being passed fit to start, but he was rarely a threat and one of his rare ventures into the Spanish area saw him tread on the ball. It took them 32 minutes to register a shot on goal, and even then it was a scuffed effort from Andriy Gusin that was easily gathered by Iker Casillas. The impressive Villa score |

germans look really strong. and polland looks much better than 1st game too. lovely match this. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it could have been 2:0 for germany already....oh boy.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
spain vs shevschenko. 4-0 was expected. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I must say we're very lucky. And may I say that this improvisatory kind of football is not suited for WC? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
And even if they will be dead tired in 5 minutes, today's performance is no embarassment like the one from the match with Equador was. |

deutschland, über alles ! |

God, God himself doesn't want Germans to win. *And when I was about to press "reply"... |

ze gernas do it again. they really look fantastic. dunno what polls were thinking..not much apperantly. and they're a decent team..odd choices there.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
They look good. If not for some misses and Boruc we would have lost 5:0. I wouldn't say "fantastic" though. |

I am sorry for poland lot of people from poland live in spain and they are nice people, I wanted them to last longer |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it looks fantastic the way they're in control and how confident they are..they didn't let any space at all for polls.. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
germany look really strong? theyve conceded 2 to costa rica, only just beat poland in the last minute, and theyre at home. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Germany vs Poland was a very entertaining match! Germany deserved to win because they were slightly better, not much though. |
||||||||
|

|
|
next time you should watch the game and not check for results only. just a thought :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i watched them both thanks. next time you should not assume. just a thought :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
in that case you didn't observe very well :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
We'll have to wait until they play against a stronger opponent. For now, I'm not stunned. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why because i dont think germany are really strong? have you seen them play yet? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no. looking forward to it though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, definitely. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
germany are strong, they work a lot, they are very constant... but their football is so poor... it has always been, but their formula gave them 3 worldchampions already, so I would fear them |
||||||||
|

I saw the last 10 minutes from the corner of my eyes as I was finishing my essay about the renaissance for school. Looked pretty intense, according to the commentator germany deserved to win in this game & typical german style they won in the last minute. Who are they probably playing against, if they get through to the second round? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maybe paraguay or sweden |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

brazil will most likly play czech republic in round of 16, what a game that'll be. |

better to meet brazil in the 1/8 than in the grandfinal... now they seem totally out of condition |

THIS WORLD CUP FUCKING SUCKS !!! THIS WORLD CUP FUCKING SUCKS !!! REPEAT AFTER ME !!! THIS WORLD CUP FUCKING SUCKS !!! THIS WORLD CUP FUCKING SUCKS !!! THIS WORLD CUP FUCKING SUCKS !!! to much tv commercials during months, blah, blah, blah, too much money, too much time waiting, where are the fucking players? all the teams playing really bad, no magic, no emotions... I hope that at least they enjoy the beers. :_( this world cup is totally shit..., until this moment: total deception, I agree with Nacmat, the only ones that has demonstrated desire to play have been Italy & Zcech Republic... let us hope that everything becomes more interesting soon! |
||||||||

^ erm you could probably add spain and argentina to that list. plus equador have played very well - although they are yet to face any really good opposition. England just played utterly shite against trinidad and tobago. Although t and t decided to defend the entire game we were unable to put any decent moves together, its pathetic that the cream of english premiership players play so poorly and with so little imagination. The first half decent team that comes up against us is in for a treat. Even rooney couldnt save us - we're that bad..... :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
only italy and zcech rep. seem like they want to play? i'm sorry but is there only two continents in your world? I think some outsiders have done really well so far. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah i agree ecuador and australia are really nice surprises none of the african teams performed well though, maybe ivory coast... but they finally lost anyway.... but yes, you could add that one too I think spain played the best so far... but hey I am not impartial here |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so you didnt see spain? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they can all hope sure, but the title will go in brazil or germany. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that could happen... but football is not matmatics... thats where its success relies |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well thats thew wordl cup over - who can possibly beat argentina unless they suffer a inexplicable loss of form, that third goal was a legendary moment. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they looked immense. but things are going to hot up. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they only played serbia and montenegro. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nah, i'm just immitating the comments of some people earlier in this topic. argentina looked fantastic. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
serbia is (or was) a good side yeah, argentina showed their intentions today, they are firm candidates to winning the championship they are a solid team with lots of talent much more equilibrated between their lines than brazil |
