Spain - Ukraine

[g force]

Can't do much on your own against a quality defence - the thought of him and Robben is fairly scary.

BTW - I imagine all the teams who wanted Torres had best find an extra £5-10m down the back of the sofa if he carries on like this.

Bad linesman and a mistake from the ref, but it hasn't handed the game to us - we’ve outplayed them in every area.

But, that was never a foul when Senna scored, so it's evened itself out.

of course you have.

the ref pulled it up for what looked like a head injury. then gave a free kick as a sort of compromise IMO. another example of poor refereeing.

that fourth goal was sublime

he needs to score the ones when it's still 0-0 and tense, torres that is.

"¡it's not a mexican wave, it's a tsunami!" thank you cuatro.

Certainly does...but maybe it's agood tactic to have Torres and Villa who are hungry to win the ball and then use Raul as back up.

I thought they were going to explode just when Spain nearly had a shot in the first half. In the second half I had to turn off completely and put the radio on - no better but at least it meant no more shots of the Royals.

See Brazil on La Sexta last night? Who was the moron screaming "¡viva el fútbol!" for no apparent reason?

Very good team performance, up there with the Czechs.

4-0 Torres scores and he's deserved it. Nice support friom Puyol

Very nice indeed.

Pleased with the result.

Now I just need to find a bleeding flag for my bike- which is proving far more difficult than I had expected

didn't see the match. but spain sound like they were impressive, but as others have said, they seem to do this, start well, then fade when the going gets tough

If England don't win it, Spain are one of the teams I'd like to see do it, partly because they're the one major force that never has.
