Spain 4, Ukraine 0. And to think Ukraine's supposed to be Spain's biggest threat in their group. what threat? Some may say Spain got lucky, with 2 free kicks and a corner kick contributing to their goals. So what if you minused off those 'lucky' goals.. Spain would still be 1-0 victorious thanks to Torres' 72nd min effort. With results like this, Spain just might be able to shed that image of underperformers.
Xabi Alonso first goal.

David Villa second goal.

David Villa third goal.

Fernando Torres fourth goal.

The Ukrainian defenders were relentless on their attacks on Torres. Then Vashchuk got sent off for pulling Torres' shorts. I dont think he deserved a direct red card tho. maybe a yellow.. but not red. too harsh.


Shevchenko got caught offside so many times i lost count. i bet Jose Mourinho must be crying cos his heart aches over that 5mil pounds he wasted buying Shevy.


Sergio Ramos was being over ambitious. Quite a number of times i caught him upfield when he's supposed to be a right-back defender! i'd love him to score tho. Then can see him do his cartwheel and backflip. very pretty.


Man of the match?

I'd say David Villa for scoring 2 goals, but both were from free kicks so maybe he's just lucky. He did help to boost the Spanish morale tho.


I'd say Iker Casillas for his brilliant saves but then he made a stupid mistake at a point of time during the game, running out almost 50m from his goalpost in an attempt to get the ball from Voronin (but failed miserably), who looked set to score for Ukraine. Thankfully, Pablo was there to save the day with a timely tackle on Voronin.


Thus, my man of the match would be Carlos Puyol. He proved to be the centre of Spain's defense, never letting the Ukrainians come close to scoring a goal. i had a sense of deja vu tho, watching him defend Shevy. That was a few months back, during the Champions League semi-finals, AC Milan vs Barcelona. back then, i had been on Shevy's side. right now, i'm 100% Puyol. Haha. He was also the architect of Spain's fourth goal, and he deserves full credit for that.


I had faith in Shevy you know. i predicted the score to be 3-1 or 4-1. The 1 goal being Shevy's.. Hai, he disppointed me. But, Espana no decepcionara!
