Spain v Russia


spain 4 russia 1

the match ended 4-1 in favor of spain.. Villa scored a hattrick, plus last-minute strike from Fabregas ensured the spanish armada into comfortable win in their first game of the tournament. villa played magnificently tonite, showing a lot of composure and great eyes for goals. To my dismay, Torres was taken off early in the 2nd half becoz apparently Aragones wanted to protect the 2-0 lead they had in the 1st half. but obviously, all goals from spain can be summed up into these 3 words... efficient counter attacking! with silva, iniesta and xavi in the attacking roles in the middle of park, protected by Senna, just front of back 4, Spain swiftly and efficiently passed the ball, which is very evident especially when counter attacking. Villa especially played very well tonite assisted by the industrious Xavi, and the skillful pair of iniesta and silva. i was expecting a hattrick tonite from Torres but Villa got it instead. nevermind that, whats importang is spain got what they aimed for.
