Thank you very much Shirokov for f**king Russia. You were walking around out there like it was a 5 on 5 practice match and defending Torres & Villa like they were a couple push-overs. Well done Hiddink… nice choice not playing Ignashevich. (sarcasm)

Rain sure as h3ll didn’t help.. but both teams played in the rain.

Sychev was taken off too quickly (for not getting any service), and replaced by Bystrov who brought bad-acting into the game.. and some speed (completely useless in the rain) then was taken off as well!

What a disgrace of Russian football.

SHAME SHAME SHAME

Pavlyuchenko in there instead of Kerzhakov? Are you kidding me?

And lastly I’d like to thank the fifa mafia one more time for suspending the soul of the team (Arshavin) with a dubious red-card in QUALIFYING!! versus Spain-Junior (Andorra).

The defense looks a bit shaky. Against a better team, the score would not be the same. But kudos to the performance of Mara-Villa, as well as Capdevila, Xavi and Silva. It looks like the tag team of Torres and Villa clicked. I hope that Torres doesn’t get upset that he got subbed or that he didn’t score. He didn’t look too happy getting subbed off. We all know the problem with Spain oodles of individual talent, difficult to morph into a team. That said, awesome game and result. Aupa España!
