cosanostra Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Spain 1-0 up - lovely goal from David Villa, laid on by Torres. What a front pairing that is. Russia just hit the post as well. Decent game so far and Spain looking good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therapist Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Spain are a joy to watch. Great skill, movement, and no sellik players in their squad. Hopefully Chelsea FC will sell Drogba and buy Torres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magicTs Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Spain looking very impressive going forward all be it against a hopeless Russian central defence however I do worry about them at the back if they are genuinely considered title winners. Russia, depsite not playing at their best and without Arshavin have still managed to create a few chances and I think Spain will struggle for clean sheets against the big guns in the 1/4, 1/2 and final. Maybe they will score loads of goals so it won't matter but I still think they will need to tighten up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant bet that.Can't believe the folk that backed Torres ahead of Villa.Torres was always going to be more of the creator.16 goals in 32 games now for Villa.

I still think they'll qualify from the group stages and after that with the return of Arshavin might be a different proposition. Not going to win it though, IMO.

Jamboy81 Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Watched the whole of the Spain match and I wasn't dissapointed. Passing, movement, control - absolutely superb. No Idea why they took Torres off after 50 mins but probably lucky for Russia that they did otherwise it could have been a rout. Football played the right way and winning football, well done Spain!

kearney19 Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Oh yeah! Just back from work and saw the hatrick! Might go put on some money on Poldolski just to keep it safe, also pleased for Fabregas scoring too, gets my points up in the dream team, 1st headed goal he has scored I am led to believe, hasnt scored 1 for Arsenal anyway. Spain were excellent 2nd half I was told, hard to call between them or Holland to win it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would put money on none of those two winning.Both brilliant their first games but these tournaments are all about peaking at the right time.Remember that Spain scored 4 goals in there opening game at the last WC only to bow out early as usual.

I agree with that. Whilst both look exciting going forward when the tournament gets down to the nitty gritty and the straight knock out both will have to tighten up at the back as they probably won't be able to rely on scoring 3 or 4 goals against the big teams.

Dr Ian Malcolm Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Wait 'til Spain play someone good before judging them. I'd say they've got the easiest group - the gulf between them and the other three is massive. Veing in Group C, they'll play (most likely) the runners up of Group C - either Holland, France or Italy. Could come unstuck when they're really tested defensively. Still fancy one of Germany or Portugal. Hopefully Klose gets his shooting boots on the next couple games, none of this squaring it to Gomez/Comically miss-hitting volleys to tee up Podolski!

Scott_HMFC1874 Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I think Spain have a really good chance this year. If i had any, then my money would be on them!! They'll have a difficult path but neither France or Italy have shown that much in their opening games. Still, Spain or the Czechs as a sneaky outsider for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavsy Van Gaverson Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Villa could have been snapped up for around ?20 million a few weeks back when Valencia announced they would sell him.
