^^ can't say spain played amazing. a combination of that stupid red card + ukraine missing chances and a few fluke goals lead to this score. see ukraine come off firing on all cylenders in the first two minutes of the second half, trying to get back into the game but then the stupid fucking ref made one of the worst calls i've seen in soccer in a while now. wtf was that?? vashchuk didn't even touch torres after he held on to his shorts way outside the box for a second. then he let go, torres went into the box, missed his chance, took a funny dive and not only the ref gives a penalty shot but also a red card. it is clear that the refs were asked to be more cautious about penalty shot calls. never mind that, the player must be clearly brought down whereas vashchuk wasn't even in contact with torres after they both entered the box. definately in top 10 worst calls i've seen in watching soccer in my life! took out everything out of ukraine.
spain can celebrate, they can demolish saudis and tunisia all they want, but the fact is when they end up playing a top world notch team in the playoff round, they are done! they couldn't qualify for the world cup as #1 team in their group, losing to serbia & montenegro @ home when it mattered, got lucky in a playoff to draw slovakia, got the easiest group in the world cup, now will face an easy team in the next round in most likely switzerland or maybe south korea. how easy is the road to world cup suppose to get for them? but the quarterfinals is as far as spain will go. they have too many overrated players such as torres, juaquim, pablo, and especially ramos, the biggest idiot of them all.
p.s. by the way, y is rebrov on the team?? it's like taking theo fleury back on team canada. alcoholics shouldn't be allowed, hence he had that chance that i could have put away late in the game but apparently he saw the net somewhere in the sky!
