Sengihan Sepanyol

Tersengih2 aku menyaksikan si Villa dan si Torres memporak-perandakan defence formation Russia malam tadi. Aided by the masterful passing display of Xavi, Iniesta and Fabregas, the strikers are assured of constantly having the bullets to work with.

Cantik. Sungguh cantik. Complemented by Puyol and Co at the back, they were as devastating as a high-voltage taser gun, powerless to defend against. 4-1 is an accurate score to reflect the game. Russia did nothing wrong, they just lacked the class which became the pivotal factor in the end.

Concerns? Atm defense je lah, they did let in a late goal. Lacked just that liiiiiiiiittle bit of authority compared to e.g the Dutch (Tu pun masterclass jugak tu). No worries for firepower and imagination, just question marks on ability to soak up pressure from the likes of Germany, Holland and the gang. Pretty? Yes. Effective? TBC.

Summary: Gol demi gol

1-0: Through sampai Torres, tepi-tgh ngan Villa. Winning Eleven stuff.

2-0: Iniesta mencucuk antara 2-3 defenders, lalu Villa meng'ole' keeper.

3-0: Fabregas through cun gila kepada Villa, dribbles past the lastman and the rest is history.

3-1: From a corner, a flicked header was reheaded strongly by Pavlyuchenko.

4-1: Villa chip baik punya, Xavi shoot tapi ditampan ke atas, however Fabregas was there to mop it up, siap diving header lagi.

On with Greece and Sweden!
