World Cup: Spain come from behind to win
Switzerland scored a 2-0 win over troubled Togo to end Togo's World Cup dreams. Goals from Alexander Frei and Tranquillo Barnetta gave Switerland a well deserved win. They are now in a good position, though they will need a result againest the Koreans. As for the Sparrowhawks, I hope France beat them bad in the last game. I mean they threaten to boycott the game hours before kick-off over unpaid bonuses, BOYCOTT A WORLD CUP MATCH! Goodbye, good riddence and hopefully France will give you a deserved send-off!
Ukraine outclassed Saudi Arabia 4-0 to get thir World Cup back on track. Andriy Rusol, Serhiy Rebrov, Andriy Shevchenko and Maksym Kalinichenko all scored a goal to give Ukraine a convincing win as the Saudi's defence disappeared for large periods of the game. Not only was the defence missing, the keeper was crap as well! The second goal from Rebrov was extremely embrassing. The shot came from 35 metres and the keeper slipped! Yes, he slip and watch as the ball flew over him into the net. Everytime Ukraine crossed the ball from wide, they looked like scoring. Ukraine could and should have won by more than 4. They now faced Tunisia needing just a draw to go to the second round. As for the Saudis...they next face Spain. They lost to Ukraine by 4, and Ukraine lost to Spain by 4 in the first game. You do the maths!
Spain came from behind to book their ticket for the second round of the World Cup with a 3-1 win over Tunisia. Jawer Mnari gave the Tunisians a shock 8th min lead but Raul came off the bench to poke the ball into the net in the 71st min. A shot from Cesc Fabregas forced a rebound from the keeper and Raul was there for the poke-in. Fernando Torres then struck two goals for Spain. The first in the 75th min after an assist from Fábregas, and the second from the penalty spot in the 90th min. Tunisia played well but was really no match for Spain. Even when they were leading, Spain had all of the play and the only surprise was that they managed to hold on the lead for so long. Luis Aragones put on 3 substitutes, Fabregas, Raul and Joaquin, and all 3 played a part in the goals. Fabregas really should be starting and Joaquin gave Spain some much need width when he came on. Raul should start from the bench again as Villa and Torres are playing well together. Not as convincing as in their first game but Spain are still one of the teams to beat.
