Silva's free kick was perfectly placed as possible. Second goal off defensive horror by goalkeeper. Cesc finishes. Pass from Azpilicueta to Nolito who finishes nicely. Halftime 3-0
5-0 with Morata and Nolito scoring in the second half, changes as follow: 46' Alba for Azpilicueta 46' Thiago for Iniesta 46' Pedro for Silva 46' Busquets for Fabregas 59' Arduriz for Busquets (possible minor injury)
They are probably Jet lagged and I am not kidding. It is a useless game and who ever set it up should get slapped upside the head. We should have played Russia, some eastern European team, Norway.. etc What a waste of time.
Agree with the comment about playing an Eastern European team as a warm up since two of the teams in the group are from the other side of the old iron curtain, plus Turkey.

Czechs lost 2-1 to the same South Korea that we beat 6-1 last week. I think those cheeky Czechs are trying to fools us into underestimating them
