    España es más.

    Right now, I think Spain is the best team in the world.

    He's in danger of contracting the Gomez/Toni bug. Let's hope he's like this for the Derby.

    Blame Torres if Spain don't win. He sucks, put Guiza in.

    Spain better get a 2nd goal. Wasting too many chances

    He's still my MOTM. Although Senna and Iniesta are becoming contenders.

    Free kick in a dangerous position for Russia.

    Russia is looking shaky, but if Spain cant manage to score they will have their chances again.

    Spain should kill this off now before Russia regain their composure, but with Torres playing like that, the midfielders need to start getting into the box

    Can't compare the two.
    Russians haven't had the opportunity to blow chances the way Torres has.

    Torres needs to score -- I would not pull him yet. He needs a taste of the goal before we face the Germans. (I know --- counting chickens)

    Good on Torres for keeping his feet on that challenge. Too many players in this tournament would have gone for an Oscar-worthy flop there.

    Russia is starting to look even more vulnerable in the back. I'm surprised they aren't playing more wide balls and getting crosses in with their height advantage, credit must also go to Spains LB and RB who are keeping those crosses from being made.

    I see no logic in Aragones' substitutions... Xavi has been buzzing since his goal and the team have been in control, should've waited another 10 minutes IMO

    I can see something dramatic happening here now Aragones has done that, like a Spanish player getting injured, or Russia getting one back.
