Spain vs. Honduras

21/6/10 Ellis Park, Johannesburg

Spain 2-0 Honduras

Goal Scorers: David Villa [twice]

Oh, what a beauty, and yes, I'm talking about David Villa's glorious goal. His run was powerful but light, he struck for goal full of confidence and the ball obeyed, smashing itself into victory. So it was, Barcelona's latest kid turns out to be good buy. There are going to be a lot of eager fans awaiting his entrance. It was his night, although he failed to get that penalty and thus depriving himself of a hat-rick. I had already typed hat-rick and was just about to tweet it, when he missed. This is Espana's tricky conundrum, they don't score enough goals.


All these rough and tumble teams, like Honduras, should just go home. There has been enough wild tackles and dirty dives, and it doesn't matter what you do, as long as you continue to behave in a reasonable manner. 

Then there is El Niño, who looks rather unwell. He was disorientated, couldn't place the ball, and was exhausted. The guy did not seem to have enough strength and dragged himself all over until the coach finally called him off. I do hope he gets better soon, if Allah Wills.
