It's Bill as pundit!

The first half was tight and I couldn't watch. But I think Spain just really got lucky that Ibrahimovic had to be taken off in the second half because our non-defense couldn't handle him!

(Mkay, Sergio, I love you, but when you run forward all the time, you leave this huge gaping hole at the back.)

Second half, it seemed like Sweden was just contented enough with a draw and just piled on players in defense. It was frustrating, I screamed my head off when Villa finally scored.

Bill, your match capsules are brilliant! Have I told you this before? Your assessment is spot on as usual. This match had many, many nervous moments for me. I was frustrated when Aragones didn't sub off both Iniesta and David Silva, both of whom I felt could have done better in the first half. But he was right to keep Silva on and of course he did sub Iniesta eventually. All the subs did great and greatly helped Spain keep possession in the second half, which resulted in a win after they patiently attacked again and again. In the end, I still felt they were lucky to win over an excellent and strong Swedish team. I was so sure this one would end tied.

Oh, and Serg will be Serg, as usual. LOL. Actually, whenever a player of his calibre plays either poorly or like his head isn't in it, it usually means something is going on behind the scenes. Like this transfer rumour thing. *bites nails* I hope it doesn't happen.

Although I don't mind telling you I'm a bit intrigued by a move to Utd. for him, I hate to admit.

OK - this is probably the first time we disagree on a match! I was very disappointed to miss Spain's first match, and was really looking forward to tonight. And was very disappointed
